Maxi 909 is a 29 ′ 6 ″ / 9 m monohull sailboat designed by Pelle Petterson and built by Maxi Yachts between 1986 and 1991.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

At the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, Strong Winds Are Always a Factor

This year a 100-foot class will earn a Maxi World Championship title for the first time, but gale winds forced the big boats to stay in the harbor as racing began.

By Kimball Livingston

They don’t call it Bomb Alley for nothing. The name comes from the winds that whip through a narrow passage between the Maddalena Archipelago and Sardinia, part of the course for the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup . For the 2024 races that began this week, there was enough wind, with gusts up to 54 knots, to suspend some sailing.

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, a fixture of Mediterranean sailing since 1985, races out of Porto Cervo, Sardinia, on the northeastern face of the island. For the first time, racing this year includes a Maxi World Championship title for the winner among 10 boats 80 to 100 feet long, vying among a total fleet of about 40. Competition wraps up Saturday. Superlatives apply.

Bomb Alley is a racecourse classic, a birthplace of legends. Winds are squeezed to high velocities in the narrows. The same winds in strategic places are blocked by this islet or that, robbing the sails of power. A boat might drift into a calm, but demons are waiting to knock that boat flat if the crew eases out of the calm spot unprepared for the blast. Thus, Bomb Alley.

Murray Jones, an important player in New Zealand’s America’s Cup victories, called this “a fantastic place to sail; beautiful; challenging.” The veteran Ken Read, who has won multiple world championships, called it “a top racing venue on the planet with the best big boats and the best big-boat sailors, the elite of the elite, bobbing and weaving through spectacular islands and outcroppings. Get your name on the Rolex Maxis trophy and you’ve done something in our sport.”

About those islands and outcroppings, however. Navigators are charged with guiding the boats, cutting corners close, but not too close. They know the beauty, but also the worries. It is not unknown for teams to navigate the rocks ahead of race week, to build their own charts of hazards and depths.

In mild weather, it might be reassuring that underwater rocks show through clear waters. Not this week. Add wind and whitecaps, and the sea turns dark, inscrutable. The ante on getting it right goes up. A boat under full sail might be closing fast on a turning mark — or hazard — perhaps with another boat also bearing down hard. Did we mention adrenaline?

Murray this week shared the tactician’s role aboard the 100-foot Galateia with the American Tom Whidden, a tactician who has won the America’s Cup three times, but reminds people that “I’ve also lost it twice.” Those two are typical of the level of professional sailors who showed up for this event. They were supporting Galateia’s owner-driver David Leuschen at the center of it all.

The experience of driving is intense. Drivers control a machine 100 feet long and 140 feet high that blows spray left and right while they balance on a fine line between the sail power overhead and the keel’s counterweight below, with 25 people working for them on deck and the boat alive in their hands.

“I don’t see the point of racing these wonderful yachts if you don’t helm them yourself” said Andrea Recordati of Milan and a second-generation member of Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, the host of the event. His 100-foot Bullitt (he’s a movie fan) won the Rolex Middle Sea Race last year, whetting his appetite to keep improving the Wally Cento he bought in 2021. As the new commodore of the yacht club, he would not have expected to have the fleet sit out the first two days of racing in a gale, but it happened. History had its own way of writing a wrinkle into “celebrating the 40th anniversary of our partnership with Rolex.”

When the sun sets Saturday on Italy and the racing is finished, everyone will have a story. No one, however, will have memories more clear than the tacticians, whose job was to analyze every move and direct where to aim the boat while allowing for wind shifts, competitors that might be blocking and when the navigator says way or no way. And then, in less time than it takes to read that, they’ve moved three spaces.

Who are these people?

One is the American Ed Baird. Among his many achievements, Baird sealed his hero status in 2007, steering the Alinghi as if it could be on rails, defending the America’s Cup for Switzerland. He came to the 2024 Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup as tactician for ICAP Leopard 3. The boat has a lot of moving parts.

“There is a small backup motor that runs all the time, powering the hydraulic ram that cants the keel from side to side, for stability,” Baird said. “It also keeps two daggerboards active, so there is a lot of machinery moving around.”

Deployed, a daggerboard — a fin — provides lateral resistance and limits sideways slip when the boat is sailing upwind. Downwind, daggerboards become resistance and up they come, out of the way.

Most of the boats have fewer moving parts. Leopard’s configuration, including water ballast, is best suited to long-distance racing. Using water ballast in the short races that are a component of Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup would mean transferring the water from side to side on multiple maneuvers, which probably burns too much time to pay off.

