Topper Hull Plates

Whilst visiting the Royal Tay Yacht Club today i was concerned to see the very poor state of the hull plates (the replaceable bit in the bottom of a Topper the takes all the damage to stop the hull being broken) on the clubs training boats.  Over the years I have replaced many slightly damaged ones on race boats and all those which I have discarded were probably better than the ones on many club Toppers.

I would love to help clubs which use Toppers with supplying any surplus spare bits so if anyone has any surplus Topper kit, hull plates especially can you give them to me when we next meet at an event and I will see that they get put to use in one of the many clubs which are introducing youngsters to the joys of sailing and Toppers in particular.
