If you like Multihulls...

I recently found out that the company that makes my trimaran is looking to sell several of the prototypes of my boat, the Telstar 28. If you're interested in getting a 28' trimaran for a pretty good price, you might want to look here.

If you have questions about the boats, you can PM me...

BTW, I do not work for the company... just a pretty happy customer of theirs.

Isn't every boat manufacturer out there trying to sell a few boats at a good price ??? Does this become news when a multihull company does it ??? Is that because they rarely sell boats or is it because there are so few that have not sunk within the first fifteen minutes of launch ???

Just curious ....

We're just teasing you SD. You have a nice boat and should not be offended by our comments.

The only reason I posted the link is I know many of you want to buy a trimaran like mine, but can't afford it otherwise.

Come over to the dark side...and learn to run down 35-40' boats in a 28' boat...and leave them in your wake.... learn the joys of sailing in 3' of water, where most other boats can't even go.

The Telstar 28 is a relatively new boat, and very few are on the used boat market, and not everyone can afford to buy one new.

So this is a good way to help out the company and fellow sailors who might want one.

I was aboard that hull #300 right after they splashed it. Even as a prototype, it was impressive. $10K !!?? Too bad I'm not in the market. Some recent college grad that can live without amenities is going to scoop that one up....

One of the prototypes has wheel steering... which looks really bizarre to me.

Did you copy that from the macgregor brochure???

Nope... they usually don't leave 40' boats in their wake... I have some video of a Mac 26x motor sailing and we left it in the dust.

I thought it was very funny...they didn't look to happy with us though.

Hi SD,
I got an email from Will Hershfeld saying that that was an ad from about a year ago and that all the boats they intended to sell then had already been sold. So, unfortunately, I'm a day (year) late and a dime (10K) short.
The only lingering thought in my mind now is: "Where's Barney?" (For those who haven't clicked on the link, Barney is/was hull number 300- the prototype for the Telstar 28.....which also makes me wonder, "Why not hull #1?")
