Telstar 28 (2003)

Introducing "Mingulay," a rare 2003 Telstar 28 trimaran, now available for discerning sailors seeking performance and versatility. Built in the USA and subsequently imported to Europe, this exceptional vessel stands out as the only Telstar 28 of its kind on the continent. Designed by Tony Smith and constructed by Performance Cruising Inc., the Telstar 28 is renowned for its innovative folding amas, allowing for a beam reduction from 18 feet to 8.5 feet, facilitating easy trailering and mooring in restricted spaces. Recent enhancements include a new Raymarine navigation suite, a screecher and asymmetric spinnaker for versatile sail options, and a 20hp Tohatsu outboard engine with electric start and tilt, ensuring reliable and efficient propulsion. The mast and rigging have been recently replaced, and a new centreboard has been installed, contributing to the vessel's exceptional handling and stability. Additional features such as an electric head, lithium battery system complemented by a 120W solar panel, built-in water tank, and an inverter cater to modern cruising needs. The interior boasts a modified double berth and a saloon table, providing a comfortable living space for extended voyages. With its shallow draft of just 1 foot with the centreboard up, "Mingulay" is perfect for exploring coastal waters and shallow bays. The innovative design allows the mast to be stepped single-handedly using a one-rope system, making solo sailing a breeze. The application of Coppercoat antifouling ensures long-lasting hull protection with minimal maintenance. As a trailerable sailboat, this Telstar 28 offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to embark on new adventures with ease.
