About the MAXI MIXER 35
Standard model featured a self tacking jib. A version called the Exclusive Competition was built with a flush deck and different keel design.
The Maxi Mixer 35 is a fractional sloop designed by Pelle Petterson and built by Maxi Yachts between 1981 and 1985, with a total production of 200 hulls. It features a displacement of 9921.0 lb and a beam of 10.66 ft, reflecting a design philosophy that balances performance with coastal cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize a responsive, fractional-rigged sloop layout over heavy bluewater displacement. Its moderate comfort ratio of 21.93 suggests it is ideal for those seeking a lively sailing experience in protected waters rather than heavy-weather ocean passage making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.99 and a displacement/length ratio of 204.16, the Mixer 35 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater passagemaker. Its fin keel and relatively light displacement suggest it is best kept to coastal and bay sailing, lacking the heavy ballast and robust construction typical of serious offshore yachts.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 35 and the O'Day 35, as they share similar length overall (34.6 ft) and fractional sloop rigs from the same era. These vessels offer similar coastal cruising capabilities and interior layouts, though the Mixer's lower displacement (9921.0 lb) makes it lighter and potentially faster in light winds.
