Comparison table
| Category | Maxi 77 | Comfort 30 |
|---|---|---|
| Length overall | 7.7 m | 9.1 m |
| Beam | 2.5 m | 2.8 m |
| L/B | 3.08 | 3.25 |
| Production years | 1972-1983 | 1972-1980 |
| Overview | On the live Maxi 77 card the overview already names **Pelle Petterson** and years **1972-1983**, but it writes beam **2.4 m** and displacement about **1 700 kg**, while the design-history block suddenly credits the hull lines to **Arvid Laurin**. | The class rules of 2003 call the Comfort 30 a one-design boat in glassfibre. One-design here means the rules hold the character of the boat as one, not that every hull left a single yard. By those rules the Albinsson brothers designed her in 1969. |
| Typical issues | Live overview **2.4 / 1 700** and history **Laurin** close against the sheet **Petterson / 2.50 / ~2 000 / LWL 6.75**. | The underwater shape on sailboatdata is not that of the later Comfort 32: a fin keel and a rudder on a skeg, a projection of the hull, not a separate blade. The rig is masthead. The stated sail area is 36.23 m². Lead 1,390 kg. Waterline 7.07 m. |
