A late example of the extremely popular Swedish-built aft cockpit fast cruising yacht. Launched in 1999 and boasting a very high spec including wheel steering, single-line reefing with stackpack & lazyjacks, self-tacking jib plus genoa and jib tracks, electric anchor windlass, heating, and radar/plotter. In essence, the perfect coastal cruising yacht.

INTREPID has been a super boat to own & sail. She is very light to handle and very responsive, well built (as is the model's reputation) but safe, which was a key requirement as she was bought as a family boat, and our first boat.

With a third reef she has been out in a Force 8, with no concerns whatsoever. INTREPID is also a delight to manoeuvre under engine. As acknowledged by numerous reviews the Maxi 1000 experiences minimal prop walk and goes astern incredibly easily.  

INTREPID is being sold with much regret. She has been very lightly used as we haven't been able to find the time to do her justice i.e. we have only sailed her once in the last 24 months. She deserves better and i have no doubt she give her future owner/owners hours of safe but exhilarating enjoyment, as she did us, when we were actually able to sail her".

When we launched the Maxi 1000, we said that we had designed her to be sailed with pleasure. This proved to be very apt as since then the Maxi 1000 has won many races and made both crews and owners very happy.

She owes her winning qualities first and foremost to a combination of long, sleek limes, generous rig and relatively low weight.

Below deck, the Maxi 1000 has many winning qualities. The elegant woodwork in teak gives the saloon, galley and cabins a warm feeling. Sleeping accommodation for 6 (7 including converting double in saloon) contributes still further to comfort, even on longer voyages.

Functional features such as the large cockpit and roomy bathing platform makes the Maxi 1000 a winner, even when not under sail.
