A second edition of the popular and only book on sailing the Topper dinghy – one of the UK’s most successful sailing classes.

The Topper is a brilliant boat – just under 50,000 have been sold and thousands of people learn the basic skills in Toppers every year. This is the only book which shows you how to rig, sail and race – right up to World Champion standard. It is packed full of advice, go-fast tips, photo sequences and diagrams. It starts by describing how to rig and sail the boat before moving on to racing and providing master classes for success in competitions.

Dave Cockerill held the role of RYA Topper UK Head Coach for 14 years. He is the Topper 4.2 National Coach and was instrumental in introducing the centre mainsheet and 4.2 sail to the class. John Caig is a former Topper National & European Champion. He twice won the Fireball World Championship and has been a member of the British Olympic Yachting team. He is also author of Fernhurst’s Racing: A Beginner’s Manual.
