The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Advantages:
you dont need to know much to be able to sail a topper all you realey need to know is how to put the mast in and put the boom (wich is the horizontal pole) they are very boyant and made from a strong fibre glass hull the boat its self goes quite fast
Disadvantages:
they can capsize if not handeld properly
I have been on sailing lessons and the boat I was taught on was a topper. After I compleated the course I went to the loch wich rented them out from then on I go at least every second week in all types of weather so I wish dad would finally get me a topper. they can be stored on a roof rack on your car and the often home with a small folding trailer. The rudder can be removed for stowage or travell the centre board raised/lowerd to diffrent hights,they are also light weight they also come in a wide range of colours ,you can upgrade them so they can be rowed when the wind drops but say you are going in an your topper and you run aground or crash into something wich cracks or punctures the hull or ruptures any I have been on sailing lessons and the boat I was taught on was a topper. After I completed the course I went to the loch which rented them out from then on I go at least every second week in all types of weather so my dad finally decided to get me a topper. So he phoned the dinghy store and they ordered me one in. they can be stored on a roof rack on your car and the often home with a small folding trailer. The rudder can be removed for stowage or travel the centre board raised/lowered to different hights, they are also light weight they also come in a wide range of colours, you can upgrade them so they can be rowed when the wind drops but say you are going in an your topper and you run aground or crash into something which cracks or punctures the hull or ruptures any part of the boat you wont need to take it to a repair store, you can just paste some fibre glass on it. You can take the topper to the coast and sail there for free and you can also enter sailing competitions. If these boats are looked after they will last for decades they also require very little maintenance, they are very easy to put up because the sail is warped around the mast and is easily unravelled. Say a stronger wind comes up and its too windy for you, all you do is role some of the sail up around the mast and continue sailing. In conclusion this is the Ideal beginners boat.
