About the MAXI 1100
Reported SA = main + 105% jib
Designed by Pelle Petterson and built by Maxi Yachts (SWE) from 1999–2005, the Maxi 1100 is a performance-oriented coastal cruiser known for its fractional sloop rig and responsive handling. While specific hull production numbers are not definitively recorded in the source data, the model represents a significant era of Scandinavian yacht design focused on combining racing pedigree with cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for active coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and ease of handling over heavy bluewater displacement. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it an excellent choice for those who enjoy frequent sailing in protected waters and coastal passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 13448.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.02, the Maxi 1100 is capable of coastal and nearshore passages but is generally considered less suited for heavy offshore bluewater cruising compared to heavier displacement designs due to its lighter build and performance-oriented hull form.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 36 and the Hallberg-Rassy 362, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, beamy hull forms, and a focus on performance cruising from the late 1990s to early 2000s. These vessels offer similar interior volumes and sailing characteristics, appealing to buyers seeking a balance between speed and comfort.
