Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex (Wednesday 6 October, 2010):  Following a hugely successful 50th Endeavour Trophy champion of champions event last weekend at Burnham-on-Crouch, Topper Sailboats has agreed to renew its sponsorship deal for another three years.

Topper, who has supplied a brand-new fleet of Topper Xenon dinghies on an annual basis for the last six years, has decided to continue its association with this prestigious dinghy champion of champions regatta, to help the host club – the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club – maintain the reputation it has for running such a unique and high quality event.

Edwin Buckley ­– Event Director – chatting about Topper's involvement in the event, said: "We are absolutely delighted that Topper has agreed to continue its support. Thanks to Topper, we have seen the Endeavour grow into a highly acclaimed professional sporting event. We are passionate about ensuring this event continues to grow and hope we can attract more support to help it through the next 50 years. However, we do rely heavily on sponsorship and are looking for new supporting sponsors to match Topper's enthusiasm for the event."

Rick Reading – Topper's Sales and Marketing Director – added: "We are pleased to be involved with such a hi-profile dinghy event as the Endeavour Trophy and look forward to continuing to provide support. We have had a lot of valuable feedback about the Xenons from the champions who've sailed them over the years which has helped with the continued development of our Topper range of boats."
