The Najad 370 offers all the same comfort and build quality you would find on her larger sisters. Built by one of the famous Swedish boat-building powerhouses, she boasts a quality of finish which is hard to find on modern production cruisers. The combination of a well-protected central cockpit with a fixed windscreen and comfortable decks accommodation with a spacious aft cabin creates a cruiser ideal for extended adventures.
A much-loved example of the Najad 370 PONDSKATER of KIP was commissioned by her original owner for long-distance ocean cruising. At the time of build many extras were factory fitted, such as her larger water tanks. Now with only her second owner, she has cruised extensively in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, proving to be a reliable and easily handled cruising yacht. With her current owner now ‘swallowing the anchor’ and retiring for sailing, she is offered for sale with an extensive inventory highlights include:
