MAxi 1000 ‘ORINOCCO’ – SOLD

Thursday 14th July 2022

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to announce the successful sale of the 1997 Maxi 1000 ‘ORINOCO’.

The Maxi 1000 was a huge success by any measure with the builders producing around a 1000 examples over a 10 year production run. Designed by the champion Olympic sailor Pelle Petterson the Maxi 1000 was a performance cruiser which offered rewarding sailing performance with an easily handled fractional rig and self-tacking staysail. Below decks a range of finishes were offered to suit those who wished to use the boat for racing and those who wished to cruise in comfort.

The Maxi 1000 ORINOCO is a nicely presented example of the class, with her owner ‘swallowing the anchor’ she is offered with a full inventory including highlights such as:

• Topsides finished in original white gelcoat, professionally polished June 2022
• Volvo Penta MD2020 marine diesel engine, hull diaphragm replaced April 2019
• 3 blade Kiwiprop feathering propellor
• Raymarine C120 Classic MFD Plotter/Radar display with mast mounted radar scanner
• Autohelm ST4000+ autopilot
• Autohelm ST50 Depth, speed and repeater instruments
• Raymarine ST60+ Wind instrument
• Shore power system
• 230VAC – 12DC battery charger
• Ardic diesel fired heating system
• Quick electric anchor windlass.

Lying ashore the Maxi 1000 ORINOCO will be commisssioned and launched ready for some later season cruising with her new owners. We look forward to seeing this lovely Scandinavian built yacht afloat and being enjoyed again.
