Built in 2017 but launched in 2018, 'Maxian' was UK based throughout her first ownership, sold to the current owner in 2023, she was transported to Spain in 2024 and based in Alicante. Recently transported back to the UK, she is UK VAT paid and available ashore in Lymington to view by appointment, please contact us for more information.
"She glided between zephyrs and with her pedigree she should comfortably plough through any weather at passage-pounding speed. Below, she's secure, luxurious, exceptionally well built and the basic spec is comprehensive. She's not cheap but you could sail a lifetime and never find quality to match."
