The Maiorcan 17 M is a splendid example of cruising harmony with high technology performance. The hull represents the latest in Naval Architecture and has been thoroughly tank tested. The large double chines give efficiency over a range of speeds from 14 knots long range cruise to 30 knots sprint speed, and unparalleled seaworthiness, all with maximum fuel economy. The practical layout is designed for all weather cruising.        The command bridge has a spacious sun pad for lounging protected from the wind, extending from the bench seat for the upper helm. Full controls and throttles are provided. Down the steps is the sun deck with ample entertaining space and a bench seat with stowage under. Refreshments are as close as the wet bar. High railings with tinted plexiglass panels provide safety and protection from the wind without interfering with the view. Down the steps aft is the jacuzzi hot tub and swim platform for easy access to the water. Entrance to the main lounge is from the sun deck down through the companionway. The lounge is spacious thanks to the generous beam, and well appointed with silk sculptured rugs. Directly to port is the entertainment center with an L shaped settee across the way. Up one step is the dinette with excellent visibility through the forward windshield. The main helm has a proper chart table and chart stowage with complete electronics panel. A very well equipped galley is a few steps down with all the conveniences a gourmet chef could ask for, microwave, dishwasher, eye level ovens, trash compactor, range top with barbecue, and large fridge with freezer.        There is a choice of three large cabins, each with their own hanging lockers. The master stateroom aft, is full width and has his and her night tables and dressers on each side of a queen size bed. There is a walk in closet and private w.c. with full size bath tub. The mid stateroom has upper and lower single berths. The forward cabin has a queen size bed with his and hers night tables on each side. The forward w.c. has a separate shower and access from either the forward cabin or hallway.        The engine room is very business like and has a work bench. All systems are laid out to commercial standards and are arranged into systems of priority. Twin diesels and twin generators as well as a shore power system are all professionally organized.        Euro-American styling, enduring quality, an investment to last a lifetime. This is only one of a long line of quality motoryachts to come. Not to be compared quickly with competitors, this is a boat that bears up under scrutiny.
