History - Telstar Mk 1

The first model in the Telstar series. First produced in 1970 and in production until 1975. 80 hulls of this type were built, all by Sandwich Yacht Construction Ltd in United Kingdom. The design was novel at the time and showed that combination of speed, comfort, safety and accommodations can be achieved in a single design.[5]
The boat was designed with amas connected to the main hull by rigid decks. The outer hulls and decks could fold down for trailering. Accommodations included seating for up to eight on benches that convert to 4 single bunks, one bunk extending to a double, galley, dining table, and a marine toilet in the forecabin. The estimated top speed was 15 knots.
