Maxi 95

The Maxi 95 is one of Northern Europe's most recognisable production sailboats. Designed by Lars Larsson for Maxi Yachts and built from 1974 to 1983, roughly 1,500–1,600 hulls left the yard — a high-liquidity Baltic entry cruiser that still defines Blocket turnover at nine metres. With 9.5 m LOA, 2.9 m beam, and about 4,200 kg displacement, the model suits couples and small families cruising the Baltic, Skagerrak, and North Sea. The Maxi 95 anchored Swedish mass-market GRP cruising before later Maxi 77, 84, and 999 shapes scaled beam and interior volume. Narrow beam and modest displacement keep marina fees in the sub-10 m band while offering enough cockpit and saloon space for archipelago weekends. Buyers cross-shop HR Monsun 31, early Malo shapes, and Albin Ballad listings when they want Scandinavian build quality without a premium yard badge. Pricing on Blocket reflects rigging invoices, portlight condition, and whether the hull shows fairing cracks at the keel stub — a recurring survey conversation on 1970s Maxi layup. Boats with documented winter cover and engine service command premiums over project listings that underestimate fuel-tank and wiring age. Nordic buyers should compare asking price against documented rigging, portlight rebedding, and mast-step inspection — cosmetic refreshes rarely replace deferred structural maintenance. Expect 62,000–172,000 kr annual baseline in Swedish marinas with realistic technical reserves. FairHelm tracks Maxi 95 listings because these hulls trade constantly on Blocket, Scanboat, and German brokerage sites. Buyers are rarely choosing between "good" and "bad" boats — they are choosing between documented maintenance and deferred work. A polished teak cockpit or new plotter does not cancel unknown rigging age, keel-bolt corrosion, or moisture at chainplates. That is why survey discipline matters more here than brand romance. For Nordic ownership, Maxi 95 works as a coastal weekender with occasional longer passages when equipped for cold-water sailing: reliable heating, solid ground tackle, and a realistic technical reserve beyond berth and insurance. Compare adjacent models in FairHelm's [model guides](/en/yachts/models/) and read survey notes before committing a deposit. The cheapest asking price on Blocket is rarely the cheapest boat to own over three seasons. When you shortlist a Maxi 95, build a simple survey scorecard: hull moisture at the keel stub, rigging age, fuel-tank condition, and portlight seals. Owner forums and yard quotes from Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Helsingør help you separate cosmetic refresh from structural deferral — especially on boats marketed as "ready to sail" without invoices.
