Maxi 1200 boat test

• July 3, 2015

Swedish style from a Polish yard – this innovative new Maxi is designed by Pelle Petterson, and has some interesting new ideas for ease of handling and control, finds Pip Hare

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, comfort on display.

Allowing Tony Castro to work on the interior has indeed brought a whole new feel to this Maxi, moving away from the more traditional, darker, rather stodgy interiors to a re-energised and lighter space with comfort visibly on display.

Surprisingly, the feature that really blew me away was the heads, which is both generous in size and has a quality finish that is a far cry from shoehorning a plastic toilet into the minimum space possible. At first glance this cabin does not look as if it belongs in a boat; the wash basin is a full-size modern ceramic style and the shower, with wooden slatted seat dropped down over the heads, looks more like a sauna.

The L-shaped galley is neat and compact. It has two fridges – a top loader and a drawer fridge – as standard, a double sink and electric absorber that pops out from above the cooker. This is like an extractor fan, but does not vent to the outside, simply absorbs grease and odours through filters contained inside.

The whole area has room to work and to brace while at sea, though my feeling was there is not quite enough room for stowage. I wonder if I would end up using one of the fridges as a general stowage area if I was making a longer passage.

Both sleeping cabins were generous and light, with lockers and drawers fitted to the shape of the hull to maximise space. There were 12V sockets beside the berths for charging phones, and light switches that can be operated from the door or in bed.

The saloon is roomy and light, there is plenty of headroom and the starboard settee converts into quite a sturdy double berth without too much trouble. There are thoughtful little space-saving details everywhere, such as a wineglass rack in the centre of the table and a hinged seat back, which can create either a chart table pod or an L-shaped sofa. The whole of the interior feels as solid and high-quality as it looks, and under sail it was comfortable and secure below.

As is often the case where a designer has chosen to use the full beam of the boat to create space in the saloon, there is very little stowage behind seat backs. With space under the settees taken up with tanks, there seems to be a general lack of stowage.

The chart table was big enough, but not enormous and very comfortable to brace in while sailing. The main electrics panel contained a really nice touchscreen battery and tank monitor, which displayed a multitude of information in one small location. The test boat did not have a chartplotter mounted in this space, but there would be room to put one in.

Under power

The standard engine for the Maxi 1200 is a 28hp Volvo with a saildrive and two-bladed folding propeller. Our test boat had a 40hp with a Gori prop and the retractable bow thruster that comes as standard with every boat. Needless to say, under power it went whichever way you wanted it to go, but then just about any modern 40ft boat would with that much horsepower and a bow thruster.

The engine was quiet and the installation had good access for maintenance; the engine battery was also accessible. The bow thruster is neatly installed under the forward berth, though I struggle to understand why a 40ft boat that weighs only 6.9 tonnes should need one as standard.

All controls to hand for the helmsman

There are a lot of electrics on this boat, with the mainsheet winch, powered primary winches, two fridges, cooker hoods, bow thrusters and options for much more. All the batteries supplied with the boat are AGM, there is 330ah available for the house and separate batteries for bow thruster and engine. However, this could be a very power-hungry boat – fine if you are tied up to the dock every night, but on a longer passage at sea or hopping between quiet anchorages it might be worth investing in some alternative charging methods.

The might of the Delphia shipyard and its in-house manufacturing has allowed it to produce this boat for an impressive price. The standard boat package comes in at €178,000 (£127,000) and is incredibly comprehensive with a long list of goodies included. Delphia is offering an introductory package for the first ten boats at €190,000 (£135,600) to include heating, autopilot, chartplotter and windlass, among other things. If you were to throw in a furling gennaker, the whole lot would come in at just under €200,000 (£142,800).

What really struck me about the team from Delphia is that it already has a successful and enormous factory in Poland, but in acquiring the Maxi brand it set out to build a boat that would cater for an entirely different customer and has certainly not been half-hearted about it.

The goal with this boat was to tap into the Scandinavian-type cruising market and, to my mind, the Maxi 1200 has exceeded the objective. She has style and quality wrapped up into a Swedish space-saving package.

