Maximus - the new all Kiwi supermaxi with rotating wing mast out on her maiden sail on the Waitemata this afternoon (NZT). (Sorry about the quality of the shot). KS |

Great to see a shot of this and welcome to the forum Kiwi Spy! A great first posting - I'm looking forward to hearing more about this boat. That is a huge rig (almost IACC style)

Launch shot - Maximum features a retracting canting keel which swings
50 degrees. The retracting mechanism is contained in the keel strut.

The chappy driving the travel-lift did have his work cut out as Maximus was a very tight fit into the dock designed for an AC yacht. They had ropes etc on to pull her back. Finally it got down to this.. KS
