28' Performance Cruising Telstar 28 Racers and Cruisers

Manufacturer Provided Description

Imagine a craft that's equally adept at sailing at or above wind-speed and motoring at up to 15 knots. A craft with a stable 18' beam that easily retracts to a trailer-able 8'6". Imagine a craft that is engineered and built using the latest technology resulting in a super-light, incredibly strong laminate. Now imagine that craft is trailer-able, enabling you to create new adventures on cruising grounds you have always dreamed of sailing. This vessel is fitted with the optional Mast raising/lowering to enable on man to step the mast.  In broad strokes, these are the qualities of the Telstar 28 Trimaran.

Main - 250 sq.ft.
RF Genoa - 274 sq.ft.
RF Screecher - Asymmetrical - 590 sq.ft.

The T2 surpasses the challenge of combining optimal hull shapes, a performance rig, a convenient deck arrangement, and roomy cockpit - all with a large and comfortable interior arrangement. Sailors stepping inside the main salon are immediately taken with the light and airy interior thanks to the wide portlight array of windows and two overhead Bomar hatches. In addition, the substantial gangway with two steps makes entering and exiting, even with gear, sure and easy. Sailors will also appreciate a rather uncommon trait among trimarans this size; a full 6' of headroom. The centerpiece of the T28's salon is a teakwood table with comfortable seating for six adults. Up front, a separate head provides privacy and extra storage. Additional storage is available on the port side of the centerboard case, integrated bins on the main bulkhead, galley storage, navigation station storage, and a bunk beneath the cockpit.

Whether you're out for a day sail or a long weekend, the T2's galley makes it easy to produce an organized meal for you and your crew. There's plenty of countertop area and the main table is within passing distance. A stainless steel sink with hand-pump faucet provides access to 30 gallons of fresh water. The two-burner propane stove with broiler provides a surprising amount of versatility in preparing hot meals. There's also a good amount of galley storage with slide cabinets above and bin storage under and behind the stove.

The main hull design on the T2 is based on the proven hull-shape of the Gemini 105Mc catamaran.The 8-to-1 beam, tear-drop shape enables the bow to slice through waves with minimal effort while still maintaining good load-carrying capability further aft. A low rocker design on the main hull also minimizes pitching, providing smoother, faster performance. The T2's outrigger hulls evolved from the original Telstar outrigger hulls, only wider and longer with a 15-to-1 beam-to-length ratio.The semi-circular outrigger hull shapes taper to wave-piercing bow and submersible transom to reduce drag.  The outrigger shape also provides excellent lifting force to keep the T2 close to the wind.
