The CADET began as a collaboration between designer, Jack Holt, and E.W. Haylock, president of ‘Yachting World’ magazine as an inexpensive ‘youth’ trainer, just after the WWII.
Initially called YACHTING WORLD CADET.
The GANNET is a decked over version of an INTERNATIONAL 14 (Uffa Fox Mark IV), originally built of molded plywood by Fairey Marine, (FAIREY 14), imported to the US by George O’Day, who then had a fiberglass version built (by Marscot Plastics Inc. USA).
Sold primarily as a trainer for colleges, sailing clubs etc. (The first 30 built were sold to the US Naval Academy.)
Photographs of this boat were featured prominently in a number of American ‘learn to sail’ books in the mid-1960’s though the GANNET wasn’t a big seller compared to other O’Day models.
A fixed keel version called the MAVERICK was built for the Texas Corinthian Yacht Club as a trainer.
An entirely new TELSTAR model (2003). (An earlier TELSTAR 9M was also designed and built by Tony Smith until about 1980.)
This version is ‘foldable’ reducing the beam from 16.0’/4.8m to 8.5’/2.6 m) for road transport and easier mooring where space is restricted. The Double-hinged beams swivel the amas alongside the main hull without extending the boat’s overall length.
