Hello everyone. I am happy to joint your group. I live in France. I am about to buy one. Do you have any information about the winch I should find. I understand the hull is quite narrow. I also do not exactly how the sails "ropes" run on the deck. I am use to IOM's which are quite different 😊

Hi, I have Robbe Sirius and photo copy of the instruction manual. The manual in total is 35 pages with pictures and text in 5 different languages. Not ideal for photographing or uploading.
Happy to put a the copy in the post. One other point has the boat you acquired got the sail winch fitted as the Robbie SW-2 was very narrow and when I rigged mine back in 2012 was the only one that I could find that fitted into the moulding

Hey there MrB!
I have been looking for a Robbe Topkapi manual for 6 months, all over the world, and have failed. Some of my good friends here suggested I write Krick who owns all the Robbe plans and patterns. Sadly, Robbe’s bookkeeping was questionable and they used model serial numbers for multiple craft, multiple times! And at times trashing the old paperwork of the older kit, saving only the recycled model’s serial number and using it on a newer, wholly unrelated kit. It’s crazy town!
The folks at Knick found this as astonishing as me.
No matter what, if the manual search doesn’t work out through the usual searches; ebay etc. Def write to the customer service person at Krick. He was very helpful.
