Maxus 26 (CB)
Maxus 26 (CB) is a 27 ′ 6 ″ / 8.4 m sailboat designed by Jacek Daszkiewicz and built by Northman Shipyard (PL) starting in 2015.
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)
Also available with a daggerboard. Max draft: 1.6m / 5.25ft Displacement: 2200kg / 4,850 lbs

Review of Maxus 26
Basic specs..
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 boat is equipped with 6 berths, a galley and 400.0 liter fresh water capacity.
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 Maxus 26 is 2.12, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.
Maxus 26 holds two CE certifications:
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Maxus 26 is about 158 kg/cm, alternatively 888 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 158 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 888 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jib sheet | 7.6 m | (25.0 feet) | 10 mm | (3/8 inch) |

Maxus 26 Electric: a modern family sailing yacht with an electric motor
The Maxus 26 Electric is a modern family sailing yacht and offers sailing fun up to four people. The 8.40 meter Maxus 26 has a modern, appealing design and is a bit more stable compared to the Maxus Evo 24. At 26 feet, you will find everything that sailors want on board a small cruiser for a wonderful sailing holiday. The swingkeel is very suitable for sailing on inland waterways and on the IJsselmeer and is also very practical for the Wadden Sea.
Environmentally conscious sailing with the Maxus 26 Electric The Maxus 26 is available with an electric drive. An electric motor is low-maintenance, easy to operate and produces no environmentally harmful exhaust fumes when cruising. Be one with nature and enjoy easy manoeuvring and comfortable and sustainable cruising.
Exterior and performance Thanks to its modern lines, the Maxus 26 has good sailing characteristics. The Maxus 26 is responsive at the helm, speeds up quickly and can be sailed high upwind. The deck is well organised and all the lines lead into the cockpit. In addition, the large cockpit of the Maxus 26 is ergonomically designed. This emission-free small cruising yacht combines sportive sailing and comfortable cruising with the electric motor.
Well-thought-out interior concept The Maxus 26 offers exceptionally generous space below deck and has a headroom of 1.83 metres. The forward cabin comfortably accommodates two people and the aft cabin also has a spacious double bed.
In the saloon, there are couches on both sides and the roof hatches and windows let in plenty of natural light. On the port side there is a pantry with sink and storage space and can optionally be equipped with an induction hob and refrigerator compartment. The closable bathroom on starboard features an electric toilet and optional a shower.
