I thought the whole point of this thread was converting a Topper to foils???

Why not buy Strawberry's British Moth and play with that.  The moth is like a Topper but with a stayed mast and a bigger sail with alot up top (designed for river sailing).  It would be easy to beef it up, add wings, trapeze, assy etc.  You could then take out the centreboard and convert it to a dagger board.  Get an old rudder and make a T foil from it, do the same for the rudder and hey presto you have a foiling moth.

Who needs wands etc when you can just go higher and higher until you fall off.......now that sounds like fun.

Yeah, but would she know?! (I know my mum's got eyes in the back of her head, but I dunno about yours)!  Nah, all you say is, I'm gonna be away for two weeks, can you call my friend, because she's involved in the buy/sell of the boat too!! Easy peasy...

Hey ed! I have a plan... !

Why don't you call him (cos I hate chatting to people I don't know on the phone) and find out what he's doing -

how much he'll be selling it for e.t.c, and whether he'll deliver it, and then if he needs to contact us, just give him my home phone number!!

Sorted?!
