BOOT 2015: A GLANCE AT THE NEW MAXI 1200

World premiere for the comfort-promising performance cruiser

“Leave your warm and safe marina behind and experience some adventure”. This is what the product brochure of the brand-new Maxi 1200 advises. “Sure, when?” is what you think when you enter the deck of the Pelle Petterson (hull) and Tony Costy (interior) design. Unfortunately, it is winter, and the boat is in one of the 17 halls of the boat show “boot” in wintry Germany. So, some anticipatory admiration must do for now.

And it’s really not hard to admire this boat: The performance cruiser comes along with a slim hull with chines, twin rudders and – almost self-evident in this class of boats – a foldable bathing platform. The prominent carbon bowsprit is fixed and highlights the long sporty lines of the Maxi 1200. In the cockpit, the central mainsail winch, which is electric even in the standard version, stands out and makes the new Polish production with Swedish roots suitable for short-handed crews and solo sailors.

Teak on deck (standard!) and on the bathing platform contributes to the yacht’s overall elegance that is continued in the stylish companionway doors and below deck. The interior design is modern yet classic and feels like home instantly. Creativity is the solution for the navigation area: A part of the back rest in the salon can be moved on rails and thus becomes the backrest for the navigator in front of his chart table. Smart!

The comfortable L-shaped galley at port side offers two refrigerators for navigation in warmer waters than those in Germany right now. All in all the brand-new Maxi 1200 is really promising. It’s hard to wait until the adventure on the water can begin…
