About the MAXUS 28 (CB)
Also available with a daggerboard. Max draft: 1.65m / 5.4ft
The Maxus 28 (CB) is a fractional sloop designed by Jacek Daszkiewicz and built by Northman Shipyard (PL) in 2010. With a displacement of 6614.0 lb and a beam of 9.58 ft, this vessel represents a specific, limited-production entry from the Polish market, with the exact number of hulls built remaining unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, moderately heavy displacement craft that balances comfort with ease of handling. Its fractional sloop rig and variable keel options make it suitable for those prioritizing straightforward sailing dynamics over extreme performance or heavy offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.04 and a comfort ratio of 18.07, the Maxus 28 is primarily suited for coastal and protected waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its moderate displacement of 6614.0 lb provides adequate stability for coastal cruising but lacks the heavy ballast and robust construction typically required for serious offshore voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 28 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 28.9, as they share similar length overall (30.97 ft) and target the same coastal cruising and entry-level cruising market. These vessels offer similar fractional sloop rigs and comparable beam-to-length ratios for stability and interior volume.
