Neat, well built Swedish cruiser/racer with very roomy teak interior accommodating 6 berths. New UK Pentex main and genoa in 2008, new head, all plumbing replaced throughout the boat and extensive revarnishing in 2009, plus a new Garmin GPS/plotter ST30 speed/depth.  Has been used for light cruising and Tuesday night non spin racing. Volvo MD5B diesel saildrive in great shape. Very easily sailed as it is set up for a self tacking jib.

While rare in the US, The Maxi Fenix is one of Sweden’s most popular sailboats of its size, and this is #855 of 1300 built. Designed and built by the talented industrial designer Pelle Pettersen, who also designed the iconic Volvo P1800 car. This boat impresses with its intelligent construction, ease of service and practicality. A lot of boat for not much money.
