The Maxi 95 was designed to accommodate a family safely and comfortably and also to sail well, the design realised all three goals. Production started in 1972 and continued into the 1980s with incremental improvements occurring each year. Manufacturing was based on the west coast of Sweden and around Lake Vnern which lies 100 km north east from the city of Gothenburg (additional descriptions can be found in our translation of the original Owners Manual). As fibreglass was a new material for boat construction, the moldings were made much thicker (and stronger) than todays productions. Osmosis is rather unknown to most yachts from that era when extra catalyst was added for extra strength. This means that the 20 year old Maxi boats are still structurally strong and ready to continue. Engines and other accessories may wear out and need replacement but the hulls continue to serve well.

A productive day on the sailboat. The permanent solution to the bilge pump issue where I bypassed the old switch, and a temporary solution to the failed shore-power battery charger. I will have to work on the permanent battery charging solution. I need a flexible charger that works from plugged-in shore power, and the future solar array. Does anyone have any recommendations? Now it is Happy Hour in the sun of the cockpit with Cara. She is adjusting well to life on the boat. There are so many places for us to explore around the marina. She goes for walks and beach romps multiple times a day. But mostly, she is content to just hang out with us and bask in the sunlight. #sailboatrestoration #livingonasailboat
