I think what you are doing wrong is having a Watir::IE object inside
your Navigator class. If you inherit from IE you have all methods in
IE available so you don't need to wrap another instance of IE inside.
Can you try this (not tested):

require 'Watir'

class Navigator<Watir::IE
 def initialize(maxim)
   @maxim=maxim
 end
 def go(url)
   goto(url)
   if @maxim==1 then
     maximize()
   end
 end
end

naveg=Navigator.new(1)
naveg.go("http://www.google.es")

puts naveg.url

Hope this helps,

Jesus.
