Maxus 35: Redefining Sport Cruiser Expectations with Northman Shipyard

Northman Shipyard has been building yachts over 33 feet since 2007. The inaugural yacht in this category, the Maxus 33, debuted in 2007, marking the inception of a line that has since garnered acclaim within the sailing community. Following its introduction, the Maxus 33 underwent a comprehensive redesign in 2011, resulting in the rebranded Maxus 33.1RS. In a strategic departure from previous designs, Northman Shipyard recently unveiled its latest innovation, the Maxus 35, marking a significant advancement in the cruiser segment.

Distinguished by its distinctive features and cruiser identity, the Maxus 35 embodies a fusion of contemporary design elements and enduring functionality. Notable highlights include expansive interiors, illuminated cabin spaces, concealed rigging mechanisms, dual steering systems, and a sleek, modern hull profile, all of which contribute to its commanding presence on the water.

Designed by the D&S Yacht Design office, comprising Jacek Daszkiewicz and Krzysztof Smaga, the Maxus 35 exhibits a distinctive hull configuration characterized by a pronounced upturned aft section and an elevated bow. This unique design imparts a heightened freeboard, particularly prominent at the bow, accentuating the vessel’s overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the elevated cabin superstructure, extending forward with a continuous window strip reminiscent of a deck saloon yacht, further distinguishes the Maxus 35’s design language, albeit catering to individual tastes with its bold and assertive demeanor.

The Maxus 35 offers versatility in keel configurations, with options for long and short L-shape keels, as well as alternative chine keels facilitating dry berthing and land storage. Crafted meticulously by hand using GRP materials, the hulls and decks exemplify Northman Shipyard’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and enduring durability. The mast placement, featuring two spreaders and shrouds affixed directly to the hull exterior, contributes to the vessel’s balanced performance characteristics, with a focus on sail handling and maneuverability.

Despite its emphasis on sport cruising comfort, the Maxus 35 does not compromise on interior amenities, offering configurations with two or three cabins, complemented by a dedicated shower cabin in the two-cabin layout. The interior exudes modernity, bathed in natural light, evoking a sense of tranquility and sophistication. Equipped with a fully functional kitchenette boasting induction hob, refrigerator, sink, and ample storage provisions, the Maxus 35 caters to discerning sailors seeking personalized luxury experiences.

Maxus

the Polish shipbuilders have traditionally occupied a worthy place in the global yachting industry, which has only strengthened in recent decades. One of the discoveries 2000s become the brand Maxus , included in Northman .

company History

the history of the company began in 2000, when the Polish entrepreneur Krzysztof stepniak (Krzysztof Stepniak) founded the business of yacht Charter Ajoi and a small garage service, repair and installation of marine equipment. The profits from the business were invested in the creation of its own production. In 2012, the company was able to create a modern shipyard full cycle, called Northman. Line of sailing yachts is promoted under the brand Maxus. Now the company produces about 150 sailing and motor yachts a year.

Manufacturing

Workshops Northman Maxus located in the Polish town of węgorzewo . The production site occupies more than 5 thousand square meters and is divided into several isolated areas to ensure the quality of production of fiberglass hulls, interiors, installation, final Assembly and testing. Serial Maxus yachts are built according to the project team, led by the yacht architect Jacek Dashkevich (Jacek Daszkiewicz) . The shipyard also offers the option of building yachts according to individual projects. In the workshops, employs about 80 people.

Maxus specializiruetsya for fiberglass sailing yacht for family cruises and Amateur regattas in the size range of 21 to 33 feet. Yachts are produced in versions for inland waters and the open sea.

High quality yachts Maxus confirmed by the European certificate of CE and a number of prestigious international awards. For example, in 2016, >Maxus 26 was nominated for European Yacht of the Year in the category of "family boat". Confirmation of the excellent seaworthiness of these boats is unique >hike Shimon Kuchinsky (Szymon Kuczynski) >Maxus 22 , the smallest boat in history (for 2018) committed a single world without calling in ports.

the Main feature of the line boats Maxus is a good ratio of price to quality.

Made by modern technology in accordance with European standards, yachts Maxus are sold at affordable prices.

