Maxi Mixer 35 around the world – pics and vids

There are no exact numbers available of how many Maxi Mixer boats that were manufactured. But most sources seems to quote around 100 manufactured units. For all Maxi Mixer owners, potential buyers and fans out there – I have collected a few pictures to show the width of this fantastic machine. As this is a live page – content is added as more boats are submitted by the readers.

There are quite a few versions of the Maxi Mixer. The standard Cruising version, the racing version and finally the Exclusive competition. But in between – there seems to be a few variants as well. If you have information you want to share or pictures – do not hesitate to contact me.

Observations:

This seems to be a very standard Mixer with few modifications, quite similar to our boat. The nav table appears to have been removed, and the original cushions are still in place. The door hinges on the head door seem to be of the same type as one of the hinges on our boat before I replaced them with what I believed to be the original design. The gray water tank has a manual level indicator behind the lid, which is a smart solution, although I suppose it is difficult to find a hose that does not let smell through after a couple of years. The fuel cap beside the tiller is placed slightly differently compared to our boat. I really like the simple twist fastener for the cockpit table in the rear cabin, and the sailboat visible in the table art seems to be a Maxi Mixer, which looks beautiful. The table attaches via two stainless hooks under the tiller.

This 1982 Maxi Mixer was for sale in Denmark via Scandboat. From what I have seen so far, the interior looks especially nice on this one. The front cabin appears to have been built with extra care, with fitted doors for the wardrobes, and the beds seem to be shaped differently from the standard Mixer layout. So far, this is the only boat I have found with this level of woodwork.

The side panel of the sink seems to have an extra opening, probably to allow easy access to a trash can. The rear cabin also looks somewhat different, with finer woodwork on the panel that normally leads to the engine bay. On this boat, however, the access seems to have been removed. I can also see that at some point the owner grew tired of the wooden panel at the entrance and replaced or painted it white. The door to the head appears to be of higher quality too, with rounded corners. The kitchen area has a white finish unlike other Maxi Mixers, and sliding doors have been fitted to a storage area. Sliding doors are also used in the head.

The interior handrails have been moved up to the ceiling, although in this case I actually prefer the model of handles that we have in our boat. Finally, this boat seems to have a different type of mast and rigging, with two spreaders and a thinner boom compared to many other Maxi Mixers. It also has an extra chainplate on deck that supports the upgraded mast, the extra chainplate rod is also visible in the cabin pictures next to the forward bulkhead.

This is a really special one, also for sale in Denmark via Scandboat. It is clear that someone truly wanted to optimise their Mixer. This boat also has what I would call the performance rig. The most interesting modification is found on the hull. It features a unique bulb keel, a modified rudder, and what appears to be an additional hull adjustment in front of the rudder, making the surface smooth all the way back. It also has a full-length mainsail traveller.

The interior is nicely done too and offers a few pleasant surprises. The drawers on the starboard side have been removed to accommodate a tall sailor in the sofa. The storage shelves closest to the forward bulkhead have also been modified. And just like the other Maxi Mixer from Denmark mentioned above, this one has handrails mounted on the ceiling. It also appears that a board has been added behind the ladder, likely with hooks and other storage solutions on the backside. What I really like on this boat is the wall by the head door, which has been nicely upgraded with a soft storage bin and with cleats converted into hooks.
