On the live Maxi 999 card the chips already keep years 1985-1991, LOA 9.9 m and beam 3.25 m, yet the overview writes beam 3.15 m and weight about 4,500 kg, and both overview and design history credit Judel & Vrolijk lines. Sheets name designer Pelle Petterson, beam about 3.23-3.25 m, displacement about 4,200 kg, LWL about 8.2 m. Live census 400-500 fights Sailguide about 800 and lab about 600 - order of magnitude, not a passport. While Judel and the light overview fight the chips and the plate, you are not yet reading a consistent 999.

The boat is a Swedish fractional fin-and-spade family Maxi from the Petterson era: draft about 1.7 m, ballast about 1,500 kg. Keep the chip years; drop Judel from overview and history. No entry price here. Do not rewrite maxi77 / maxi-108 in this pass.

Calculations and ratios

Brochure numbers need matching units. Open a FairHelm formula page for the classical form, rule of thumb, and limits before you compare listings.

All yacht formulas

Design history

On survey, read the keel root and joint moisture, spade rudder, standing-rigging age from invoices, engine service and galley/plumbing refits - the live checklist is already close.

Typical problems

Close live Judel and overview 3.15 / ~4,500 against the plate Petterson / ~3.23-3.25 / ~4,200 / LWL 8.2. Read census 400-500 vs ~600-800 as a source band, not a yard quote.

Annual ownership costs

Read annual SEK bands as a berth class near 9.9 m, not a yard offer. No entry price here.

Pre-purchase survey checklist

Nearby, five X and SNIPPET overrides ride in one push. Do not clone maxi77 / maxi-108 angles here: first fix Judel and weight to the 999 plate.
