Max Fun 35

They said it was impossible: a sailboat that is big and comfortable and still has the grandeur, the looks, the feeling and the speed.
The Max Fun 35 by Simonis Voogd Design defies the impossible. At almost eleven meters long, it effortlessly planes the water surface and moreover has everything you need to make longer trips a pleasant and comfortable experience as well. And why not?
You can choose to deprive yourself of a few luxuries, but why should you if you don't have to?
Real sailors want speed. They want a boat that allows them to plane the water and slice the waves. A boat that is energetic to sail. Where you have to prove who's the boss.

Simonis Voogd Design designed the Max Fun 35 for the sailor who wants to do more than just sail. One glance at her slender form is enough to tell you what you can expect from her performance: she's fast and easy to handle. She's made to perform and responds to the first hint of a breeze. The Max Fun 35 wants to fly. But you don't have to be a pilot to let her soar over the water. This boat is wild - but tameable.

The facts confirm your suspicions: the Max Fun 35 is one of a kind. She weighs 3000 kgs, and almost hlaf of this weight lies 2.15 metres underwater. So the Max Fun 35 is extremely light. Why?
Partly because the inner shell forms virually the whole interior and there's no added weight from built-in parts.
The mast of the Max Fun 35 is made of carbon. What makes a carbon mast better than an aluminium one is that it is much stiffer and lighter, so that less ballast is required. As an option you can have the boat fitted with a roller furling system. The trimming lines are simple and there are no running backstays.

The Max Fun 35 is not primarily intended to be a flat-out racing machine. Racing is an option, but not a must. Just look at the custom-made design interior. Although it has an austere design and only the basic furnishings, it provides enough space and comfort to accommodate six people for several days. Besides berths, you will find a toilet, a galley, a navigationdesk and a saloon table. Simple but functional. Ideal for the active sailor who can't live without the challenge of racing but wants to relax in style afterwards.
Most of the interior can be clicked into place, so are easy to remove prior to a race.

The Max Fun 35 - she may look like an exotic high-tech speed monster, but don't worry, you don't necessarily have to be a hotshot helmsman to sail her. Factors that play a role here: a very sharp bow that fans out above the water, a flat stern for planing and a narrow waterline to reduce drag as much as possible. Probably the most outstanding feature of this boat is that the ballast share is no less than 50 percent.

Because the Max Fun 35 is super lightweight, basically all the energy is directly converted into speed. Combine this with an extremely high sail capacity and you have a sailboat that reaches 20 knots with ease.
