… for the Max from your sailing!

Maxi Yachts

In this Section on Maxi Yachts, you can find general  information relating to specific models that Maxi have produced over the years.  Much of this has come from our members whose boats span virtually the whole range of Maxi’s ever produced.  Models include 33, 34, 77, 85, 95, 100, 130 ketch, 340, 909, 999, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1200, 38+
We spotted this very smart Maxi 68 sailing on the River Stour, just off Harwich.
Additional reference information on many Maxi’s can be found on www.maxisidorna.com

New Maxi 1300 exhibited at the  Boat Show, 23 -31 January 2010

We are very pleased that the new Najad/Maxi corporate structure is now beginning to take shape, with the latest Maxi 1300 taking pride of place on the Najad/Maxi stand in Dusseldorf.   The German dealer for Maxi, who also represents Grand Soleil and Najad, describes the 1300 as having “great ambience with a Scandanavian touch”.

Late last year, details of the new investment and corporate structure concerning Maxi Yachts as part of the Najad group were revealed in a Press Release.  The M-O-A Committee have already established contacts with the new majority investor in the Maxi Brand and look forward to an early meeting with the CEO of Animatrix Capital LLP.

Our 2008 AGM was another success, although the numbers who could actually make it to the Queen Inn at Dummer were less than last year.  Our Association is still growing but we really do need more volunteers to help us.

The Rally season has now started, and we had another very successful Nimbus Power/Maxi Sail joint event in Bembridge.  It was somewhat ironic that the date of this event was the same date when Maxi Yachts was formally sold by the Nimbus Group to Najad, forming a new Group to be known as Linnea.

We are pleased to be able to report that SD Marine will continue their long association with Maxi Yachts.   At present, details are fairly sketchy but SD Marine say

“Further to the announcement that Najad have acquired Maxi Yachts AB, and a new company has been formed Linnea Yacht Group bringing together Najad Yachts, Maxi Yachts and Aphrodite giving a broad range of models available. We at S. D. Marine Ltd will continue to be the Maxi Yachts contact in the UK, business as usual.”

MAXImalt.dk: A good site with useful technical information & links.  The web site is in Danish, but it is well worth browsing to search for information in English.  And if there are articles only in Danish which would be useful to others, then we may be able to arrange translation.
