Additional Details
BLUE SHADOWS 2004 Maxim Voyage 380 BLUE SHADOWS has an attractive profile which is typical of a performance-oriented cruising catamaran. Across the stern is a robust dinghy davit system which houses the 10’ Aluminum hull Dinghy & 25 Hp Outboard along with 2 paddle boards and kayak. Across the top is an impressive array of solar panels. A walkway gives easy access to the dinghy and has ample storage. The recent certified life raft is mounted beneath. The cockpit is protected with a hardtop and removable canvas enclosure. Seating w/table to port with helm to stbd. All lines lead to the cockpit for safe sail handling. Entering the companionway, you will find the well-appointed galley to port with settee and aft facing navigation station on the stbd side. Both hulls include single berths in each bow. Followed by large double berths. Heads are amidships with large double berths aft. Ample storage throughout. Engine access is under the aft beds. Engine space is well laid out, uncluttered with room to complete departure checks and maintenance with little effort. Seller Comment: After we had previously viewed a dozen other yachts, our broker suggested that we view this Maxim 380. We had never considered or heard of the manufacturer, so we took some time to research and the more we learned, the more excited we became to see it in person. When the day came, we instantly knew Blue Shadows was the one for us. We were drawn to the durability and hardiness of the South African construction. The roomy interior space has accommodated our 6-Foot 3-Inch-tall captain and that is no small feat. The convenience to maintenance, including the engine compartments, not only provide easy access but also safety in rolling seas. As comes with owning any new-to-you yacht, we were intimidated by what we were going to need to learn, but the simplicity of the systems on board have made it manageable and, daresay, enjoyable. We love to cook, so the 4-burner stove was also a major selling point. The galley up has served wonderfully for great family meals and entertaining guests. One of our fondest memories on Blue Shadows was a Fourth of July celebration when we hosted 3 other cruising families for a barbecue while watching the spectacular fireworks show over the Bridge of Lions in Saint Augustine.BLUE SHADOWS 2004 MAXIM VOYAGE 380 Measurements

Superstructure: Molded FRP Sails & Rigging
Custom “Stack-Pack” w/Lazy Jacks Mast and rigging inspected as recommended in the pre-purchase survey. Rigging inspectors found minor pitting in some areas but stated that the overall rigging system was in great shape and had approx. 1-2 years of serviceable life left according to industry standards. All standing rigging was cleaned and lubricated with Lanacote and Tef 45 where appropriate. Boom light was repaired and made operable. Installed new wind indicator at mast head and installed new anchor/tri-color light. Ran wiring for Wave Wi-Fi antenna and cellular antenna. Installed new wire for radar. Cleaned and resealed connection for VHF antenna. Prepped mast to be re-stepped. (Feb 2021) Hardware / Fittings:

Storm Jib Pulled the main sail, jib, asymmetrical, and storm jib off the vessel and took them where they could be spread and thoroughly inspected. The sails proved to be in perfect, like-new condition. (May 2021) Trampolines: Purchased Dyneema trampoline webbing from https://www.africancats.com/dyneema-trampoline-webbing. Once the trampoline materials were received from the Netherlands, we purchased 1/4” Dyneema to be used for the “frame”/mounting support system and proceeded with sizing, shaping, and cutting the trampoline material. Two strands of the 1/4” Dyneema were weaved through the webbing to create a robust mounting system. Purchased 3/8” Dyneema and all new D-sliders to connect the new trampolines to the hulls. Installed trampolines to the hulls using a special tensioning knot that also spreads the load across the attachment knot rather than a single point of wear. (Apr 2021) Ground Tackle

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
