About the Maxi 95

Built for serious offshore sailing adventures, this impressive yacht represents the larger end of the cruising sailboat spectrum. The Maxi 95 designation suggests a substantial vessel designed to handle extended passages with comfort and capability, making it particularly well-suited for ocean crossing and long-distance cruising. With limited technical specifications publicly available, the Maxi 95 appears to be part of a more exclusive segment of the sailing market. Boats of this caliber typically feature robust construction designed to withstand the demands of blue water sailing, along with spacious accommodations for extended time aboard. The size and designation indicate this yacht would excel in offshore conditions where stability, seaworthiness, and self-sufficiency become paramount. Prospective owners considering the Maxi 95 should expect a vessel capable of serious passage making, whether crossing oceans or exploring remote coastlines. The limited availability of detailed specifications suggests this may be either a custom or semi-custom design, or part of a smaller production run targeting experienced sailors seeking a premium offshore cruising platform. This yacht would appeal most to sailors planning ambitious voyages requiring proven seaworthiness and substantial onboard space.

Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 23.45
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 1.99
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.78
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
