Description

The Maxi 38+ is a high-quality Scandinavian sailing yacht designed by the renowned Pelle Petterson and built by Nimbus Maxi Yachts in Sweden. With only 51 units produced, it is a refined evolution of Petterson's design philosophy, blending a center-cockpit safety profile with impressive cruising performance. "Walk of Life" presents very well with a new engine in 2017, new standing and running rigging in the last 2 years. She is ready to go for the season.
