Sailing yachtNajad N395 CC

The Najad 395 is a significant new model from the esteemed Swedish boatyard, Najad, marking their first new hull and deck design in nearly ten years. Designed by Farr and Ken Freivokh, the 395 showcases the durability and robustness Najad is renowned for. It features solid laminates with thick vinylester hull and deck, including a grid structure that effectively absorbs keel and rig loads. This ensures a cruiser capable of enduring various marine conditions. The foredeck boasts a deep chain locker, a sturdy pulpit with seating, and a raised bulwark, enhancing the overall safety and solid feel of the boat. Standard elements include teak decks and inboard genoa tracks. The design incorporates modern touches like a spoiler design on fixed sprayhood windows and a spacious, protected cockpit, along with a swimming platform, catering to modern yachting preferences.

Sailing and Handling

The Najad 395 is engineered for excellent sailing performance and handling, adhering to Najad's tradition of building seaworthy and reliable yachts. The single rudder design, preferred for its protection and maneuverability, ensures efficient handling. The twin helms in the aft cockpit model create a walk-through passageway to the cockpit, while the center cockpit model features a single wheel. These design choices ensure the boat can handle various sea conditions comfortably and safely, providing a smooth sailing experience for the crew.

Interior and Comfort

The interior of the Najad 395 blends traditional Swedish craftsmanship with a modern touch, offering options for either white oak or another wood finish. The aft cockpit version includes a large aft double cabin, while the forward cabin features a split berth. The saloon is equipped with a heads compartment and an aft-facing navigation table, with an option for a forward-facing chart table. The yacht accommodates two aft double cabins, which is remarkable for a vessel under 40 feet. The owner's cabin comes with an ensuite head and a wet room. Generous machinery space allows easy access to the engine room, stern thruster, chargers, inverters, and other electronics. This thoughtful layout provides both comfort and practicality for extended cruising, ensuring a luxurious and functional sailing experience.
