Great boat Alex, It’s in great shape and what seems to be a lot of little repairs will go quickly with your skills. Best wishes, Rob

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you Rob! I really appreciate it and I’m sure it will!

[@joewilliams5396]

Excellent tour thanks for showing us, I'm sure it will be made very comfortable by yourself.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Indeed it will!!!

[@dcallan812]

Nice little boat, a few minor things to upgrade - clean interested to see you fold it up and trailer it. 👍👍

[@AlexGoesSailing]

You will see very soon! I’m excited for it too!

[@christophergillingham7599]

You have picked a winner, a great project and one that will give you some marvellous sailing adventures

[@AlexGoesSailing]

I agree!!!! 😁

[@rickylantz]

My friend just sold his Telstar. We miss it greatly. It was so fast and versatile. So glad yours is so pristine and you’re enjoying it! Safe sailing!

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you! I really love the design and I can’t wait to sail it some more!

[@jeffweston7465]

Thanks Alex Great boat and i am sure you will fix her up in no time Look forward to seeing the projects. 👍👍

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thanks Jeff! First project will be to get it on a trailer and to get the mast down so I can get her home! Very tricky boat to move on a trailer that’s not made for it!

[@jeffweston7465]

I am sure you will get it all done👍👍 @@AlexGoesSailing

[@gatecrasher1970]

nice boat like the design features like the sliding sides and nav station , batteries small but when you do the electrics that be a good video if you need any help at any time let me know

[@AlexGoesSailing]

I really like it! I have done the first stage of the electrics but there will be a little more to come. You will see very soon!

[@robertscholz4486]

I like the new boat! It has a ton of potential ... i can't wait to see how you fix her up in the off season!!!

[@AlexGoesSailing]

So many boat projects to get done but it will be so good to get it done!

[@markthomasson5077]

Sure you know this. But always tie your chain back to the cleat. Then take the load on a snubbing line. If you leave her on a mooring, also take a back up chain to the mooring.

[@driftwood1906]

Good tour. Its well packaged for a trailer sailor size.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

That’s why I couldn’t resist!

[@odc43054]

Congratulations on the new boat.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@markthomasson5077]

Great boat. If you are altering the interior, i would not bother with the navigation station, or at least the chart table. That’s what an iPad is for. You will use that area for cooking preparation. Now what you are missing is a wet locker next to the companion way, which could take up half the unused chart table. Fix a waterproof curtain between a wet area, cooking, navigation, wet locker, and the sitting/ sleeping area. And of course you will need heating. If you are stuck for a week waiting out gales, the whole boat can become damp and miserable.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

There will be a few upgrades to the interior! I agree that in the winter it will need some form of heating!

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

I would close up the thru hole for the marine head and install a compact "DIY" composting toilet. For no more use than it will see it will be better in the long run. 🤗 ⛵

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Yeah I’m definitely considering that!

[@leefromsvpatchamie8607]

A few odd jobs to do, but we'll worth it. That's a really nice boat you got there 😀

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thanks Lee! Will crack on with the hard graft!

[@sailingona]

Looks good 👍

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Cheers!

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Im looking forward to seeing her come out the water. There is a Telstar 26 in Christchurch, people have been bailing rain water out if it for a few weeks to stop it sinking, i have neen told the owner has abandoned it completely 🙈

[@AlexGoesSailing]

I know of that one actually. I think I know the person that will save it!

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@@AlexGoesSailing I was thinking about it too, if it's cheap enough. I know the owners first name and might know him by sight but nothing more..... The local harbour patrol are getting fed up with bailing it out at least once a week, it's been F8 today too, so they haven't been out to it today....

[@AlexGoesSailing]

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating I’m tempted to save it myself!

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@@AlexGoesSailing I have been talking about you with Ben who has been bailing it out, I didn't know you knew him 🙈

I have a Mk3 iHrondelle cat, but I'm quite jealous of tihs!

[@mikeholt7881]

What did you pay? I'm guessing 20k+

[@AlexGoesSailing]

@@mikeholt7881 half that 😉

Hi Alex ! Nice boat that you bought...love it! Sailing a small english sailing vessel as a monohull: Halcyon 23. Cause of speed and making dintances a little bit faster/shorter (and sailing one-handed) i am just looking for a foldable trimaran. May i ask, how much you have to pay for a boat like this?! i am sailing in the Netherlands mostly...but was in Lowestoft, Harwich and Ipswich this year with some felows.It was a very nice trip...but sailing from NL to UK lasts a litle too long...Thanks for your feedback. PN me please - if you wanne be discrete...:) Best regards from Germany, Linus

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you and that’s really cool. I got this one for a bargain but this boat typically goes for £60kish. Only really in America but that just what it is. Might sell at the end of next year.

[@linusadventuresandtravels]

@@AlexGoesSailing : Thanks for your quick reply...appreciate it! I wiill be over to UK next year 1-2 times...perhaps we gonna meet in any harbour...for an evening-pint?! Best regards and fair winds, Linus

[@AlexGoesSailing]

@@linusadventuresandtravels yes we should. Send a message on instagram if you do!

[@linusadventuresandtravels]

@@AlexGoesSailing: i am not no/at Instagram but at FB and YT-sorry! Best regards, Linus

[@Babbelbob1]

Can you dock her in a slip with the hulls retracted?

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Yes I can 😎

[@Babbelbob1]

Awesome! Let me know if you ever take her to the Netherlands.@@AlexGoesSailing

[@AlexGoesSailing]

@@Babbelbob1 I’m very tempted to!
