Telstar 8m poster

[petrel]

Today I framed an old 8m Telstar poster that I stored for many years. It now hangs in my office as a reminder to get my own 8m in the water this coming season. The photo is quite stunning and appears to be influenced by Star Trek/ Star Wars creating a real "spaceship" look. As well as reading Telstar 8m there is small print in the right bottom corner "Performance Cruising P. O. Box 381 Mayo Md 21106". Which means it was used to promote the 8ms that were manufactured in the U.S.A. However, the boat has earlier model inverted "U" shaped corner stanchions and a British front hatch, and a hard dodger!?
