A Different Kind Of Sailing Experience.
The Topaz 16 is an accessible but high performance cat designed for two medium to light crew. There is room on the trampoline for three for cruising.
The Topaz Catamarans have been designed by International multihull racing legends Yves Loday and Robert White. With such sailing experience and pedigree, not to mention their proven design track records, it comes as little surprise that the Loday/White team have produced such a stunning range of cats.
