TOPAZ 14 TEST
YACHTS & YACHTING TEST REPORT 2008

 

"The Topaz 14 was a bit special."

 

"The Topaz cats bridge the gap between low cost and true performance catsailing."

 

"When you jump on you immediately know you are going to have a good sail... Feels like a light fast dinghy."

 

"Superb looks."

 

"Above all, it's a beautifully behaved little boat that would make a great racing class for lighter weight sailors up to 80kg. It's also a great price."

 

"The 14 XTREME is the icing on the cake. Upwind it is a tremendous performer, with a rig that looks and acts like a scaled-down A-Class cat (the world's quickest small boat to windward)."
