The Maxi 87, introduced in 1975, represents a significant chapter in the evolution of Swedish production yacht building. Conceived by the prolific designer and Olympic medalist Pelle Petterson, the 87 was developed as a more robust and spacious alternative to the earlier Maxi 77 and Maxi 84 models. Produced by the Börjesson Brothers in Sweden until approximately 1982, about 449 units were commissioned, carving out a reputation for the brand as a leader in highvolume, familyoriented coastal cruisers. The model is easily identified by the signature "Maxi" silhouette: a high freeboard, a relatively flat coachroof, and a beam that remains carried well aft to maximize internal volume. This design philosophy prioritized "liveability" and safety, making the 87 a common sight in the Baltic and North Seas.
