The advert says Maxi 95. Praktiskt Båtägande, a text by Johannes Nordemar dated 3 January 2017, writes that in 1982-1983 they built almost the same boat as the Maxi 100: with a window in front of the cockpit and a bathing platform. The name, the magazine says, hints at an extra half metre. There was also a Maxi 100 PS, with a cabin over the cockpit. The magazine gives about 25 of those and refers to Kurt Gelin's book "500 segelbåtar". We did not open the book. That is why the count drifts as well. A minimum of 1,300, if the special models up to 1983 are in the count. Some sources print 1,600. Sailguide writes "about 1,600" and that the Maxi 100 was introduced in 1982 as the successor. We do not put one series number here.
This page is for someone reading a Maxi 95 advert who has not yet checked the name on the transom: 95, 100, or 100 PS. On the live chips the length is now 9.5 m and the years 1974-1983, and that is closer to the cards. We do not put the 2.9 m beam and a displacement of about 4,200 kg from the live opening here. Lars Larsson does not appear in Sailguide, sailboatdata, or the magazine.

Design history
On the yard list at sailboatdata, Maxi 100 stands on its own line at 10.50 m, first year 1983. We did not open that line's page. The magazine describes almost the same boat; the card file prints another length. Until the name is read on the hull, this is not one model.
The designer in these sources is one person: Pelle Petterson. His name here is from Sailguide, sailboatdata, and the magazine, not from the Comfort 30 card. The length 9.50 m agrees. The beam does not: the magazine and Sailguide 3.16 m, sailboatdata 3.20 m, the owner page Ofelia 3.2 m. Weight: Sailguide 5,000 kg, sailboatdata 4,300 kg, Ofelia 4,100 kg, the magazine gives a band of 4,500-5,000 kg. Draught 1.55 m agrees at Sailguide, sailboatdata, and the magazine.
The years are not one set either. The magazine writes that the boat arrived in 1973, and in a box it puts 1973-1983 already together with the 100. Sailguide: introduced in 1974, built until 1982. sailboatdata: 1974-1983. Sailguide names the yard Erje Produkter in Mariestad and, in the header, Maxi Yachts. sailboatdata writes Maxi Yachts and Börjesson Brothers. This is not a story about three yards. The story is the name on the transom.
Typical problems
The magazine passes on the words of the Maxi association: the keel can be lead or iron. Iron was probably a cheapening in the last years. Lead in the magazine's boxes, on Ofelia, and on sailboatdata is 1,600 kg. Around 1977, from hull number 555, the Swedish maritime authority approved the boat. The sill into the saloon became higher, the plastic thicker, and earlier hulls sit slightly higher in the water. Both the magazine and Ofelia write that.
There is no side deck: the coachroof reaches the gunwale. That is how the magazine explains the volume. Early masts were black, made in-house, and later a Seldén mast stood there. The first mast support inside was weak and compressed. Shrouds glued into the deck can rust: rusty water from the bolts shows it, says surveyor Connie Zetterberg in the same text. The standard engines in the magazine's box are a Volvo Penta MD11C or an MD2B, not one engine. It stands under the table in the saloon, not under the cockpit. Sail area in the box is 48 m², sailboatdata states 37.35 m². Before a deposit, the same stakes as on the live checklist: moisture at the keel root, the age of the rigging, the mast step, the port seals, without a kronor table that has no source and without kronor "answers" in an FAQ treated as a FairHelm tariff.

Antifouling
Litres need waterline length and draft. This page only has length overall and beam, so litres are not calculated here.

Pre-purchase survey checklist
Before reading an advert as one Maxi 95, it is worth reading the name on the hull: 95, 100, or 100 PS. And do not add 1,300 to 1,600 and call that an average. Neighbouring pages on the site already exist: Maxi 77, Maxi 84, Maxi 999, and the comparisons Maxi 84 vs Hallberg-Rassy HR 38 and Maxi 77 vs Comfort 30, for the fork of length and yard, not for pasting Maxi 95 figures.
