Visit the International Topper Class Association (GBR) stand (C58) at the RYA Dinghy Show, 29 February – 01 March at Alexandra Palace, London and take part in the ‘Toppers Travel the World Competition’ to win a FREE Topper Reactivation Kit for your boat or club, worth £1,552.50 (inc VAT).

The competition celebrates the fact that four Toppers have joined the crew of the Royal Navy’s HMS Prince of Wales, the largest ship ever built for the Royal Navy, and its latest Aircraft Carrier.

Kindly donated by Topper International Limited the four Internationals Toppers will now travel the world with the ships F-35 Lightening stealth fighters, helicopters and 1,500 crew and will be used by the crew, many of whom are ex Topper sailors, when they visit ports around the world.

To enter pick up an entry form from the stand and correctly answer the seven questions to be in with a chance of winning. The competition closes on 07 March 2020. Entries can be submitted on the stand, or post or email. Visit the stand for full competition details or chat to member of the team about Topper and HMS Prince of Wales.

Alongside the ‘Travel the World’ competition visitors can also take part in the ‘Reactivate your Topper’ competition at the show and be in with a chance of winning brand new boat worth £3,195 (Inc VAT, excluding trolley and cover) for your club or centre.

If you want to see how it can be done and for any advice, drop by the stand where you will also see a partially reactivated 40 year old Topper (10000).

“Because the Topper is virtually indestructible, and it is the only boat of its type to be moulded from polypropylene, it’s uniquely able to be restored to a virtually ‘as new’ condition – just with a bit of know-how, elbow grease and love!”, commented Roger Proctor, Designer’s Representative, ITCA (World).

A discounted Reactivation Kit to make your boat/s up to date, tiptop and competition and race-ready is also available, chat to a member of the team at the show to find out more.

To enter the 2020 competition all you need to do is send the before and after shots of your Topper reactivation to [email] by 01 October 2020. It’s as simple as that!

Winners of the 2019 ‘Reactivate your Topper’ competition will be on the Topper stand on Saturday 29 February at 1230 to receive their certificate and for photos.
