English family dinghy Topper Cruz Classic. This is the version with Bermuda rig and asymmetric spinnaker (another version of the Topper Cruz also exists, rigged as a ketch with two self-supporting masts). A family dinghy specifically designed for touring (watertight lockers, stainless steel centerboard, integrated double motor chair, anchor locker, etc.). A dinghy that can also be fun, thanks to its wide modern hull, asymmetrical spinnaker and fully battened mainsail!

Family dinghy (stable, almost impossible to capsize, doesn't get wet) English for 6 people. In the same concept as the Caravelle or Skellig.

Can be sailed or motorized. Ideal for family cruising (possibility of camping on the boat with a small tent) over several days (watertight locker for gear).

The Topper Cruz Classic was designed by Topper, Laser's main competitor in the dinghy market, in response to demand from families and sailing schools for a more modern version of the Wayfarer. This boat has been designed to enable a single person to carry out all maneuvers (light, easy to handle, simple and safe). This last criterion is useful for single-handed sailing, or to enable the more experienced skipper to take along a crew of beginners.

A boat similar in spirit to the Caravelle, but without the Caravelle's disadvantages. Much lighter, faster, more versatile and safer. It belongs to a special category of dinghies called "rando" dinghies. This category is unique. They are not to be confused with the sporty dinghies so well known in sailing centers. The approach to sailing with rando dinghies allows you to concentrate on the pleasure of sailing, and to forget all the worries and complexity that can be involved in setting up a more conventional sailboat (mast only possible in a minute, neoprene not compulsory).

Possible options (at extra cost) : Awning, Road and launch trailer (two trailers one on top of the other), asymmetrical spinnaker.