Maxi 1200: Love at First Sight

• February 11th, 2017
• Sailing Yacht

There it goes the saying: “It´s the boat that finds it´s owner, not the other way round.” Al lot of sailors I was talking to were reciting this saying as an answer to the question why they´ve bought their respective yachts. “I felt it in my belly …” or “it was just it!” are among these answers too. Same with me: The King´s Cruiser 33 was the third boat I inspected and from the first moment I saw her it was clear that she was the one. During Dusseldorf Boatshow I had full 10 days time of roaming all kinds of sailing yacht. But it was this one I instantly fell in love with: The Maxi 1200.

Maxi Yachts has a long standing tradition of making fast Scandinavian-style sailing yachts. Maxi now belongs to the Polish Delphia Group and is alive and kicking. A few boats in the line, but that doesn´t matter because this one yacht alone really touched my heart. Maxi Yachts, this name is inseparably connected with another huge name in naval architecture: Pelle Petterson. Yeah, it´s the very same Pelle who did the design of my King´s Cruiser 33 some 45 years ago!

This. Is. It: The perfect Cockpit Layout

At first I was just a bit curious what a modern Pelle-design would be looking like in present time. After all there is nearly half a century of experiences, changes in design aspects, the Fastnet 1979-turning point and new technologies between my King´s Cruiser and this Maxi 1200. In a way, this 12 meter long boat is the perfect demonstration material in this respect because we have the same designer and almost the same size of boats. As I said, at first, I was just curious. After I visited the boat for a couple of times and finally left the stand, I was completely in love with that boat. It really touched something inside of me.

Among a lot of other things, it was the Maxi 1200 where I really did understand what a “good cockpit layout” really means! No joke: Upon seeing the configuration and positioning myself behind the steering wheel I did have a flash of wit and suddenly understood what people mean when they are talking of “good” or “bad” cockpit layouts. Because in my eyes, the Maxi 1200 just has a perfect layout and cockpit configuration. First of all, the cockpit is both open and roomy but at the same time encapsuled with high coamings which makes it safe, especially when sailing with children . I was smiling because it reminded me of the Kings Cruiser´s cockpit as well.

Secondly, everything is within range of the helmsman here. Standing behind the twin wheels you can on the one hand have a great sight over the whole boat as well as everything under control. Except for the secondary roping like reefing lines and halyards and stuff, all ropes are within reach from the helmsman. This makes the Maxi 1200 an ideal yacht for single-handed sailing. What I like most is the clever positioning of the mainsheet winch.

This mainsheet winch has been placed by Pelle on top of the foldable cockpit table after a small block will divert the mainsheet here. Railguards will provide for safe working conditions whilst turning the cranks. In fact, it takes a step or two from the wheel to reach the mainsheet winch and be able to trim the main sail properly. The only fly in the ointment: No mainsheet traveller configuration for fine trimming the main is available here.

Another ingenious move is the positioning of the Genoa winches and the roping here. Right before the wheels, lines will be diverted to either side of the boat, running through a 4-slot jammer block and into a rope locker. Smooth and tidy cockpit whilst underway. Again, just a step or two to trim the jib or do the tack all alone. I had to return to this yacht three or four times, always spending minutes sitting here and there and in my mind doing all the maneuvers. This cockpit just is it. Period.

What I like most is the fact that by configurating the layout in this manner, Pelle achieved another remarkable point here: No lines whatsoever will be running around in the passenger´s area of the cockpit . The seats will be free of roping. No sitting of halyards anymore, no tripping hazard and no hassle in case of a sudden tack. With the Maxi 1200 configuration for the first time ever I found a yacht which I would put myself past doing a singlehanded trip with. This is a perfect cockpit layout in my eyes (except for the missing mainsheet traveller).

Maxi 1200 – a Dream Yacht fur sure

So, what else is there on the Maxi 1200? First, let´s walk around the hull. It´s a Scandinavian yacht, unmistakably. Sleek, fast hull from all angles. The Maxi 1200 has a hull length of 11.56 meters and a max beam of 3.75 m. That´s even more slender than my King´s Cruiser with a length of 10.24 meters and a max beam of 3.40. The deep T-bulb keel gives a max draft of 2.32 meters and the overall weight of the boat of just 7.300 kilograms of which some 2.500 kilograms is ballast makes it a truly racy performance-oriented configuration. This boat is going to be the hell of a fun!

