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.

We take the tension out of the Windlass for 3 main reasons. 1. To protect the windlass from the constant pressure to the bearings 2. To secure that the chain will not slip out because of to much tension 3. To avoid having annoying metallic noises during the night sleep For that reason we use the bridal and the stabber as I show you on that video

To avoid terrible sailing conditions, we made the bold choice to cross the notorious Sulu Sea from Malaysia to Palawan, stopping overnight on an island deep in the red zone!? Known for pirate activity and unpredictable weather, this quickly became one of our most intense and nerve-wracking passages yet. Let us know in the comments if you’d be up to undertake this sail... ;)

Hi, we're Josh and Tamara. In March 2021 we decided that we wanted to learn a new skill. So, we purchased a 2000 MacGregor 26X and thought... well let’s try out sailing! We outfitted and refurbished it for 2.5 months while we very impatiently waited for the weather to warm up so we could splash and start learning how to sail. I know what many of you are thinking. So, you just decided to purchase a sail boat, and you’re going to just figure it out as you go? Well yes and no. We had crewed on many of our friends’ boats however, we were never the captains. But for those of you who know us well know that this is what we do. We jump all in and figure it out as we go! Needless to say, we spent 65 nights on our Mac sailing Lake Okanagan, BC (135km long and 5km wide) from Vernon to Penticton and everywhere in between... many times over. We soon discovered that we wanted to do this full time. We were so exhilarated by living on the water and the overwhelming adrenaline rush you got from just wind power. So, as they say, I thing we need a bigger boat...and a much larger lake! We would like to introduce you to our new home. A 2001 Hunter 460 that we purchased in Hilton Head, SC. We moved aboard Honu Time in March of 2022. Please join us every Friday as we navigate through this new adventure of boat life!