However, whether dashing across the Atlantic or around the rocks of the Maddalena Archipelago, Leopard’s powered winches are important to making the machinery manageable. Forget about humans frantically spinning handles on winches that move the sails.

Powered winches are standard in this fleet, and they are finding their way onto smaller race boats, too.

Power assist goes a long way toward making a 100-foot boat raceable, but, “Don’t kid yourself,” Baird said. “You still need 22 big, strong, smart people working together in combat mode.”

Jochen Schümann, in his role as tactician on the Wally yacht Magic Carpet Cubed, compared himself to “the conductor of an orchestra, giving direction.” As a four-time Olympian with three gold medals for Germany, his path follows a familiar pattern.

He sailed a small boat. He mastered the art of reading wind and current. He developed what sailors call a feel for speed until he could close his eyes and know instinctively what the boat was telling him. He learned the arts of maneuvering for advantage in a fleet with rapidly changing dynamics. Those are the skills a sailor builds over a lifetime and they translate to a 100-foot boat at Porto Cervo.

Perhaps the owner of a 100-foot boat has spent a lifetime building the wealth to play the game, but then it takes a team, and every player is a star.

Maxis Through the Years

Big boats have raced against each other for as long as there have been big boats, but the organizing efforts that led to the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup began with a different set of acronyms.

1980 The term Maxi was coined for a group of yachts, each about 70 feet long, handicapped under a formula known as the International Offshore Rule. As Class A, they raced a series of short and long races out of Porto Cervo, fixing Sardinia as the go-to location for the annual championship of the newly formed International Class A Yachting Association. The first winner was the American businessman Jim Kilroy’s Kialoa IV. Awards were presented by the Aga Khan, a founder of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

1984 Rolex entered the picture at Porto Cervo as sponsor of the Rolex Swan Cup, open to the popular line of boats from the premier Finnish builder

1985 Rolex sponsored the first Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup.

1997-99 Larry Ellison, a founder of the Oracle Corporation, won with Sayonara before switching his focus to chasing the America’s Cup.

2001 With handicap formulas changing, Class A became history and the yachting association was reinvented as the International Maxi Association .

2013 The international sport was now managed by World Sailing. Two world-title events were allotted annually to the I.M.A., and the modern era began. The first sanctioned World Championship mixed dedicated race boats with holiday cruisers, exposing a need for separation.

2014 I.M.A. leadership created the Maxi 72 class for 72-foot boats, to support fair racing. Enthusiasm was high. The class win went to Alegre and skipper Andy Soriano, defeating past winners Bella Mente and Ran. For Soriano, having slipped to the runner-up spot two years in a row, the new format delivered a satisfying win. “The level of competition has been raised more than any of us could have imagined,” he said.

2015 The World Championship title was awarded to the Maxi 72 class. The American Hap Fauth’s Bella Mente took the title by one point over Robertissima III. Maxi 72s continued Worlds title racing in 2016 and 2017. By 2018, too many of the boats had been modified beyond the parameters of Maxi 72s. They continued to be competitive individually, but not as a class.

2017 The grandest fleet of big boats, the J Class , assembled six boats, enough to qualify for a Worlds title. Racing was in Newport, R.I., the home of so many America’s Cup matches. In the 2017 Worlds fleet, only Velsheda, launched in 1933, was original. The other five boats were replicas built of modern materials under class requirements to match the lines of one of the original Js. Harold Goddijn won with Lionheart, developed from a naval architect study for Ranger, the winner of the 1937 America’s Cup.

2024 The Maxi World Championship title was awarded in a blustery week with sailors hoping for a sunny reprieve to wrap it up.

34th Edition of Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup Gets Underway in Porto Cervo

8 September 2024,  Porto Cervo, Italy -  The 34th edition of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup officially opens today, 8th September 2024, with the Skipper's Briefing followed by the traditional Welcome Cocktail on the terrace at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda . The regatta, reserved for yachts over 60 feet (18.30 metres) in length, is organised by the YCCS with the support of title sponsor Rolex - with whom it celebrates 40 years of partnership this year - and in collaboration with the International Maxi Association (IMA).

A new addition for this year is the incorporation of the first edition of the Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship, reserved for the fastest Maxi yachts, with an IRC time correction coefficient (TCC) of 1.700 and above.

The quays in front of the YCCS are now home to the 44 maxi yachts, which, starting tomorrow Monday 9th September, will bring this unique regatta to life. Known for the calibre of both the yachts and their crews, racing will take place against the breathtaking backdrop of the La Maddalena Archipelago. The fleet ranges from the “petite” 18-metre Blue Oyster , to the imposing J Class yachts, including Svea - the largest participant at 44 metres.

