Accommodations notes
While the aim was to create a fast yacht the designer did not want the MaxFun to be an empty boat inside. The internal frame is visible throughout the boat but by making the moulding in a dark colour and with a spickle coating it already will look vastly different from what we are used to. The hull sides are finished off in alcantara look alike lightweight panels and with removable leather seats and wooden floor panels the boat has a warm feeling inside. On starboard side is the nav. table with space for a notebook and electronics.
Two aluminium pipecots can be installed in the bow

CONSTRUCTION
Construction notes
Construction
For the building of the boat conventional building materials are used as much as possible.
For the hullshell a thick foamcore has been used for panel stiffness. The internal frame is completely built out of glass/ carbon fibre and glued into place. The steel keelfin slots into a recess in the hull and with the keelbolts as well as with the mainchainplate bolts also a mechanical fastening is achieved between hull shell and interior liner.
The boat consists basically out of four pieces. Hull, deck, interiorliner and a ceiling liner.