Her lines are those of a performance cruiser, underlined by a deep T-shaped keel with a large lead bulb. I guess it not only looks fast but will perform beautifully: Maxi yachts are known performers and this Maxi 1200 will be no exception. The single rudder configuration, on the other hand do stand out particularly just as if Pelle would like to tell us that this boat is one of the classy ones – no twin rudder needed.

Taking a look at her stern and the transom, fine chines do stand out in stark contrast, just like the whole yachts seems like some kind of a bridge between the good old times of yachting and the modern way of making fast performance hulls. Just as the rest of the boat, especially the beautiful Teak decking, the whole yacht appears to be made with care and love for detail.

Interior Design of the Maxi 1200: Grandfather´s Genes

You know the story why I´ve finally bought the King´s Cruiser 33 ? It was my wife, upon entering the saloon, who took a look around, sat down on one of the settees, taking a deep breath like a gasp of relief, saying: “This is finally it!”. She is cozy, hospitable and embracing. Pelle Petterson has had a deep sense for both practical solutions and an eye for details. I was excited to see what a present-day Petterson yacht would look like inside.

Ah, look at this entryway! Here we have it again: A bridge between classy and modern design. I just simply love these folding doors, massive wood with those nice ventilation details. As I will have to refurbish my own entrance situation as well, I will take this as a role model and try to copy the style. Simply love it. Now, come on down below …

What a surprise! The saloon has almost the same measurements and configuration as the one in my KK33. Starboard side the main seating situation with a large L-settee, vis-à-vis a 3-seater. All of them situated around a large folding table which is built around the keel-stepped mast. I appreciate that Pelle Petterson apparently moved away from green cushion …

Ah, and look at this wooden bulkhead. It instantly reminded me of my SY OLIVIA. Lots of wooden surfaces in noble veneers. Combines with white roofing- and hull-panels and the modern fabric used for the cushion the whole saloon creates a both cozy yet welcoming and modern atmosphere. Of course there are new things incorporated too: A large head is situated at right the hand side next to the entryway and as a concession to modern times, no proper nav-station.

Which is a bit of a downer since I absolutely love the nav-station of my King´s Cruiser 33 and have nothing but a general disapproval for those smallish mini nav-stations in modern yachts. Even with old warhorse Pelle Petterson it appears that the good old times have finally come to an end in this respect. At least a small chart table with a (large!) switch- and gauge-panel has been installed here.

I absolutely love the details on the large folding dining table! Look at this craftsmanship! The details around the stepped mast are very nice. It´s both massive handcrafted quality combined with a simple yet functional construction. No bling-bling but a practical solution. I simply love it. The grandchild of the folding table in my own boat.

Another light bulb moment in the fore cabin : Here Pelle Petterson sticks to the old and proven concept of the large berths, no island beds or modern stuff, but a large reclining area. What made me smile was the stowage underneath the front end of the bed, which seems originally taken from my old boat as well. Nice.

What´s new of course are the large aft cabins. After IOR-rule was abandoned finally the rear ends of the yachts have grown considerably in size. Also a pleasant side effect of the chines, there´s plenty of space in the hulls now to accommodate large aft cabins. Something I can only dream of (when I am laying down to get a rest in my snug narrow quarter berth . The aft cabins of the Maxi 1200 are well-sized and can also be turned to single-berth cabins or stowage.

Why Pelle Petterson still kicks ass

All in all it was a defining moment for me to visit the Maxi 1200. First of all I finally understood what a good cockpit layout really means. All lines and winches for underway trimming of the sails are within an arm length of the helmsman, making the Maxi 1200 an ideal single-hand boat. Secondly I´ve had so many enlightening grasps of the boat´s interior and exterior looks which could easily and straight be drawn back to my 45 year old King´s Cruiser. It´s almost like a family reunion.

Craftsmanship, design and the whole outfitting of this yacht is excellent. It´s a shame that Maxi Yacht doesn´t get too many of their boats into the water as the unit numbers produced by Delphia in Poland are low. Nevertheless, I think a dedicated (family-) sailor who is seeking a safe, comfortable yet performing yacht will have made an excellent choice by going for Pelle Petterson´s Maxi 1200.

