The Maxi 84 is a quintessential example of the "sturdy Swedish cruiser" archetype, designed by the legendary Pelle Petterson and produced between 1977 and 1983. Following the commercial triumph of the Maxi 77, the 84 was conceived to offer more volume, better standing headroom, and a more sophisticated interior for families graduating from smaller daysailers. With approximately 1,100 hulls produced, it remains a common sight in Northern European waters, particularly in the Baltic and the UK. The boat reflects Petterson’s philosophy of blending a forgiving hull shape with a high ballast ratio, resulting in a vessel that feels significantly larger and more capable than its 28foot length would suggest.
