Engineered for speed and versatility, the Bakewell-White Pocket Maxi represents a unique opportunity to own a high-performance carbon fiber vessel. Built in 2001, this yacht features a sophisticated hydraulic retractable keel that adjusts from 2.80m to 4.50m, allowing for both competitive racing and agile cruising in varied conditions. The hull and deck are constructed from composite materials including carbon, Kevlar, and E-glass, finished in a durable Awlgrip gray paint.
Designed for precision handling, the deck layout includes high-spec Lewmar Racing winches, a carbon Hall Spars rig, and twin carbon helm wheels. The sail inventory is comprehensive, featuring a 2017 Diamonds Sails laminate main and genoa, alongside North Sails gennakers and a Code 0. The system is set up for efficient sail management, utilizing a low-friction battencar system and hydraulic Navtec vang and backstay adjustments.
Below deck, the yacht transitions into a capable cruiser with 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, accommodating up to 14 people. The master cabin forward includes a private head, while the interior layout offers a functional galley with a 3-burner gas stove, oven, and multiple refrigeration units. Recent upgrades in 2024 include a full suite of B&G electronics, such as Zeus S chartplotters and an updated VHF, ensuring modern navigation capabilities for the discerning sailor.
This vessel is well-suited for owners seeking a serious regatta competitor that does not sacrifice interior volume for weekend excursions. Whether navigating short-handed or with a full racing crew, the mechanical systems—including a hydraulic PTO for the keel and anchor winch—provide reliability and ease of operation. The boat is currently lying in Italy and is offered with VAT paid status.
