Just because any idiot can sail a topper, doesn't mean any idiot can sail it well. Common misconception i think is that once you can steer the thing you've mastered it- not the case in any boat.

Ok sorry peeps i just made a complete knob of myself i thought you meant that you thought all grp boats and stuff are all crap aswell...............sorry
Also like Harry said Topper's might be easy to make move but the racing is very tactical and good challenge and they have the added bonus of you being able to take them out when other boats really struggle !...........although that might be down to the sailor |

Found this on the boats.com review Unusually, the Vortex is not produced in Laser's own factory in Banbury but at Rob White's premises in Brightlingsea. Construction appears to be of high quality and utilises glass, foam and vinyl ester resins. What few fittings there are all appear to be man enough for the job and everything functions effectively. |
