Well said Mr Holman, well said. I shall bear you in mind next time I need a bespoke handle designing. It is a much ignored yet vital part of our everyday existence. |

Sort of more modern Pico. There was a bunch of them out in Poole harbour when I was working there the other week. Looks quite nice. Now merged with topper and to be a Topaz Fusion ... That'll kill it.

I'd not heard that. Have they taken on the little play boat, too? Sad economic times the cause?

Hi Chaps, Fusion and the company owners are doing great, and have shifted over 100 boats in first half of 2020 which may make them record holders amongst dinghy manufacturers. The Topper association is as a result of moving the rotormoulding of the hulls to Topper's facility, and an arrangement regarding increasing marketing reach and access to some far away markets. I think it stays "Fusion" in certain territories and "Topaz Fusion" in others. Dan

Good to hear. Talking to the guys at conferences they have a real enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport.

I have a mirror too. For recreational sailing they are unbeatable. Wood doesn't have to be high maintenance either just slap crude paint and varnish over and bare patches and when the time comes to do a full paint they are now so cheap you can buy another and gather around the old one on a cold winters evening and burn it 😂 |
