I'm afraid time has run out for me. The boat will either be listed with a broker or stored for future use.

I appreciate this site. The information and help has been excellent.

Regards,
Brett

I'm interested in finding a Telstar 28. I really don't know how to navigate this web site. Steve Mangelsen smangels@rushmore.com

Don't feel bad Steve, the site has just recently moved here... it should pick up! Used boats pop up every now and then, good luck!

Thanks Gene At least I know this is working. We talked to a couple on a 28 when we were up in the Apostle Islands a year or so ago. They were impressed with the boat and loveing it. So I've seen one and wish now that we had sailed with them a little. The thing looks really good on paper but You know a Mac 26 looks good on paper too. We are trailer sailing a Caltalina 27 and it's getting to be too much work as I get older. Do they really sail that good and do they feel as solid as my 7000 pound mono? There is one for sale in Fla. that I kind of think I might go look at. Is there any big problem that a person should look for? Steve

Steve -

If you make it down to Florida I'd be happy to give your a ride on mine, weather permitting. We're in Punta Gorda until early May.

Unlike most trimarans, the 28 Telstar has a very solid feel. It was designed as a fast cruising boat, and won't really lift an ama totally out of the water in under 20 knots of wind. I can easily pull away from most monohulls under 40 feet long. For example - I've done nearly 17 knots in about 22 knots of wind. But I'm not sure if its that much less work (overall) than your Catalina. The mast is easier to get up though, and you can do it yourself. If you want EASY check out some of the cat boats. I've got a 20 foot Compac Horizon up north, and can get it into or out of the water in about 15 minutes.

We lost our domain names and old site when our webmaster went MIA. About half of our members have not found our new ones yet.

Gene We are going to be in Fl.in Feb. for sure. We have a boat rented for a week at Burnt Store. It's an Etap 32 named Promise. Would be great to get a short sail on your boat and have someone who understands them give me a tour. Steve P.S. Dates from 16th to 23rd.

Ron Excuse me! Not use to forums and assumed I was answering Gene but same goes. Would love to get together Stevem

I expect to be around most of February. Maybe head over to Miami for the boat show for 2 or 3 days? Give me some warning when you will be here. We're about 8.9 nautical miles north of Burnt Store Marina, in Punta Gorda Isles.
