Topper Topaz Vibe and Vibe X
The Vibe offers a great introduction to performance sailing. It is designed as a hiking performance double hander but can also be sailed with the addition of a single trapeze. The Mylar mainsail area can be reduced by up to 20% using the innovative zip reefing system, meaning that the boat can be altered to suit virtual novices, club racers and even set up as a singlehander.
The Topaz Vibe’s cleverly designed hull lines and beamy hull make it stable and secure whilst still offering a fast, fun adrenaline rush. Using the groundbreaking Topaz construction technology, the VIBE also boasts an ultra-robust hull that requires virtually no maintenance and at a fraction of the cost of any GRP equivalent. And it comes with a three-year hull warranty.
The spacious cockpit offers roomy and comfortable sailing and it’s the perfect size for youngsters or adults. In short, the Topaz Vibe makes a great value, high performance boat versatile enough for sailors of any level and age to use.
A more powerful Vibe X rig is also available. The VIBE X utilises the same hull as the original Vibe which has proven to be exceptionally stable, light and compact – with the addition of a larger and more powerful rig. The extra power which allows the boat to plane even earlier and sail even faster is ideal for lighter wind conditions, heavier sailors or to challenge crews as they grow in confidence.
