The answer is no, but surely Topper made one or two good boats. Search your dinghy park, I bet you will find at least one! |

They made the Topper... that was a good boat for its design brief.
Blaze- it had potential, but it took someone else to realise it Buzz, Iso, Spice & Boss- all had their various shortcomings, feeble boats Taz- rather have a Tera Xenon- rather have a Vago Topaz Uno- rather have a Feva Cruz- rather not sail okay, okay Byte- fair enough, good boat, even better now it's not got a topper badge! |

WF didn't design the Tornado either, but some very nice examples came out of there in the 80's and 90's IRC, Hurricane 5.9 is legendary too
