exactly this - there is the still the aspect of the coming out of thesquad system into being a 'good' adult sailor in terms of support andcoaching ( and possibly opportunities if not in awell paid work or a hired gun ) |

They also have the 'Topaz', they are in effect admitting 'Aero' is a better adult boat.

Do Topper organise the event, or is it the Class Association? Topper may nopt have that much say. If RS are offering x UKP in extra sponsorship and Topper don't want to match...
And I really don't think even Topper would consider the Topaz to be a significant choice for Topper National competitors. |

Is the Topaz a 'class'? Does it have a class association? any class racing? I would imagine the number of people who've attended a Topper Nationals and then 'progressed' to a Topaz is precisely zero. Topaz is a fine enough product, a great beginner's boat but it doesn't really compete with ILCA or Aero.

Topper's own materials sell the Topaz ,especially as a singlehander as a teaching / fun boat that can race ... |

No one is suggesting Topaz is the better boat, I can't see Topper going out of there way to agree, "sorry the Topaz or any other single hander we sell is totally unsuitable, go for a Laser or similar". They have a large range of boats and cats, seems strange to have a rival single hander at one of their events.
