From Topper sailing in their youth to Volvo Ocean Race super stars, here is your chance to win two signed copies of canvas prints with pictures of them both sailing a Topper and also involved in the Volvo Ocean race.
In order to have a chance of winning visit the ITCA GBR Topper stand at the show each day before 15:00 and fill out a competition slip. Winners will be announced on the Saturday and Sunday at 15:30 by picking a name from the Topper Hat.
You may do some advanced research if you wish, here is the question you will need to answer in order to win.
Name at least five sailors that have sailed a Topper as juniors or youth, and have then followed this by being any of the following: Olympic medallist, Olympian, Adult World Champion, Podium squad or Potential Podium squad in the British Sailing Team.
With some lateral thinking you will already be 2/5ths of the way there! The list is quite long so you have a lot of choices.
Ian's print shows him fending off some high calibre competition in 1987 at the Topper Top Dog competition held at Walton on very windy Thames in 1987. Annie's print shows her hooning around Poole harbour with a beaming smile; out of shot are many of her friends in Toppers that have remained life-long friends, many visiting her at a number of Volvo Ocean race stop overs. Possibly why the Topper Class is known as "The Friendly Class".
We look forward to seeing you on the stand and bon chance!
