Do they like it?

Pay your £25 and you will find out - I think the Daily Sail is worth £25 / year and complements this site well.

Apart from the fact that the Xenon has 95% of the sail area of an RS400 and three times that of a N12 it's a spitting image...
Can't wait to try hiding it in a N12 race

www.thedailysail.com.  Subscription-only sailing news website.  Don't know if I should mention it here

The man from Topper he say "the bigger you go with the plastic boats the lighter they get proportionally to glass boats, so this hull is now 118kg"   Shurely shome mishtake, or if not mishtake contradiction...  Apparently the GRP prototype weighed 25kg more than that - about the same as a 1970s GP14!  Plus ca change...

Check out the other threads on this forum on this subject.

I'm also trying to choose between L2000, Vision and Xenon

Any feedback appreciated.

Saw it at the dinghy show, delivery in June, loved every minute in it since.  Very responsive, lots of room, nice and stable.
So good I started a forum (see Marine Boy's post above).
Certainly echo Martin's wish for an open meeting, be a blast.

2 positive reviews in a row of a plastic boat on the Y&Y forum...wonders will never cease! Maybe Topper have done a decent boat?
