{"title":"Topper Boats","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Topper is one of the most successful single handed dinghies ever built, a tough, simple boat that takes juniors from their first tentative sails right through to national and world championship racing. Buying one is the start of years of sailing, so it makes sense to buy from a dealer who sails, knows the class and is still there to help with parts and advice long after the boat arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe supply new Toppers in all three rig sizes, the 4.2, 5.3 and 6.4, so you can match the boat to the sailor's weight and experience. The 4.2 rig suits younger and lighter sailors starting out, the 5.3 is the popular middle rig for club and open racing, and the 6.4 gives heavier and more experienced sailors the power they need. Every boat is backed by our full range of Topper spares, ropes and covers, so keeping it race ready is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs dinghy sailors ourselves, we would rather help you buy the right rig and get it set up properly than simply take an order. If you are weighing up which Topper suits your sailor, or want to talk through delivery and getting into the class, call us on 01268 222912 and we will talk it through properly.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"topper-4-2-race-sailing-dinghy","title":"Topper 4.2 Race Sailing Dinghy","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTopper 4.2 Race Sailing Dinghy\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Topper 4.2 is a single-handed sailing dinghy designed for sailors who want speed, control, and progression in one simple, durable package.
