For archipelago passages, logistics matter: most larger marinas around Stockholm provide 16A shore power, diesel bunkering and provisioning within a roughly 10–20 nautical mile network, so route planning must account for fuel range, spare parts access and suitable stern-anchor or bow-to mooring options.

The Maxi range was penned by Swedish Olympic medallist Pelle Petterson, aiming for a balance between performance and cruising comfort. The Maxi 1000 became one of the firm’s best sellers, with roughly 1,000 hulls launched during its production run. It’s a true cruiser‑racer, with a 7/8 fractional rig and quality deck hardware that make short passages and island-hopping efficient.
Deck layout and sailing characteristics
Owners report a comfortable motion upwind—thanks to a deep forefoot—and minimal weather helm once the sail plan is trimmed. The generous sail area gives respectable performance in the lighter airs common in the archipelago, particularly when sailing under genoa. Two sets of tracks allow sheeting either inside the shrouds for a working jib or outside for a genoa, while the main traveller sits centrally within easy reach of the helm.
- Cockpit: deep locker to starboard, lazarettes to port and aft, transom steps to swim platform.
- መርከብ: wide side decks and a foredeck with space for a small inflatable dinghy; semi-open bow pulpit simplifies ladder fitting.
- መሪነት: most hulls are tiller-steered; wheel was an option on some boats.
Inside the Maxi 1000
Access is via wide companionway steps into an interior finished in a mix of solid teak and veneers. A practical L-shaped galley with twin sinks sits to port, with the navigation station forward-facing to starboard. Initial headroom of about 1.9 m/6 ft 3 in is generous in the saloon but reduces toward the forepeak.
The saloon offers a U-shaped settee converting to a double and a single settee opposite, with a central drop-leaf table. Storage is abundant—helpful for extended cruising. The aft cabin has comfortable headroom around the entrance and good berth dimensions; the forecabin is long but relatively narrow for dressing when the infill is in place. Heads are aft to starboard with a shower mixer and a wet locker draining to the bilge.
ግንባታ እና ስርዓቶች
The hull is solid GRP with a Divinycell-cored deck; the keel is bolt-on cast iron supported by transverse GRP beams. The mast is deck-stepped on a compression post. Owners should watch for the usual age-related items: teak deck condition where fitted, leaking cabin windows that need resealing, and the sacrificial anode on the ቮልቮ saildrive—which requires regular replacement to prevent leg corrosion.
Buying a Maxi 1000
Expect asking prices from roughly £36,000 for boats needing upgrades to about £64,000 for well-equipped, modernised examples. There are no widespread structural scandals attached to the design, but a pre-purchase survey should verify deck core, window seals and saildrive condition—especially if the boat has a teak deck or has been ashore infrequently.
Practicalities and pilotage for Scandinavian cruising
Pilotage around the Stockholm Archipelago rewards local knowledge. Supplement charts with Swedish Båtsportkort booklets; there are three volumes covering North, Central and South areas. A stern anchor is essential for traditional bow-to mooring; many skippers use full-length rode and a stern buoy or webbing reel with a snap hook for quick, reliable rigging.
- Carry hammer and bergskils (iron pegs) for temporary shore mooring points.
- Bring long mooring lines to reach rock cleats and distant bollards.
- Pack a long shore-power cable: connections are not always beside the berth.
For guidebooks, Stockholm Archipelago: The 50 Best Harbours በ Anders Hellberg, Kerstin Benckert እንዲሁም Gustaf Hannar (Brixham Books) remains invaluable and includes English pilotage notes. Sailors such as Phil Clandillon—who documents used-yacht finds on @immaculateyachts—and writers like David Harding provide useful perspective on practical seamanship and trailerable designs like the Bay Cruiser 26.
