- 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.

- ANTARES 42 AND 44i Trend-Line Analysis
This is MDI's Comparative Trend-Line Analysis of the ANTARES 42 & ANTARES 44i. In theTrend-Line Analysis the of the 42 & 44, both are compared to each other and graphed against the Catamaran Database Trend-Lines of Performance and Stability results of the 881 catamarans in our database. The specific Catamaran Database Trend Lines used for the Trend-Line Analysis are: Bruce Number (BN), Sail Area to Displacement ratio (SA/D), Base Speed (BSpd), Texel Rating (TR), Stability Speed (SSpd) and Kelsall Stability Index (KSI).
