Latest Topper Xenon thing

   Hull weight 118kgs - is that a typo?  33kgs more than an RS400?  Will a jockey wheel be standard?  You can't say you're not getting a lot of boat for your money...

	It is going to be used in the Endeavour Trophy (Dinghy Champion of Champions event). There is a long press release on that story on (ahem) another UK sailing news site. Unlike before where competitors had to scrounge an RS400 from somewhere, Topper will supply the boats.

	So do you think this will be the final nail in the coffin for the Endeavour Trophy?

	In these Internet days you have to be a bit careful about giving classes names so that search engiones can find them... TYpe Cherub into a web browser and you get 100 links telling you where to buy kitsch little figurines for instance. A made up name like vargo kinda makes sense.
