Interior arrangements for day-race Maxi yachts reflect the necessity for minimum accommodation weight with maximum floor area to allow for the stowing and sorting of anything up to 30 sails. Maxi designs aimed at the Whitbread Round the World race such as ‘NCB Ireland' or the futuristic 'Lion New Zealand' with her red companion-way ladders require more concessions to crew comforts as each leg of these races lasts between 18 and 35 days.