At the heart of the architecture lie the conservative, proven good seamanship decisions. The models revealed a trend to a relatively broad contours of the hull, especially aft. Most models are available in two versions: with a centerboard and a fixed keel. Younger models have the ability to trailer transportation.

To provide comfort special attention is paid to the exact ergonomics of the internal space, which, given the small size of the boats is of great importance.

Maxus 35 : New competitor in the ten-metre class tested

Michael Good

 ·  28.01.2024

Elegant? Well, yes! With its high freeboard and oddly shaped cabin superstructure, the design of the Maxus 35 is also visually polarising. Beautiful is different

Similar, but not the same: this is the competition

Maxus 35 with advantages and disadvantages below deck, the measured values for testing the maxus 35, the maxus 35 in detail, equipment and prices, yacht rating.

On show at Boot Düsseldorf in Hall 15, Stand B 40

Just under ten metres long and three and a half metres wide. Roughly speaking, these are the dimensions of boats that many sailors want - even those who would like to become one. Even beginners can cope well with the manageable size, a mooring is easier to find and, in addition to the purchase costs, the operating costs are also kept within limits. There is also a wide range of sizes on offer, from family cruisers with up to three cabins for weekends and holidays to elegant daysailers and sporty regatta boats.

Ten metres is also a format to which the large series manufacturers pay particular attention and always have done. In this attractive category of cruising boats, it is not just about high unit numbers, but above all about attracting new customers and those switching to the brand and retaining them for larger models. For the manufacturers, this means Building boats that meet the high demands of an accurately comparative clientele on the one hand and represent the typical brand values on the other. So it's no wonder that leading manufacturers such as Bavaria, Beneteau, Dufour, Hanse and Jeanneau are meeting demand with up-to-date and competitive models and revising their programmes at short intervals.

  • Bavaria Cruiser 34: The long-runner in the entry-level size in the test
  • Beneteau Oceanis 34.1: Cruising yacht bestseller with many faces
  • Dufour 37: Mock giant with the most space in her class
  • Hanse 348: New mid-range cruising yacht

And, of course, pricing plays an important role. The ten-metre class is exposed to fierce competition, which only the large and powerful series producers can face. Smaller manufacturers hardly dare to tackle the format - for good reasons. The exception is now the Northman shipyard in Poland, which is venturing into the competitive market with a new Maxus 35. In return, it can look forward to coveted support; the new boat has been nominated for European Yacht of the Year 2024.

The design comes from the D&S Yacht Design office (Jacek Daszkiewicz and Krzysztof Smaga), which has previously worked for Northman Shipyard, including on their motorboat programme. A striking feature of the Maxus 35 is the rather hard upturned hull in the aft section and the raised bow. Overall, the freeboard is significantly higher at the front than at the rear over the entire length of the hull, which characterises the appearance. The design of the high cabin superstructure, which is pulled far forward and has a continuous window strip in the style of a deck saloon yacht, is also unique. The new Maxus 35 is striking, not elegant, a matter of taste.

Production method and rig structure

L-keels with a draught of 1.95 metres and 1.50 metres are available for the boat, and the shipyard can also offer two chine keels as an alternative, with the option of falling dry and easy parking on land. At Northman, the decks and hulls are built by hand from GRP. The hull is a full laminate, the deck a sandwich construction with a foam core.

The rig is supplied by the French company Sparcraft. The mast with two spreaders and the shrouds connected directly to the outside of the hull is quite far forward in comparison. This means that the J dimension, i.e. the distance from the forestay jib to the mast, remains relatively short. Although a self-tacking jib is offered by the shipyard as an option, it makes little sense in this case because the sail area would be very small. The standard is therefore a genoa with an overlap of around 106 per cent, with a hollow point on deck to the side of the cabin superstructure. But even in this case, the size of the headsail remains rather modest with a share of only 41 per cent of the total sail area on the wind. The sail carrying capacity is 4.1, making the Maxus 35 a pure cruising boat without great performance potential.

The boat is noticeably under-rigged in light winds

During the YACHT test off La Rochelle in western France, the boat struggled to get going quickly in the initially light wind. The boat initially appears sluggish downwind and noticeably under-rigged. A rollable Code Zero would be a good choice for use on inland waterways where there is little wind. However, the Maxus 35 is already equipped with a fairly long bow nose with a water stay, to which a gennaker can also be attached.

