February 20101) Maxi 1050 finishes 7th in 2009 ARC
2) More on Maxi Yachts, AGM and Rallies, and web project!
M-O-A members will be pleased to see dates announced in the members area for this year's AGM and our popular Solent Rallies. The AGM venue will be announced as soon as possible, together with further details on the Rally programme.
January 2010New Maxi 1300 exhibited at the Boat Show, 23 -31 January 2010We are very pleased that the new Najad/Maxi corporate structure is now beginning to take shape, with the latest Maxi 1300 taking pride of place on the Najad/Maxi stand in Dusseldorf, illustrated by the first picture on the www.najad.se website. The German dealer for Maxi, who also represents Grand Soleil and Najad, describes the 1300 as having "great ambience with a Scandanavian touch". Late last year, details of the new investment and corporate structure concerning Maxi Yachts as part of the Najad group were revealed in a Press Release. The M-O-A Committee have already established contacts with the new majority investor in the Maxi Brand and look forward to an early meeting with the CEO of Animatrix Capital LLP.
September 2009Five committee members arranged to meet the Najad/Maxi Marketing Manager at the Southampton Boat Show on the 14th September to discuss the future of the Maxi marque now owned by Linnea Group. This proved to be a very positive meeting and a fuller report will be made available to M-O-A members in due course. April 2009Our 2009 AGM was once again held at the Queen Inn at Dummer, and we were pleased to see a good turnout. We were very pleased to have four new volunteers to step forward to help with Membership, Secretarial and Newsletter Editor duties. Solent area have once again organised a comprehensive Rally Programme, which might possibly be extended to include a cruise to the Channel Isles. Another printed newsletter is in preparation, so don't forget we are already looking for new articles and adverts for the next one! Further details of the AGM (and a full report in due course) can be found in the Members Area. Have a happy, safe, and successful sailing season, Chris May 2008Our 2008 AGM was another success, although the numbers who could actually make it to the Queen Inn at Dummer were less than last year. Our Association is still growing but we really do need more volunteers to help us. The Rally season has now started, and we had another very successful Nimbus Power/Maxi Sail joint event in Bembridge. It was somewhat ironic that the date of this event was the same date when Maxi Yachts was formally sold by the Nimbus Group to Najad, forming a new Group to be known as Linnea. We are pleased to be able to report that SD Marine will continue their long association with Maxi Yachts www.maxiyachts.co.uk . At present, details are fairly sketchy but SD Marine say
Further information can be found on www.linneayachtgroup.se and some press comments can be found at YM and IBI. Chris
