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 servo is hooked up to the Arduino via pin 9. I've uploaded one of the example sketches you get with Arduino ISP called 'Servo Sweep'. The servo is powered by a 24 volt rough DC supply as you can see in the video. The 20mm steel boss was machined and bored out concentrically to 8.0 mm. A 5.0 mm hole was drilled in the side of the boss and tapped to take an M6 grub screw. The boss was welded into a piece of 1/8 inch steel plate to make the servo arm.
