Topper

Description

The Topper by Proctor is a zippy little eleven-foot British sailing dinghy, dreamed up by the legendary Ian Proctor in nineteen sixty-six as the world's first mass-produced plastic one-design-molded in tough polypropylene for unbeatable durability and a featherweight ninety-five pounds that makes her a trailerable dream for kids and beginners. With a six-foot beam, three-foot-six draft under her cat-rigged main (sixty-eight square feet of sail), and a snug cockpit for one to three crew, she's a forgiving rocket that planes in a puff and teaches tacky skills on everything from ponds to bays, hitting seven knots easy while shrugging off dings like a champ-over sixty thousand built since, and still ruling junior fleets worldwide.
