SAFETY FIRST
6
• Every time you sail, be alert to the power of nature and the elements.
Any body of water, even a small pond, may be dangerous if you do not
treat it with respect.
• Know your own limits. The mxNext is a high performance boat and
requires a certain level of knowledge and skill to handle. Carefully read
this manual and get acquainted with all of the boat’s systems on shore
before taking her out on the water.
• Plan for emergency conditions. The weather can change very rapidly
and even if it’s a nice sunny day when you start out, take appropriate
precautions. Carefully read the section “Emergency Procedures” of this
manual and nd time to practice these procedures so you’ll know what
to do and stay cool in case of a real emergency.
• Always wear your life jacket while sailing.
• Always carry a small paddle on the boat.
• The safest way to learn how to sail the mxNext is by going out on
the water with sailors from your local Yacht Club who can provide
assistance if necessary. If you go sailing alone, always inform someone
else where you will be sailing and what time you plan to come back to
shore.
• Get familiar with your mxNext gradually. Start in a light wind in a well-
protected area and go through all the routine maneuvers: tacking,
jibing, spinnaker hoisting and dousing, etc. Try to capsize the boat few
times to develop the skill of righting her.
• Secure yourself properly to the boat. During hiking or rapid acceleration
keep your feet under the hiking strap. Wear non-slip dinghy boots. It
is also a good idea to wear kneepads.

• If you fall overboard, hold on to the mainsheet or other lines. Try to
avoid holding on to the tiller, especially if the boat is moving at a high
speed, as this may break the tiller or rudder or both.
• Make sure that the boat and all the systems are in working order and
do not show signs of excessive wear and tear. Periodically check all
hardware and running rigging and replace parts if necessary.
• Periodically open the inspection port and check for large amounts of
water that might indicate a leak. It is normal for a small amount of
water to accumulate inside the hull - just be sure you drain the boat
completely through the transom drain plug every time you go sailing.
If a serious hull leak develops, immediately stop using the boat and
contact your local dealer or International MX Composites.
• Check that the inspection port and drain plug are always closed tight
before leaving the shore.
• The hull is constructed with closed cell foam that provides 1,000lbs
(453kg) of buoyancy so there is no danger of your boat sinking.
• The mxNext hull, mast and boom are made of carbon ber, which is
an excellent conductor of electricity. Rigging or sailing your boat near
electrical lines or during a storm with lightening could be extremely
dangerous.
• Contact your local dealer or mxNext representative if you have any
questions about safe mxNext sailing. By putting safety rst, and always
knowing your limits, you will ensure that you have a great and trouble-
free time sailing your mxNext

DESIGN FEATURES
CONCEPT
The mxNext was developed as the latest generation of high-performance
single-handed skiffs sailed with a combination of mainsail and spinnaker,
an idea that was started two decades ago with the highly successful
mxRay. Both the mxRay and the mxNext were designed and developed by
Vlad Murnikov whose innovative approach to sailboat design continues to
change the way we view fast sailboats.
The design goal was to create a boat that would be challenging and
exhilarating for the most experienced sailors, yet relatively simple and safe
enough for less experienced sailors. The result is a boat that is approachable
for most levels of experience. As long as you know the basics of sailing and
never overestimate your abilities, the mxNext can provide you with one of
the most invigorating sailing experiences you will nd anywhere.

SAIL PLAN
While sailing upwind, the mxNext uses an efcient square-top mainsail
with full length that can be adjusted to a wide range of shapes by using
the vang, cunningham/downhaul and outhaul. The primary mainsail bers
are Technora and the sail is made of a clear membrane which you can see
through to see other boats and obstacles that might be in your way.
The asymmetrical spinnaker has a long luff for more power and a large
