The inverted bows, slim hulls at the waterline, and displacement limited to 23,370 lbs (10.6 t) set the tone: the Max 48SC guarantees excellent performance under way.
Those who enjoy the thrill of close-hauled sailing can opt for the deep daggerboards rather than the fixed skeg keels.
But comfort has not been neglected, as the platform is very wide – over 26 feet (8 m) in the beam, making it 27½ inches (70 cm) beamier than the Max 45SC. The shipyard offers highly customizable layouts and hybrid propulsion.
