The Topper Omega is a 4.70 m group boat for sailing schools and families: it carries up to 7 crew, has a swing-down centreboard, a reefing mainsail and a gennaker, and weighs 160 kg thanks to its Trilam construction.
We often hear sailing instructors and their students say that school boats are beamy and can take lots of children and adults, but are slow to manoeuvre and very heavy: they struggle to sail upwind, and off the wind they are slow, which makes sailing them very boring.
Topper’s answer, the Omega group boat, has given sailing schools a new, different and great-fun option that thrills children and adults from the moment they set sail. The Omega offers comfort, safety and maximum performance. All this has made the Omega the most widely used group boat in Spanish sailing schools.
The boat has very modern lines: fine at the bow and very beamy from the mast to the stern, which is open, as on all the previous models. The Omega has two rows of side seating running from bow to stern, so 6 or 7 people fit very comfortably.
It has a swing-down centreboard, and the kicker is above the boom, so nothing gets in the way when manoeuvring, which adds even more to the boat’s great sense of space. Add the powerful mainsail with reinforced battens and the furling jib, plus a very low weight for a boat of this kind, 160 kg, thanks to the Trilam system (walls made of three layers: polyethylene, polyethylene foam and polyethylene), and the result is a fast, safe boat that families and sailing-school children enjoy from the very first moment.
In addition, the mainsail can be reefed for safer sailing in strong winds. It also has a fun, powerful gennaker that is quick to hoist and drop thanks to a single-line halyard, which makes launching and recovering it easy enough for beginners. Once stowed, it is hidden in a sock at the bow, where it is very discreet and takes up no space.
The boat comes with an epoxy centreboard and rudder, and all fittings are of the highest quality available.