However, with increasing wind in the YACHT test, the Maxus 35 still gets moving well. At ten knots, the Polish yacht is already travelling quite well, logging 5.5 knots at an angle of 45 degrees to the true wind direction. For a pure touring boat with no sporting ambitions, the performance values are well within the appropriate range. However, it should be mentioned that the test boat has been upgraded with better, dimensionally stable sails made of laminated material, which should have provided a performance boost. As standard, the Maxus 35 is supplied with a simple Dacron upwind wardrobe.

With more heel, the underwater appendages also provide a light, pleasant rudder pressure, making it easy to steer the yacht optimally on the windward edge. The high-quality steering system from Jefa operates the quadrant of the single rudder from both steering columns with a continuous cable. Although this does not provide redundancy, the entire steering mechanism is easily accessible through a flap in the cockpit floor, making it easier to rectify a fault in an emergency. A very good and well thought-out installation.

Active trimming possible

The mainsheet is run via a sheet triangle in front of the companionway, a very simple and equally good solution because the main boom can be trimmed to the centre of the ship without much sheet pull. As with the test boat, the mainsheet can be split and deflected back into the cockpit on both sides via the mast foot (German Cupper System). In this case, the shipyard installs a second pair of secondary winches on the aft cockpit coaming so that the helmsman can reach the mainsheet directly on both sides. This arrangement is only available as an option and is recommended for sailors who like to trim actively or who often sail single-handed. In the standard version, the mainsheet is operated via the halyard winches on the roof to the side of the companionway.

Incidentally, the equipment is of a pleasingly high quality and very generously dimensioned right from the start. Northman only installs fittings from premium manufacturer Harken on its 35s in the Maxus line. The self-tailing 40 mm winches are large enough to handle the load of the sheets without any problems, even without electric drives, which are available as an option.

All boats in the competition in the ten-metre class have the two or three-cabin layout in common. There is also a toilet room and galley. The Maxus 35 is no exception to the competition in terms of its general layout. What sets it apart, however, is the wide technical channel between the aft cabins and the forecastle.

The central area in the extension of the engine room is ideal for additional technical installations. The diesel tank and the mechanics of the control system are also installed there. The disadvantage: the width of the berth in the aft cabin is greatly reduced. At shoulder height, the berth is just 1.17 metres wide, which is clearly too narrow for two adults. This means that only one person can sleep comfortably in the aft cabin. On the other hand, the forward berth offers plenty of space for double occupancy, even if the berth is built very far into the bow and is just 36 centimetres wide at the feet. However, the length of the sunbathing area of 2.10 metres puts this into perspective. An adult can also sleep comfortably on the port side in the saloon. The sofa on the opposite side is slightly shorter, but can still be used as a bunk for a child.

In the standard twin-cabin, the already very generously planned wet room aft is extended by a separate shower compartment. In addition, you can reach the large locker in the bathroom through a watertight hatch. If the boat is equipped with a total of three cabins, both the large aft storage space and the separate shower compartment are of course omitted.

The fit-out standard is better than average

The interior components not only look very robust, but are also well and harmoniously installed. This includes the fact that the cut edges of all wooden parts are beautifully sanded and additionally sealed. The technical elements on board for the power and water circuits are also perfectly and clearly installed and are also very easy to access. All in all, the Maxus 35 surprises with an exemplary, solid and high-quality finish and even outperforms its competitors from the larger product series in this respect.

Nevertheless, there is also criticism. For example, the companionway is very narrow and steep and therefore difficult to walk on. This is mainly because the sliding hatch can only be opened to a limited extent. Anyone going in and out here has to be able to bend over and put their head down. The ventilation options in the boat could also be better. In the saloon in particular, the only options are the hatch in the deck and the companionway.

Maxus 35 is priced in the mid-range

With a base price of around 160,000 euros, the Maxus 35 is positioned roughly in the middle of the price range within the competitive environment. A fair price considering the good, high-quality and also quite extensive basic equipment from the shipyard. By the way: The flagship of the Northman shipyard is available under the name Maxus 34 in a greatly reduced version and for a basic price of just under 115,000 euros. In this version as a daysailer for inland waters, the boat comes without an engine, with a significantly simpler interior and reduced basic equipment. The 34 is also available as a centreboard or as a lifting keel with flexible draught.