In 2024, the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and Rolex will celebrate the significant milestone of 40 years of partnership. This strong bond is built on shared values of excellence, innovation, technology, respect for the sea and support for the next generation. These pillars have sustained a successful collaboration that began in 1984 with the Rolex Swan Cup, followed by the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup the next year, and subsequently by numerous high-profile international regattas, organised both in Porto Cervo and abroad. In particular, a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of sailors led to the decision to host three up-and-coming athletes from the Young Azzurra sports programme aboard maxi yachts owned by three YCCS members. Maddalena Spanu (reigning Wingfoil world champion), Federico Pilloni (current iQFOiL junior world champion) and Cesare Barabino , a talented ILCA 7 sailor, will have the opportunity to race aboard much more complex craft than their own, sharing this exciting and inspiring experience through the social media channels of Young Azzurra and the YCCS .

The yachts competing in the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship have been grouped into classes according to their type and performance. Within each class, course times will, as always, be compensated on the basis of the specific rating of the individual yacht. The Race Committee will also decide on the most suitable course for each class on a daily basis, based on boat characteristics and weather conditions. The entire fleet will be set coastal courses winding through the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago, while the pure racers in the Maxi 1 and 2 classes will also have the opportunity to show exactly what these boats and crews can produce on windward-leeward courses. The Race Committee will give six different starts for the divisions Maxi 1, 2, 3, 4, Supermaxi and Multihull.

Ten crews will be competing in the first Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship, the majority of which have been training in the waters off Porto Cervo in preparation for the event. The stellar lineup includes: Bullitt, owned by YCCS Commodore Andrea Recordati; Capricorno, a brand new 82-footer making her regatta debut; Deep Blue, owned by American philanthropist Wendy Schmidt; Django HF, owned by YCCS member Giovanni Lombardi Stronati and returning to competition after major upgrades; Galateia; Leopard 3; Magic Carpet Cubed, owned by YCCS member Sir Lindsay Owen Jones; My Song, owned by YCCS member Pier Luigi Loro Piana; SHK Scallywag and finally the WallyCento V.

The crew lists also include a roster of names of undisputed renown, such as Germany’s Jochen Schuemann, tactician on Magic Carpet Cubed boasting three gold and one silver medal at the Olympics, Brazilian Joca Signorini on Bullitt, New Zealander Murray Jones on Galateia, Italians Vasco Vascotto on Django HF, Flavio Favini and Alberto Bolzan on Capricorno, and American sailors Ken Read and Ed Baird on V and Leopard 3 respectively. Contenders for the first Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship are scheduled to complete four days of coastal racing as well as a day with two windward-leeward races.

Competition will be no less fierce in the remaining classes, with the Maxi 2, home to the former Maxi72 racer class - now racing under IRC - fielding Proteus, North Star, Jolt with Hamish Pepper and Francesco De Angelis on board, and Jethou with Ian Walker on tactics. The programme for this class is to complete two days of windward-leeward competitions for a maximum of four races, with the rest of the race days dedicated to coastal courses.

The largest yachts, sailing in the Supermaxi class, will have their compensated time calculated under the ORCsy rating, specially designed for this type of yacht. The battle also commences tomorrow for these giants of the fleet, including the Swan 115 Moat, owned by Juan Ball, Claus-Peter Offen’s Wally 101 Y3K, and Viriella, owned by Vittorio Moretti – all YCCS members – along with the two J Class yachts Velsheda and Svea. On board are leading yachtsmen such as Mauro Pelaschier, Bouwe Bekking, Guillermo Parada and Karol Jablonski, to name but a few.

The 9 yachts in the Maxi 3 class and 10 in the Maxi 4 class include the SW 82 Grande Orazio, Open Season and H2O, owned respectively by YCCS members Massimiliano Florio, Thomas Bscher and Riccardo de Michele, in addition to Wallyño, owned by IMA President Benoît de Froidmont.

The Multihull class sees Highland Fling 18 and Allegra, owned by YCCS members Lord Irvine Laidlaw and Adrian Keller respectively, join the Gunboat 66 Gaetana on the starting line. On board are international sailors such as Paul Larsen, world sailing speed record holder, calling tactics on Allegra, with Brian Thompson and Cameron Appleton in the role of tacticians on Gaetana and Highland Fling 18 respectively. The Supermaxi, Maxi 3, Maxi 4 and Multihull classes will compete exclusively on coastal courses in the La Maddalena Archipelago.

