Old Association Newsletters

Post by **Ron** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:03 am

Lou sent me a few issues of the old UK based Associaton newsletters - which I plan on scanning and then putting these pdf's on the web site or forum. Since they are copies of copies, some pages may not be able to be scanned (photographs, drawings, etc.) or may be irrelevant now. I will do what I can, but I'd like to ask permission of the people who wrote many of the articles - Lou Giansante, Joe Siudzinski and any others who may have joined us if it would be OK to publish these on our website and/or forum. I probably cannot track down any of the other authors.

Fine by me. I'll send Joe an email but I think he was going back to the South Seas - we should all be so lucky.

Heard from Joe - he is currently in Alaska and heading to Vancouver. He will be back home on the 20th. He has almost all of the newsletters and seems more than willing to help out getting them scanned and posted. H efeels that it might make more sense to post them chronologically. I think he is willing to make PDF's out there and send them to you to post, but Ill let him address that when he gets back.

Folks,

Over the years I have collected many articles on the early Telstars. My file folder is about 2" thick and contains old newsletters, written notes from other owners, old brochures and some photos. For example I just found a color print of a 26 named "Veronica 1" sail number 107.

Unfortunately I am unable to access the Member Info Center to compare what is there with what I have. I suspect this is because I joined the group last year and did not return until this week - it is a long story! Now, with the anticipation of becoming a Telstar sailor again I paid my dues and have spent the last two days reading this great forum and would like to help out.

Ron,

I also have an old address list of the previous Telstar Association which may help in getting permissions from some of the authors.

Edit: Whoops, my Telstar is an 8T. I have changed my signature accordingly

Geoffrey -

I had sent you an email (yesterday) asking for your user name on the forum, after seeing the paypal notification. I couldn't trace your email address to anyone on the forum. I now know that you are petrel and you're on the members list.

Hi Geoffrey, I for one would be very interested in all pics, literature and info you have that isn't in the members section already. I own one of the rare 8m marina versions and would be particularly interested in anything you may have on that - there seems to be very little info about on it...
Are your pages digitized ready for upload or e-mailing?

Great to hear from a long time owner and hope to learn much from you in the future!

Harvey,

Here is the only information I have on the Marina model. It is a brochure that Joe S. sent me. I will add the last page on the next message since I am limted to three attachments per message.

Harvey,

Here is the last page of the brochure for the Marina Model. Ghee I just figured out why you are using the name Marina for your handle here on the Telstar Forum. All this time I have been trying to understand why you chose that name, now it is clear.

Yeah, I did wonder if anyone would twig! Thanks for the brochure, but unfortunately that is the only info that I already have as it's in the members section...

cheers Harvey

OOPS, I should have checked that. I guess you are going to be the one who knows more than anyone else on this forums since you are the only owner I know of a Marina model. Is she trailerable, would seem possible? Did you find a Hull Number?
