Best Catamaran – Sailing World

Best Catamaran – Voiles & Voiliers and Coup de Coeur Winner.

SUPERB 14′ RACING catamaran
• Great racing catamaran for lighter-weight crews:
• ISAF ”Learn to Sail” Class.
• True performance catamaran sailing.
• Precise, well-mannered handling.
• Very robust, ultra-tough, maintenance-free TRILAM construction. 

International multihull racing legends Yves Loday and Robert White have designed the Topaz Catamarans. With such sailing experience and pedigree, not to mention their proven design track records, it comes as little surprise that the Loday/White team has produced such a stunning range of cats.

The Topaz 14 is a wonderful 14-foot catamaran that is fast, fun, forgiving and ideally suited to lighter-weight crews.  There is room on the trampoline for three for cruising. The Topaz 14C has a twin trapeze and a powerful 11.50m2 sail area courtesy of a large Dacron main and jib. The 14CX has a decent 10.00m2 gennaker to provide a more powered-up downwind ride.

The Topaz cats are all roto-moulded in tri-laminated Metalicene™polyethylene, producing the stiffest, lightest, most dynamic hulls available. The hulls are also extraordinarily robust and low maintenance, making them ideal for even the most demanding sailing school environments.
