What this video covers

The Maxi Yachts 95, a Swedish production boat designed in 1973 and built through the mid-1980s, is described as the world's largest 31-footer — a reputation built on generous interior volume rather than speed.Watch The boat's standout features include an aft cabin with berths accessed through a cockpit hatch, a large saloon, a proper head, and a standard-fit cockpit table with wheel steering, which was unusual for its era.0:37 Prices on Finn.no range from 110,000 to 190,000 NOK for ready-to-sail examples; one owner pair, Gunnar and Maxim in Asker, bought a project boat for 50,000 NOK and spent considerable time getting the engine running again.1:09 The most commonly reported defect among owners is water ingress through the windows, which leads to moisture damage in the interior woodwork.2:13 Inspectors should also check the engine carefully, examine the sails, and account for the boat's age of 40–50 years.1:47 Owners interviewed described strong attachment to the model, with several having owned multiple Maxi 95s.3:04 Window leaks are fixable but labour-intensive, and buyers should budget for that work on any example they consider.2:19
