The Maxi 38+ represents a refined evolution of Pelle Petterson’s design philosophy, blending the safety of a center-cockpit configuration with the performance-oriented hull forms that define Swedish boatbuilding. Produced during the era when Maxi Yachts was integrated with Nimbus Boats, the 38+ was positioned as a premium coastal and offshore cruiser. It is distinguished from the earlier Maxi 38 primarily by its integrated sugar-scoop transom, which extends the waterline and provides a more modern profile. As with most of Petterson’s designs, the vessel strikes a deliberate balance between a high-volume, mahogany-clad interior and a slippery, easily driven hull that avoids the sluggishness often associated with center-cockpit cruisers.
