About the MAXUS 24 (TWIN KEEL)
The Maxus 24 (Twin Keel) is a compact coastal cruiser designed by Jacek Daszkiewicz and built by Northman Shipyard (PL) starting in 2009. With a displacement of 4079.0 lb and a max draft of 3.81 ft, this fractional sloop offers a stable platform for shallow-water sailing, though the total number of hulls built remains unconfirmed in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruisers and weekend warriors who prioritize easy trailering and beaching capabilities due to its twin keel design and moderate beam of 8.37 ft. It also appeals to single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel with a comfort ratio of 15.57.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.1 and a displacement of 4079.0 lb, the Maxus 24 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater yacht, though its twin keel provides inherent stability and beaching safety for short offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other European-designed twin-keel cruisers from the late 2000s, such as the Beneteau First 23.7 or similar small-displacement fractional sloops, which share the focus on shallow draft and coastal agility. The Maxus 24 distinguishes itself with its specific Polish construction and Jacek Daszkiewicz's design philosophy.
