82 Maxi Fenix

• Add to quote

My wife and I purchased a 28ft Maxi Fenix this past summer. We live in Bremerton, Washington, which is across Puget Sound form Seattle. Although I have heard of Maxis before, this is the first that I have seen. It is a quality Swedish boat that sails very well. I would love to hear from someone who owns one. There is a lot of info on the internet about the boat. However, like the owners manual, it is all in Swedish.(Greek to me)  

Your Pelle Peterson boat Hello 6 years have past since your Maxi Fenix post, hoping your still around. Do you still have your Fenix and what do you think of her? I've been property shopping in the Bremerton area and being out there again renewed the sailing bug. I very much enjoyed a Maxi 77, years ago, in Savannah Ga and have been thinking the Fenix, Maxi 84 or 87 would be perfect for and old part-timer. The only Maxi's I can find, other than Europe, are on the east coast. I'm keeping the fingers crossed. Hopefully you are still sailing. they won't let me post a link, I'm too new, so add some w's to this (w.maxiowners.org.uk/index1.html) Ewball

ewball, plenty of clubs here in PS to ask around and see if one of these is for sale etc, if that is the boat you would like. Welcome to SN and PS sailing when you get moved here. Lots of sailing to do, races some where pretty much 52 weekends a yr. well, maybe 45-50, but there is a race somewhere during a lot of the weekends, 8-9 months of the yr week night racing. A good sailing community around here. Any way, off to final weekend race for my YC, then we start again in jan. marty

hmmmm, re the semi-intellligent question(s)..........hmmmmmm............. Considering some of the folks on here, and their questions...........hmmmmmmm............... I'm still trying to figure out an intelligent one, much less semi, much less non.............hmmmmmm........ Actually, it is probably better to ask, even if it seems a bit dumb. Because if you do not know the answer, it is not a dumb question. So Fire away! I believe there are two clubs minimum in the Bremerton area, Port Orchard and Bremerton. I would also not be suprised if the Navy does not have something with in the base if you have a military back ground. I can not off the top of my head remember what areas are north. Now that I am typing, WSSC is coming to my brain, "Wast Sound Sailing Club"?!?!?! they sponsor a few races out of that area. There is also Port Madison at the north end of Bainbridge, Port Ludlow and Brownsvill a bit farther north with YC's too. marty  

This thread is pretty old but the only one I found when i looked for anything related to Maxi Fenix. I just bought one from 1984 and was interested to find other owners...  

6 years on, I too have bought a Maxi Fenix and looking for other owners. ...  

I had to look them up to see what one looks like. They're nice looking boats.  

Attachments

That's the one! Handles well... like the OP said, everything is in Swedish...  

Very disappointed to click this thread and see that it's not about an 82 foot sailboat but a 1982 one.... :frown  

I have owned a maxi fenix for five years here on Vancouver Island. She is based at the Maple Bay Yacht Club and has been a wonderful boat. Unfortunately, due to health situation, she must be sold. Anyone interested?  

DO you have it listed ,or some pics?...Ralph  

Ralph, I haven't listed it yet. I'll get some pics off to you later today or tomorrow. Tel:778 356 0883. Neil  

Ralph, I haven't listed it yet. I"ll send some pics, will probably take until tomorrow. My tel. is 778 356 0883. Neil

Maxi Fenix sailboat with an updated Volvo Penta 13hp inboard motor for 10500 euro only!

Friends! Today we have a very cool Maxi Fenix sailboat with an updated Volvo Penta 13hp inboard motor for 10500 euro only!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.5 meters Width: 2.85 meters Draft: 1.5 meters Berths: 6 Toilet: available Kitchen (galley): available

The motor was replaced in 2015 and was first used in 2016. Total haulage is several hundreds of hours which is quite few.

Plastic and wood are in good condition.

A full set of sails, a jib furler. The jib itself is automatic. The sails are in very good condition.

There’s a swim platform (it is very comfy and hip — the statement is based on my personal experience), an Autohelm ST 1000 autopilot, gas lines were updated, the gas oven is new. There’s also an anchor with a 50 meters anchor rope, mooring equipment, etc.

In the stern you can see a huge (just enormous!) bed. The kitchen is organized not in the corner but along all the left portside which is quite comfortable.

This sailboat is more like an apartment than like the common sailboats. It’s very cool for living 🙂

Review of Maxi Fenix 8.5

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with 80.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.50 - 1.60 meter (4.92 - 5.22 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Maxi Fenix 8.5 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD5 diesel engine at 7 hp (5 kW). Calculated max speed is about 3.9 knots

The transmission is a saildrive.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 65.0 liters (17 US gallons, 14 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Maxi Fenix 8.5 is 2.04, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.6 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Maxi Fenix 8.5 is about 141 kg/cm, alternatively 791 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 141 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 791 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 24m 2 (258 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
