The Topaz Magno is a Sailing dinghy created by Topper International designed for between 1 and 4 crew members, though usually 2.[2]
Performance and design
The Magno is a three-sail boat that can be sailed single-handedly due to its zip-reefing system in the mainsail. It has a spacious cockpit making it suitable for teaching groups.
The Magno is a dinghy that can be used for learning to sail and to club racing.[3] The Magno, a mid-sized dinghy of the topper range, is a good boat for youth training, being stable with room for two trainees and an instructor. The boat also has a Gnav kicker system.
