"Set to become a
modern racing
classic".
DINGHY MAGAZINE
The Xenon is an
excellent high
performance
2-man hiking
boat perfect for
getting your
friend or
partner into
non-trapeze
sailing or for
club racing. It
comes at half
the price of any
of its club
racing
competitors and
has been
selected as the
boat of choice
for the
prestigious
Champion of
Champions event
in the Endeavour
Trophy in 2005
and again this
year in 2006. It
also comes
highly
recommended by
yachting press
test teams and
it has the seal
of approval from
some of the
leading names in
UK dinghy
sailing.
"The XENON has
great potential
as a one design
racing class
with good looks,
enjoyable
performance and
a well sorted
platform".

The Topaz
XENON offers the
unique luxury of
a really
generous beam to
length ratio.
This all
important extra
WIDE BEAM means
the power of the
sails is easy to
handle and
guarantees a
comfortable and
stable platform
for all age
groups.
Therefore,
unlike most
other racing
classes the
XENON is
extremely
forgiving and is
instantly
accessible to a
wide range of
abilities. So
you’ll spend
more of your
time sailing and
less swimming.
"The XENON has
uncompromising
stability and
this certainly
reflects in the
sailing
performance;
upwind the boat
feels well
balanced, whilst
downwind the
sizeable
gennaker gives
significant
extra power
without feeling
intimidating.
The Xenon also
planes readily
and perks up in
the smallest of
gusts."

"It was a
delight to sail
the Xenon, she
has all the
makings of a
dual purpose
boat. The beamy
hull is stable,
with plenty of
room for the
crew. She has
great potential
as a one design
racing class and
the unexpected
face of the
Xenon is that it
could also be a
really nice
general purpose
boat for family
sailing."

The XENON
features the
fabulous CHINE
technology as
pioneered by Ian
Howlett. The
attractive chine
runs the length
of the hull and
further enhances
the XENON in
terms of
stability and
control. This
means the XENON
stays afloat
when many
competitors
would capsize.
So you'll spend
more of your
time on the
water rather
than in it!
"From the moment
I stepped into
the Xenon, its
uncompromising
stability became
immediately
apparent. Gybing
downwind is a
pleasure, with
the chined hull
digging into the
water allowing
you to roll the
boat and perform
the manoeuvre
without even
thinking about
it."

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.
What you get is
an incredibly
low maintenance
and virtually
indestructible
ultra tough
hull.
"Huge
price advantage
over older
competitors like
the 2000 and
400."

The XENON
represents
incredible value
for money
retailing for
significantly
less than other
boats of its
type. She
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.
The beamy hull
and chine
technology make
the XENON far
more accessible
than similar
club racers,
therefore all
the family can
enjoy the XENON
as a fun boat
with capacity
for up to four.
This unique
multi purpose
appeal further
enhances the
value for money
that the XENON
represents.
"Formidable
style... Precise
well mannered
and easy to
drive upwind
with good speed
and excellent
stability. Best
of all the Topaz
Xenon has a
knockout price
which looks
great value."
