Lyle Hess.
Yacht Teleisin sailing,she won the boat of the regatta at the TBA meeting when she was here in Cape Town.
The man passed away in July 2002,he was ninety years old (90)at the time,he left us a legacy of yachts and Teleisin is a good example of such a boat,we had the pleasure of meeting Lin and Larry Pardey and sharing a bottle of wine in their yachts saloon,I asked Larry to show me his large Luke anchor which is stowed beneath the floor boards,Lin told me the area below them was varnished as she dropped a can of varnish,so just spread it out and that was that!
The writing of Lin and Larry Pardey of their world travels aboard two Hess cutters, first SERAFFYN and now TELEISIN (above) helped bring fame to Hess's designs as capable cruisers. (photo by Bob Grieser
