Why choose

THE VIBE

Why VIBE? Because the VIBE is a hiking boat which offers a great introduction to performance sailing without trapezing. Because nothing will take you from beginner to club racer quicker than the Topaz VIBE. Because you'll grow into this boat not out of it! Because the VIBE is fast and fun yet stable and controllable so you'll spend more time on the water and less time in it!

"Rotomoulding has really come of age over the last couple of years. Now Topper, buoyed by the success of the its Xenon launched last year, have introduced the Ian Howlett designed Vibe which seems ideal for husband/wife or parent child sailing partnerships where crew weight might be around the 18-24 stone range. Basically a smaller version of the Xenon, the Vibe comes well equipped with ball race blocks and includes a 6.58 sq m Mylar mainsail, plus jib and 8.4 sq m asymmetric spinnaker. Now the best bit. If you want a new boat to race this year the Vibe is currently available at a low, low price of £3395. Yep, that price is correct, all kitted out and ready to race." YACHTS & YACHTING

"The Topaz VIBE is lively and a load of fun to sail, but very stable and easy to manage for anyone past the basic levels of sailing."
