The Maxi Association Rally

The Folly Jolly ~ 6th / 7th October

This rally is being hosted by Richard and Lorraine Sams and is the final opportunity this season to compare notes and swap stories of the seasons escapades.

The Folly Pontoon has been reserved for an early afternoon arrival.

The evening will start with pre dinner drinks and nibbles on the pontoon

followed by dinner in the Folly Inn at 8pm.

There will be the opportunity to indulge in the local culture of “table dancing” later in the evening for those brave enough.

To retain the use of the walk ashore pontoon we need to confirm numbers of boats and diners as soon as possible so your response by 01 October is appreciated to allow final preparations to be made.

The rally is less than 2 weeks away. So click on the link below to confirm your attendance.

We look forward to seeing you there

The Maxi Association Rally

Lymington ~ 22nd/23rd September

We will again be able to raft up together on the Dan Bran pontoon, connected to the shore by the sailing clubs.

The plan is to have drinks and nibbles on the pontoon at 18.30 followed by dinner at the

Mayflower at 20.00.

For those who may want to arrive earlier, the pontoon is usually available on the Friday evening but you will need to confirm that individually with the harbormaster

I hope that you are able to join us, if so, please mail me with your

boat name, length and the number in your party.

We will send out menus nearer the day.

Best regards

*Maxi Yachts Update*

 

Maxi Yachts has been acquired by Polish boat builder, Delphia Yachts.

 

These details have been published on the Delphia Yachts website:- 

 

Maxi Yachts has been always a synonymous with well-constructed vessels whose build quality has earned them great respect throughout the sailing world.

 

Most recently, the Maxi Yachts boatyard constructed 34-42 foot yachts, designed by world champion and Olympics medalist, Pelle Petterson. Since its establishment, the boatyard has released over 16 thousand vessels.

 

The core values of the Maxi brand are design, comfort and safety.

 

To own a Maxi yacht demonstrates one’s passion for the life at sea. The typical Maxi owner is a purist sailor seeking the perfect balance between the performance of a boat and the comfort it provides. The Maxi product range combines safety with build quality finished with an eye for the smallest detail. Experience in building yachts shines through in each craft’s functionality, ease of handling and uncompromising comfort for the crew, coupled with contemporary eye-catching Scandinavian styling.

 

Despite the unmistakable attention to detail and design, these vessels feature excellent nautical capabilities that have earned them loyal enthusiasts worldwide.

 

It is the firm opinion of Delphia Yachts Kot sp. j., that Maxi yachts deserves to continue to produce fine craft to allow future generations of sailors to forge their character onboard such excellent vessels.  Therefore, we regard the acquisition of Maxi Yachts as part of Delphia’s strategic development, going the extra mile to meet clients’ expectations, always seeking new solutions and continuously increasing our product range. The range currently features 10 sailboats, 3 house boats, and some 20 classic models of motorboats and speedboats. Maxi models complement the current Delphia lineup and therefore it is our intention to breathe new life into such beautiful and inspired designs.

 

Delphia Yachts is a constantly growing company, constantly seeking new challenges. We feel that acquiring Maxi Yachts presents a great challenge – one that takes preparation, investment and time to achieve the desired results. By acquiring Maxi, we are able to expand our dealership network and establish our leading position in a market inspired by such legends and icons of sailing style as Pelle Petterson.

 

All Maxi yachts will be produced at Delphia Yachts shipyard. At first Delphia plans to restart the production of existing models (Maxi 1300, Maxi 1060 and SM 40) and hopes for the future increase of Maxi Yachts fleet. The positioning of Maxi brand remains unchanged.

 

It is generally appreciated that yacht building is a highly complex process requiring specialized technical knowledge and skill.

 

At Delphia Yachts, we combine these attributes with experience, passion and advanced technology allowing us to create a superlative product which will be evident in the first models of Maxi Yachts to leave our production line.
