"From the moment
I stepped into
the Xenon, its
uncompromising
stability became
immediately
apparent. The
stability
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. 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's Xenon
is the widest
dinghy ever made
by rotomoulding,
but this is not
just another
cruisy plastic
boat. The Xenon
Sport rig comes
with jib, mylar
main and a black
kite, and was
selected as the
one-design for
the Endeavour
'champion of
champions'
Trophy."

"The 2005
Endeavour Trophy
proved a great
success, with
the event being
completely
rejuvenated,
primarily due to
a change of
boat. This year
the boat
selected for the
event was the
new Topaz Xenon.
Topper's
fantastic
support included
providing new
boats for
everyone at the
event, certainly
a brave way to
introduce their
new Xenon, i.e.
let 26 National
Champions race
them at this
prestigious
championship and
then see what
they think of
the boat.
However, Topper
pulled it off,
with very
positive
comments at the
end of the
series, and
having pre sold
all the boats,
the new owners
arrived at the
Royal
Corinthian,
eager to get
their hands on
their new race
machines."

"It was a
delight to sail
the production
Xenon on a fine
summer's day The
Xenon has all
the makings of a
dual purpose
boat. It has
great potential
as a one design
racing class
with good looks,
enjoyable
performance and
a well sorted
platform. The
beamy hull is
stable, with
plenty of room
for the crew.
The unexpected
face of the
Xenon is that it
could also be a
really nice
general purpose
boat for family
sailing."
YACHTS &

"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."
YACHTS &

"Huge price
advantage over
older
competitors like
the 2000 and
400."

"If its good
enough for the
champion of
champions then
its good enough
for me."
