3 sizes for all budgets
The Maxus are transportable. Available in 3 sizes 22, 24 and 26 feet (6.40, 7.35 and 7.60 m) these sailboats can be adapted to everyone's programs. Of course the Maxus 26 will have more living space than the Maxus 22. But both of them with their 2 double berths answer the same program: sailing from harbour to harbour, from creek to creek along the coast.
But one should not conclude too quickly that a Maxus is only good for sailing in protected waters. In 2019, a Maxus 22 sailed non-stop around the world via the 3 capes. The same route as the Vendée Globe! Certainly the navigation and the commitment are extreme, but they prove the seafaring side of these boats.
Modular sailboats to adapt to the program
Before planning to buy a Maxus, it is necessary to define its program. Indeed, this shipyard has the capacity to modulate the boats according to the wishes of its customers. For example, the boats can be partitioned or not. On the Maxus 26 for example, you can choose between a double cabin closed at the back, a double cabin closed at the front, or neither of these two partitions. It is true that on this size of boat, a completely open volume gives an impression of space for life on board.
Appendices to the map
Also for the program, Maxus offers up to 4 appendage solutions. Classically you can choose a fixed keel. In this configuration, you will have a very stiff boat, but the disadvantage is that it is not easily beached. For this, it would be better to choose the twin keel which offers a good compromise. The dinghy version is also welcome, especially to make it easier to put on a trailer. Unless a shallow draft as well as the stiffness of the canvas are important to you. In this case, you should opt for the lifting keel. Your choice!
Quality construction and finish
The quality of construction of the Maxus is no longer to be proven. The finish and the care taken in the realization of the boats make them very popular models even on the second hand market! Choosing a Maxus is investing in the long term.