First impressions of the new Maxi 1200

A flying visit to the Dusseldorf Boat Show by Andy Horwood and Peter Sands

Having heard that the new Maxi 1200 was to be on display at the Dusseldorf Boat Show, Peter and I got talking about whether it was feasible to go out to the show and get a first look for ourselves. After a few drinks following the recent committee meeting, it seemed more and more of a good idea and before we knew it, flights and a hotel were booked for a ‘boys weekend’ away.

An early start on Saturday morning saw us at Heathrow for the 8 o’clock flight to Dusseldorf. Having taken off on time, we were looking forward to a full day at the show; it was then that the announcement came over that Dusseldorf airport had been closed due to snow and there would be a delay of around 45 minutes while they cleared the runway! After about 30 minutes the announcement came to prepare for landing and we began to look forward to the day ahead. No sooner had the wheels been lowered than the plane suddenly accelerated and climbed; more snow on the runway and a further delay. About another 30 minutes passed before it was announced that the runway was still closed and we were diverting the Hannover for more fuel! An hour or so on the ground at Hannover and it was announced that we were off, but as it was now snowing at Hannover the plane would have to be de-iced before take-off. After some rather alarming spraying with de-icer, we took off for the short flight to Dusseldorf. A final delay while they found some steps for the plane and we got off at last, only three hours late!  

  Having been slightly cautious about what the first boat from the new producers would be like, first impressions were very good – she definitely had the look of a MaxiJ. Mariusz provided us with a much needed drink (something budget airline Germanwings seemed less inclined to do) while he explained Delphia’s vision for Maxi being the premium brand within the company with a higher specification and level of finish and detail. Time to go on board and check for ourselves…

The cockpit is wide in the modern style, with plenty of teak giving a quality feel. Twin carbon wheels (standard apparently) give a sporty look. The mainsheet is fixed to a central pedestal moulding and is controlled by an electric two-way winch which can be operated from each wheel. There is no mainsheet track. Apparently this system has been used successfully on the Maxi 1300 (Pele Petterson has it on his own boat) but I need to be convinced that this gives sufficient control. Sheet winches are set just in front of the wheels to allow the helmsman to operate them if needed. There are a number of storage bins for sheets and halyards to keep the cockpit tidy.

Two good sized lockers under the cockpit sole beneath the helm position give plenty of storage for fenders, dinghy etc. There are a couple of quarter lockers, one of which is moulded to hold twin gas bottles. The show boat was a two cabin model (which is expected to be the most popular option) and as such has a large cockpit locker to starboard which could hold (and probably lose) as much gear as you might possibly need. All the lockers were nicely finished, although some stays or gas struts would be needed for safety and convenience.

The teak decks are standard (and look good) but standard non-slip can be specified with a saving in cost. Lines are led aft out of sight through concealed channels. There is a large anchor locker with an electric windlass and a carbon bowsprit is standard, as is a retractable bow thruster!

Down below there is a good size galley to port, with two(!) fridges, one of which slides out as a full height drawer. Twin sinks and reasonable storage complete the galley area. The aft cabin is accessed aft of the galley. This is not particularly large (not as big as on the 1100) and headroom above the bunk could be better. There is a shelved wardrobe but no hanging locker.

To starboard is the heads which appears well thought out with a trendy countertop wash basin forward and the toilet and shower aft which can be separated from the basin area to keep the area dry.

The saloon is traditionally laid out, with a straight berth to port and a ‘C’ shaped settee to starboard. Sharing the aft of the starboard settee is the aft facing navigation area which has an interesting dual purpose ‘reversible’ backrest. The navigation area is not huge and there was no chart plotter on the show boat, but I’m sure one could be fitted with a bit of re-arrangement of the switch panel and other instruments.

The central table has twin folding leaves with a central section with deep fiddles, but the port leaf obstructs the main way forward to the forecabin and needs re-thinking.

