Omega is just as happy sailed one up, two up or even seven up. The combination of the stability and performance together with reefing and easy control systems mean the Omega is the ultimate multi purpose family sailboat.
The attention to detail given to the boat design and the deck layout means the Omega delivers versatility, comfort and performance without compromise. The Omega is ideal for family cruising and teaching newcomers while offering more experienced sailors impressive performance potential, pedigree handling and high specification throughout. So you can club race or go for an uplifting blast in your Omega too.
The beamy, chined hull inspires great confidence making the Omega more stable and easy to control. The huge, spacious cockpit with its gnav kicker offers roomy and comfortable sailing for a large crew.
The Omega has a furling jib and a Mylar sail for performance.
The mainsail is equipped with a flotation device and this, together with the boat's sealed mast offers safe, fun family sailing. Righting lines and grab rails are all fitted as standard.
The boat can be sailed single-handedly or depowered using Selden’s simple single-line reefing system in the mainsail.
The single-line halyard makes for easy launch and retrieval of the gennaker which could be operated by beginner sailors.

Reviews

It's not only the schools who rate the TOPAZ OMEGA. This is what the yachting experts think: "So can a polyethylene boat compete against its GRP sisters? YOU BET IT CAN, IT IS JUST AS GOOD TO SAIL, AND MUCH CHEAPER. For the holiday companies and sailing schools which will be major buyers, its price and its longevity should be a big advantage. For them the Topaz Omega's ability to carry a four man crew comfortably will be another big plus for teaching, while its good performance, its gennaker, and its trapeze option will allow pupils at sailing schools to use it for more advanced classes, as well as just for starting to sail." YACHTING LIFE
"The boat is big enough to replace a Wayfarer, and its value for money will ensure that it often will. For private buyers its flexibility is impressive, and while it could cruise and motor comfortably under outboard, I would happily race it too, something I didn’t expect. The Topaz Omega is a resounding hit in my book. If you are thinking about a family boat, or a boat to buy for your club or sailing school the Omega should be well up the list." YACHTING LIFE
"The Omega is quite capable of replacing the current learning boats like the Wayfarer and the Stratos. The polyethylene construction gives the Omega a big price advantage against its longer established competitors, and the knock-proof nature the material means much less maintenance than on GRP boats" YACHTING LIFE
"The Topaz Omega is a boat which pretty much all ages could enjoy - one up, two up, three up, four up or more up. Topper should do very nicely with this one. The Topaz Omega is a superb boat with loads of room, good performance, good looks, excellent systems and fittings at a very good price." YACHTS and YACHTING
"If you are looking for a modern sailboat that is more than capable of replacing the current learning boats like the Wayfarer and Stratos - then look no further than the new Topaz OMEGA." DINGHY MAGAZINE
