TELSTAR 8M Custom Multihull Eval

This is Multihull Dynamics, Inc.s (MDI) Custom Multihull Review of the Telstar 8M. It features a comparison of the 8M with Trend-Line results of 129 trimarans in the MDI Database. In addition Cal Markwood, Engineering Analyst for MDI, has written a "Cal's Eval" for the Telstar 8M which narrows the comparisons further by evaluating this boatwith other boats intheMDI database that have similar specifications.

Affordable Cruising Multihull -Telstar 8M

We recently purchased a 1981 Telstar 8M, hull 253. We had no idea such wonderful multihull boats are available for very reasonable prices. Now I know reasonable prices for multihulls always seems to be double or triple the prices of a good coastal monohull, but the Telstar 26 and 8M are the affordable crusing multihulls.

Hull Cross Sections for Multihulls

Most multihull design books include a section about the pros and cons of various hull cross sections. They dont always agree with each other, and when that happens, it begs the question of why not. The intent of this piece is to shed a little light on that question.