A key element of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, once the battles on the water are over, is also the social programme back on dry land. Crews will gather each day in Piazza Azzurra for post-race refreshments, the Rolex Gala Dinner will take place on the evening of Thursday 12th September in the picturesque village of San Pantaleo, while the following evening the Crew Party will be held in Piazza Azzurra. Finally, on 14th September at 5.30 p.m. the every-thronged prize-giving ceremony will conclude the 34th edition of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup.

Racing is scheduled to start tomorrow, 9th September, with a warning signal at 12 midday CEST. Strong westerly winds of 26 to 28 knots are forecast.

For further information, the entry list , programme , photos and press releases , please visit the YCCS website or contact the Press Office . Special live content from the race course and post-race from the docks at Porto Cervo Marina will be streamed on the YCCS Instagram channel .

Toti, accordo per il patteggiamento: 2 anni, convertiti in 1.500 ore di lavori socialmente utili

Maxi yacht Rolex Cup 2024, al via a Porto Cervo la regata che tocca Maddalena e Caprera

La regata costiera di circa 27 miglia ha portato a circumnavigare in senso orario le isole di La Maddalena e Caprera per fare rientro a Porto Cervo

Dopo giorni di rinvii a causa del maestrale, la flotta impegnata nella 34° Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup a Porto Cervo ha finalmente beneficiato di condizioni meteo perfette: vento da ovest tra 10 e 16 nodi, cielo limpido e sole per l’avvio delle regate. Due i campi di regata posizionati dallo Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, uno per la regata costiera di circa 27 miglia, che ha portato a circumnavigare in senso orario le isole di La Maddalena e Caprera per fare rientro a Porto Cervo, e l’altro per le prove a bastone che hanno impegnato i 10 yacht del primo Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship e i 4 yacht della classe Maxi 2, barche appartenute alla classe Maxi72 che regatano con il compenso IRC al di fuori dell’originaria regola di classe. 

I premiati  

Sullo stesso campo hanno regatato anche i Maxi 2, che hanno svolto 3 prove: con un primo, un terzo e un secondo posto conduce la classifica provvisoria Jolt (ex Cannonball) del socio YCCS Peter Harrison con il neozelandese Hamish Pepper alla tattica. Seguono appaiati, a un solo punto di distacco dal primo, Northstar of London di Peter Dubens, socio YCCS, e Proteus di George e Christina Sakellaris. La classe Supermaxi ha visto prevalere sia in tempo reale che compensato Moat del socio YCCS Juan Ball con Guillermo Parada alla tattica. Seguono i due J Class, Svea e Velsheda, rispettivamente secondo e terzo al calcolo dei tempi compensati, protagonisti di un duello a distanza ravvicinata lungo tutto il percorso della regata costiera. Tra i nove yacht della classe Maxi 3 ha prevalso Oscar 3 di Aldo Parisotto, seguito da Rose e Grande Orazio del socio YCCS Massimiliano Florio. I dieci Maxi 4 hanno visto imporsi Fra Diavolo di Vincenzo Addessi su Wallyño, del presidente IMA Benoît de Froidmont e H2O del socio YCCS Riccardo de Michele.

Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats. The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 7 berths, a galley, 90.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

The Maxi 909 has been built with different keel alternatives.

But be aware that even though a Wing Keel keel is very good for speed racing, a fishing nets and the like in the water can easily make you into a troublesome situation.

The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.65 - 1.75 meter (5.41 - 5.71 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Torpedo keel

This keel is also made of iron.

Maxi 909 can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.65 - 1.75 meter (5.41 - 5.71 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta 2001 diesel engine at 9 hp (6 kW). The speed is 6.0 knots.

The transmission is a saildrive.

The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 35.0 liters (9 US gallons, 7 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Maxi 909 is 2.11, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.6 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Maxi 909 is about 155 kg/cm, alternatively 869 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 155 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 869 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

What is Relative Speed Performance?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 27m 2 (290 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Satellite Map of Rostov-na-Donu).

Satellite map

Satellite map shows the Earth's surface as it really looks like. The above map is based on satellite images taken on July 2004. This satellite map of Rostov-na-Donu is meant for illustration purposes only. For more detailed maps based on newer satellite and aerial images switch to a detailed map view.

Hillshading is used to create a three-dimensional effect that provides a sense of land relief. Shadows drawn on a map simulate the effects of sunlight falling across the surface of the landscape.

Geographic map projection

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Rostov-na-Donu uses Plate Carree projection. The Plate Carree projection is a simple cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. It has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles.

All projections from a sphere to a plane are distorted. The drawback of the Plate Carree projection is that it doesn't make an attempt to compensate for these distortions. For the general view of Rostov-na-Donu, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.
