Construction For the building of the boat conventional building materials are used as much as possible. For the hullshell a thick foamcore has been used for panel stiffness. The internal frame is completely built out of glass/ carbon fibre and glued into place. The steel keelfin slots into a recess in the hull and with the keelbolts as well as with the mainchainplate bolts also a mechanical fastening is achieved between hull shell and interior liner. The boat consists basically out of four pieces. Hull, deck, interiorliner and a ceiling liner. Built: 04-2003

Interior While the aim was to create a fast yacht the designer did not want the MaxFun to be an empty boat inside. The internal frame is visible throughout the boat but by making the moulding in a dark colour and with a spickle coating it already will look vastly different from what we are used to. The hull sides are finished off in alcantara look alike lightweight panels and with removable leather seats and wooden floor panels the boat has a warm feeling inside. On starboard side is the nav. table with space for a notebook and electronics. The interior can in total accommodate six persons. Two aluminium pipecots can be installed in the bow.

Galley The galley consists of a sink and three burner stove integrated in a one piece base. This whole unit is gimbaled.

deck layout The deckplan shows a generous cockpit with a clean deck lay-out. Four winches in total with ratchet blocks on the gennaker sheet and a fine trim on the mainsheet is enough to keep the sails under control. The jib furling line and bowsprit control line are fed back under deck All controls are led back to the cockpit over the coachroof. For touring purposes a locker can be installed at the transom to create extra locker space and close off the transom.

Sails Sailplan The sailplan shows the mast fairly far aft positioned in order to get enough drive from the the jib. With a lower aspect ratio the jib will be more efficient and downwind the seperation between the mainsail and the assymetric spinnaker becomes bigger. Sail Area : Main: 45.0 m² 100 % Jib: 27.2 m² GP Spi: 145.0 m² I: 12.95 m J: 04.20 m P: 13.65 m E: 04.90 m Fractional rig, no backstays. 2 mainsails 4 jibs 2 gennakers

Philosophy After the succesful introduction of the Max Fun 25 on the Dutch market in 2000, the Dutch company Max Fun Boats introduced the new Max Fun 35 designed by Maarten Voogd. The philosophy behind the Max Fun 35 is a fast and easily driven yacht. Not trying to create another racing boat designed to any specific rating rule the designers opted for a sportsboat in the true sense of the word. The Max Fun 35 has more in common with the latest sportscars. Fast and mean on the outside and luxury inside. An affordable one design class yacht. The hull is relatively narrow for a 35 footer with moderate flare. Wetted surface has been minimized and the T-shaped keel with lead bulb, accounting for 50% of the overall displacement, generates a high stability. A high aspect rudder with carbon fibre stock will keep the boat on course. The VPP predicts speeds well in the twenties on broad reaching angles.