Storage within the saloon could be better. The space beneath the bunks is taken up by fuel and water tanks and the eye level lockers are shallow and do not provide much storage. I’m not sure there would be room for all the clutter that Sara and I have on Asante!

The forecabin is light and airy with an overhead hatch providing ventilation. The hull sides are finished in white ‘planked’ panelling with full length shelves running the length of the berth. There is good storage with a hanging locker and shelved locker and a large shelf under the berth with an interesting canvas cover.

Generally overall we were impressed with the new model. As ever with a new boat there are a number of things that need looking at, but the boat had a good ‘feel’ and should bode well for the future of the Maxi yachts brand. Maxi hope to appoint a new UK dealer shortly and with a bit of luck there will be a boat available for viewing in the UK this summer.

Having lost so much time due to the flight delay, we didn’t have a great deal of time to explore the rest of the show, but it is huge! You could easily spend a couple of days there and still not see it all. We returned wearily to our hotel close to the airport, but revived somewhat having refreshed ourselves with some of the local brew and a good meal. A fairly leisurely start next morning with breakfast at the airport saw us back at Heathrow by lunchtime. A tiring weekend, but a fun thing to do. The team at Delphia/Maxi made us very welcome and were pleased to hear our comments and ideas. Let’s hope the new boat is a success and will put the Maxi brand back on the scene in the UK.

History of Maxi

Maxi Yachts was founded in 1970 by Swedish engineer and sailor Pelle Petterson. The company's origins are deeply rooted in Sweden, where Petterson combined his prowess in yacht design and competitive sailing to create high-quality, performance-oriented sailing yachts. Initially, Maxi Yachts gained a reputation for producing innovative and durable boats, which quickly became favourites among sailing enthusiasts for their ease of handling and robust construction.The early years of Maxi Yachts were marked by significant successes and expansions, with iconic models like the Maxi 77 and Maxi 95 defining the brand's commitment to excellence. Pelle Petterson's designs focused on a blend of performance, comfort, and reliability, which helped establish Maxi Yachts as a prominent name in the sailing community. The company's dedication to quality craftsmanship ensured that their boats were not only competitive on the racecourse but also highly sought after by cruising sailors.Today, Maxi Yachts remains a respected name in the world of sailing, though it's worth noting that the company has undergone various ownership and management changes over the years. The production of Maxi Yachts has shifted from its original base in Sweden, and the brand is now under the umbrella of the Swedish company Najad AB, which acquired Maxi Yachts in 2012. The production facilities and operations are integrated with Najad's resources, allowing Maxi Yachts to continue its tradition of creating exceptional sailing vessels while benefiting from shared expertise and advanced manufacturing technologies.

Black Jack 100 breaks Palermo-Montecarlo record, secures victory for Yacht Club de Monaco

Posted by Jack Brodie, Editor-in-Chief | Aug 23, 2024 | Sport

After nine years, the Palermo-Montecarlo record has finally been broken. The new record was set by the maxi yacht Black Jack 100, helmed by Yacht Club de Monaco member Tristan Le Brun, who completed the 500-nautical-mile journey from Palermo, Sicily, to Monaco in 1 day, 20 hours, 34 minutes, and 22 seconds. This achievement shatters the previous record set in 2015 by Esimit Europa 2, which is in fact the former name of Black Jack 100.

The Palermo-Montecarlo race, organised by the Circolo della Vela Sicilia in collaboration with the Yacht Club de Monaco and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, saw participation from around 50 international teams this year, including notable entries like Andrea Statari’s Comet 45s Gorilla Gang XL and Paul Basson’s Swan46 Foreign Affair, both representing the Yacht Club de Monaco.

The race began on Tuesday, August 20, under windy conditions that saw competitors racing up the coasts of Sardinia and Corsica at full speed. The battle between Black Jack 100 and the American yacht Lucky, helmed by Bryon Ehrhart, kept spectators on edge as the two crews sailed neck and neck for much of the race. Ultimately, Black Jack 100 pulled ahead midway through the course, securing a 44-minute lead by the finish.

This victory not only makes Black Jack 100 the real-time winner but also crowns it the new record holder of the Palermo-Montecarlo race. The crew will receive the Giuseppe Tasca D’Almerita Trophy for their achievement.
