About Topcraft
Since 1996, Topcraft has developed its own boats. More than 5,000 satisfied Topcraft owners are now sailing the Dutch waters. Topcraft develops new models itself. Quality is paramount for decades of trouble-free sailing pleasure. Topcraft therefore delivers quality. This is not an empty phrase, the shipyard is known for replacing moulds with new ones more quickly than elsewhere. A mould is expensive, the temptation is great to manufacture a number of extra boats with it. However, for impeccable construction quality, this is not a good idea. A worn-out mould does not produce super-tight polyester work.
Another point of attention of the yard is the time that a new boat is allowed to harden in the mold. A new Topcraft is only released when the polyester has finished hardening. Accelerating this, in order to quickly use the mold again for the next copy, does not benefit the lifespan and the quality of the laminate. A lot of boats with a sharp price and good quality characterize the range of Topcraft. Topcraft has built up a good name as a producer and has found a very good balance between speed and comfort.
sailing test
Sailing test: review by Epco Ongering: fast and affordable.
The boat test of the Topcraft 565 tender was carried out in 2020 with a Tohatsu 60 hp outboard engine in the bun. The Topcraft 565 tender proves that fast sailing is not only reserved for people with a fat wallet. It is a simple polyester tender, which can also sail fast with engines above 30 hp.
Console boats
Topcraft has been around for a few decades. The brand grew big by building well-thought-out console boats and opened the way for a new generation of water sports enthusiasts. In the Benelux, there are already around 5,000 Topcrafts sailing around. They are budget-friendly boats, built in Poland and prepared for the water in our own country.
Nice price
The Topcraft 565 tender is brand new and the second largest model in the range, which runs from a 4.50 meter long console boat to the tender 605. The 565 has a fair price for a compact, fast tender.
Hard bottom
The Topcraft 565 tender was only introduced in the spring of 2020 and comes quite complete. The standard package includes a cable ring, the Diamonds seat and back cushion set with capitonné cushions and stainless steel cleats.
The tub is self-draining and the polyester work is well maintained. The bins, under the benches, which are integrated into the inner shell are attractive. They are neatly finished and easy to clean. It is also smart that the seat cushions have a hard bottom, so that they stay in place and provide an easy closure of the storage compartments.
'Sloepig'
The exterior of the Topcraft 565 tender is that of a modern tender, with a freely flared bow and a wide, backward-facing back, ending in a swimming platform. The black rope fender gives the boat a 'sloopy' accent. The layout is not everyday. The engine compartment can only be opened from the swimming platform. Two excellent gas springs make this easy. The boat is wide at the back, has wide steps to the cockpit on both sides of the compartment. However, there is only a step leading into the cockpit on the starboard side. It is inconvenient that you can easily sit against this angular polyester step at the helm. Just like some other minor flaws, this will be corrected in the next copies. The rear seat is comfortable and wide enough for two people. Underneath is the space for the loose fuel tank and the battery.
Handy
The slim steering console is beautifully shaped, is angled so that you can put your feet up and is functional. You have a cup holder and a place where you can put your phone upright to follow the route. On the starboard side is a console with a handy compartment for small items. The other side of the cockpit has two steps and in front of that is a console that forms the boundary with the front part of the cockpit. In the front is a spacious U-shaped bench, where a bed can be made together with the table. The high back cushions look nice, are placed quite steeply, but under the spray hood, you have a nice sheltered seat. Right at the front is an anchor locker with a teak line cover plate.
Lightest
The Topcraft 565 tender weighs 600 kilograms and motorization is possible between 20 and 60 hp. In the well of the test boat hangs a 60 hp Tohatsu , a fine three-cylinder petrol engine. It is a new model that was introduced this year and is the lightest in its class with a weight of 98.5 kilograms. This engine is also equipped with the most modern gadgets such as EcoMo and Blast. These are provisions that make the engine run more economically, without loss of power. It is a fine, smooth power source, which runs whisper-quietly in the well and looks modern.
Need a hood
On the test day there was a lot of wind and then you notice that the wide-spread nose of this tender provides a lot of spray at speed. Slowly sailing, spray is no problem at all. Then the boat is easy to maneuver and friendly to the occupants. When we open the throttle completely, the boat hits the waves quite a bit and water regularly comes over. On this day with a lot of waves and wind we note a top speed of 43 kilometers per hour. That is a nice speed, but this tender undoubtedly comes into its own as a water-displacing tender or fast-sailing when the conditions are optimal.
