'Top Tips' at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show 2014

by Adam McElroy 25 Feb 2014 07:57 GMT Stand C58, 1-2 March 2014

The Topper class association will be exhibiting once again at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show and the winners from the Topper CraftInsure national series of 2013 will receive their prizes at a presentation on the RYA youth class stand 12.30pm Saturday 1st March from Chloe Martin (Laser Radial Podium Squad)

Come and meet a class which is passionate about junior sailing and developing the talents of young sailors, talk to some of our National Squad members on the RYA Youth stand and get some "Top Tips" to start your junior sailing career.

Both the Past Chairman, Tom Dixon and incoming Chairman, Adam McElroy will be on hand - along with the new Class Secretary, Jeanette Sanderson.

You will find us on stand C58.

ITCA(GBR) is the Class Association for Topper sailors in the UK. We are known as "The Friendly Class", with sailors keen to welcome new members and parents and supporters, who are always happy to help one another and promote good sportsmanship.

We organise coaching and racing events for Topper sailors both at a regional level and nationally, and although the Topper is sailed predominantly by junior sailors we have active members of all ages in our fleet.

The Class is grateful for the continued support of our major sponsors; Crewsaver, CraftInsure, Virtual Rigger and Sailing Solutions, and Topper themselves.
