The Topper Book: Topper sailing from start to finish

How to rig, sail and race this incredibly popular singlehanded dinghy.

There are 45,000 Topper dinghies and this is the only book on how to sail and race them. Colour photos and photo sequences show how to rig the boat (with either stern or centre mainsheet), sail and race it – to championship standard.

The Topper is now one of the four RYA recognised Junior Pathway Classes, with national and zone squads feeding into the RYA recognised youth classes. Its popularity is increasing in leaps and bounds.
