About the MAXUS 22 (CB)

Also available with a daggerboard (pictured in drawing above). Max draft: 1.45m / 4.75ft

Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Jacek Daszkiewicz and built by Northman Shipyard (PL) starting in 2013, the Maxus 22 (CB) is a compact fractional sloop with a displacement of 2822.0 lb and a max draft of 4.1 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unspecified, owner reports highlight a strong aftermarket ecosystem with widespread adoption of North sails and Quick anchors.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend warriors seeking a lightweight, trailerable package with a beam of 8.14 ft for interior comfort, particularly those willing to manage specific structural maintenance issues.
Bluewater capability:
With a low capsize ratio of 2.31 and a displacement of 2822.0 lb, the Maxus 22 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a bluewater vessel, though some owners have installed watermakers and solar panels for extended offshore capability.
Comparables:
Comparable to other modern European trailer-sailers like the Beneteau First 21 or J/22, the Maxus 22 offers similar fractional sloop performance metrics (SA/D ratio 19.89) but distinguishes itself with a variable keel option and a capsize ratio of 2.31.
