The Magno will appeal to all the
family. She is user friendly from
day one, the dynamic yet forgiving
hull is married to an easily
controlled rig that is prefect for
less experienced sailors but will
also give you that extra oomph on
demand.
As with all Howlett designs,
stability is reassuring and seasoned
sailors will quickly appreciate the
pedigree handling, impressive
performance potential and high
specification throughout.
And the furling jib also means you
can transform the Magno to a
powerful singlehander.

The Magno provides far more space
than any other sailboat in it's
price range. The spacious and
comfortable cockpit has a secure and
confident feel. Additional built-in
buoyancy and a higher freeboard
ensures that four people can enjoy
perfect sailing without the boat
taking on water. The high boom and
gnav system makes for an even more
roomy cockpit area. This clever hull
design even allows you to remove the
thwart seat from the centre of the
cockpit to add even more space.

Topper International's unparalleled
expertise in thermoplastics has
meant that the very latest rapid
advances in material technology have
been fully harnessed to produce an
incredibly strong, lightweight,
stiff and durable hull. The
Metalicene TRILAM hull moulding is a
three layer sandwich construction
with a tough outer skin to give
exceptional impact strength and
because of the foam core, the whole
construction is lightweight and has
a positive buoyancy. The
TOPAZ-technique is the envy of the
industry.

The boat is simplicity itself to rig
and launch and the control systems
are childs play. Lightweight and
easy to handle ashore the boat is
safe and stable afloat and comes
complete with a user-friendly
centreboard. The power source is a
modern and easily handled rig and
can even be reefed for less
experienced crews or in high winds.
The Magno makes gennaker sailing
accessible to virtually everyone.
The gennaker system is supremely
efficient and even young sailors can
raise or lower the gennaker on a
single line launch as smoothly as
the professionals.
And the low maintenance hull means
owning and looking after the Magno
is a doddle too.

The Magno represents incredible
value for money retailing for
significantly less than the average
modern family 14 footers. The Magno
utilises the latest thermoplastic
production techniques resulting in a
super tough low maintenance hull at
a fraction of the cost of GRP. This
is the key reason why the Topaz
range retails at significantly less
than you might expect. |
