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.

The Aegis 18CC was quite an interesting find at the Miami boat show; this center console fishing boat is derived from the McKee Craft line of V-hull boats. Our senior editor Lenny Rudow took a quick ride on the Aegis and we shot this First Look video, to share his discovery with you. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/03/2014-aegis-18cc-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit http://www.boats.com.
