Notes:

Some boats were sold as kits and did not have sail/hull numbers and may be out of order, re date or number.

Production Hull numbers start at 021 and finish at 216 in the UK

 

There appears to be a gap in numbering from after 216 in England to the start at 250 in America, where they finish at 260.

The new production of the 28 foot Telstar appears to start at 300, a number have now been completed.
