Finding other Maxis, choosing an AIS and lightning fast response.
I keep a google alert for ‘‘Maxi 95.’’ Yesterday it turned up ‘‘maxi95junk.wordpress.com.’’ Someone in Norway who has bought an old, motor-less, rig-less 95 for less than $5000 delivered.
I’ve been in contact with the site and boat owner, who will join the Maxi Facebook Maxi 95 Owners group.
I also found Continue reading “Finding other Maxis, choosing an AIS and lightning fast response.”