With the new Maxus 35, Northman is positioning a boat that is a strong competitor for established brands and does not need to shy away from comparison. The boat will be on show as a novelty at the boot trade fair in Düsseldorf in January 2024. Anyone interested in the ten-metre class should definitely take a look at the Maxus there.

Maxus EVO 24

A weekender with a surprisingly roomy interior.

We don’t get too many boats to review from Poland but here is a new 24-footer from the Northman Shipyard. The designer is Jacek Daszkiewicz, who is part of an in-house design team at the yard that uses 3D modeling and CNC cutting for the tooling and production elements. This is a centerboard boat designed to be a fun sailer while offering some creature comforts below for a couple or two.

maxus yachts

 This is a beamy boat. The L/B is 2.89. Anything under 3 you can consider beamy. There is very little overhang, about 12 inches, and it’s all aft. The DWL of 23 feet gives us a D/L of 158. On small boats I usually include crew weight into the displacement but in this case I did not. The forefoot knuckle is very abrupt, the stem is dead plumb and there is no camber to the dead plumb transom. The stern is very wide and there is a chine aft. The topsides above the chine are very slab. This gives the hull a kind of boxy look but I like the look. The boat is self-righting with the centerboard up. There is 1,100 pounds of internal ballast in the hull and a single rudder.

There’s a small galley to starboard and a head to port. Forward of this are the settees and forward of that the V-berth. I like the fact that the designers gave some volume to the galley and head. Ergonomics do come into play when you start minimizing living components. There is a double berth aft of the companionway, but you must have to squeeze by the companionway ladder to access it. Note the large drop-leaf dining table mounted on the centerboard trunk.

The rig is typical of what we see today, fractional with swept spreaders. The SA/D is 19.54 and the mainsail is shown with a 16- inch-long headboard for an almost “fat head” look to the main. There’s a short, fixed bowsprit.

This is a very good looking little package. The deck styling is simple and effective. Someone at the yard has a very good eye. This would be a fun boat for a small family.

LOA 27’1”; LOD 24’1”; LWL 23’ Beam 8’4”; Draft retracted 1’ board down 4’5”; Displ. 4,300 lbs.; Ballast 1,100 lbs.; Sail area 323 sq. ft.; SA/D 19.54; D/L 158; L/B 2.89; Auxiliary 5- to 10-hp outboard

Maxus Yachts presents its brand new Maxus 26

maxus yachts

The first example of the Maxus 26 will be presented at the Nautic 2014 in its twin keel inboard engine version, specially developed for the French market, developed by the Catway/Northman tandem.

Chloé Torterat

This latest model from Maxus Yachts is an intermediate version between the Maxus 24 and the Maxus 28 . Built by the Northman shipyard , it is intended for owners who want a non-transportable sailboat and are looking for a comfortable and high-performance product. Moreover, it keeps a sufficient size and an accessible price.

An improved design

The Maxus 26 brings a change in the design of Maxus Yachts boats and gives birth to a new range. The Northman shipyard has made changes to the features common to all Maxus . The lines are tighter and more contemporary, especially the side portholes on the roof. This new boat will be equipped with better integrated stainless steel parts, a new type of hull-deck assembly integrating a discreet but effective footbrace all around the deck, an evolving bilge and a composite delphinium.

maxus yachts

A modular layout

Another new feature is that the Maxus 26 is available à la carte. Like the Maxus 24, it will be available in 4 appendage versions: twin keel , full dinghy , keelboat or lifting keel to adapt to all types of sailing and water conditions. 4 motorizations ( outboard on chair, Inbord Sail Drive, Inbord with shaft line or outboard in well), to correspond to the budgets of each one and 4 interior arrangements make it possible to meet the desires of the owners. The standard version is open plan and can accommodate 1 or 2 closed cabins as well as a classic or counter-molded bathroom to accommodate a shower. An independent design firm has designed the interior space.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

maxus yachts

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

maxus yachts

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

maxus yachts

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

maxus yachts

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

maxus yachts

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

maxus yachts

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

maxus yachts

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
