Designed by Pelle Pettersson — the renowned Swedish naval architect and America’s Cup sailor — the Maxi 120 was the yard’s flagship when she launched, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hallberg-Rassy and Najad as a benchmark of Scandinavian blue-water quality. Don’t let her age or a few cosmetic blemishes put you off. Read through the detailed inventory and any serious blue-water sailor will see exactly how well this vessel has been maintained and equipped for ocean passage-making.
Lucky Girl is currently on her second circumnavigation, this time with a family of four who departed Scotland twelve years ago. That story alone tells you what you need to know about her seaworthiness.
Built to last. She was constructed in Sweden during an era when GRP was laid up thick — and it shows. The hull is exceptionally substantial, the standing and running rigging is all one size up from standard, and her five-tonne encapsulated keel gives her the kind of solidity that inspires confidence offshore. The skeg-hung rudder is famously robust, and the ketch rig means the sail plan is naturally divided into manageable panels — giving you more options to tune for conditions and easier sail handling for a short-handed crew. The family has sailed her through 65-knot winds and five-metre seas. She kept going, and so did the autopilot.
Turnkey and ready. The family prepared Lucky Girl for the passage from Fiji back to Scotland in early 2026. Plans changed — and their gain is yours. Every system has been modernised and updated. Provision her with food and cast off: everything else is already aboard and ready.
She is offered at a keen price for a prompt sale, alongside a comprehensive inventory that tells the full story.
