The Najad 395 is a noteworthy model from the traditional Swedish boatyard, Najad, marking their first new hull and deck design in nearly a decade. Designed by Farr and Ken Freivokh, the 395 exemplifies the robust and durable characteristics Najad is known for. It features solid laminates with thick vinylester hull and deck, including a grid structure to absorb keel and rig loads. This design ensures a durable and robust cruiser capable of withstanding various marine conditions. The foredeck includes a deep chain locker, a sturdy pulpit with a seat, and a raised bulwark, enhancing the boat’s overall solidity and safety.
Features and Amenities
Standard features include teak decks and inboard genoa tracks. The design incorporates modern elements like a spoiler design on fixed sprayhood windows and a spacious, protected cockpit. The boat also includes a swimming platform, a popular feature for modern yachts. The 395 has a single rudder design, preferred by Najad for its protection and maneuverability. Twin helms create a walk-through passageway to the cockpit in the aft cockpit model, while the center cockpit model features a single wheel.
Interior and Layout
The interior retains a traditional Swedish feel with a modern twist, offering options for either white oak or another wood finish. The aft cockpit version provides a large aft double cabin, and the forward cabin features a split berth. The saloon includes a heads compartment and an aft-facing navigation table, with an option for a forward-facing chart table. The yacht can accommodate two aft double cabins, which is notable for a boat under 40 feet. The owner’s cabin includes an ensuite head with a wet room. There is generous machinery space with easy access to the engine room, stern thruster, chargers, inverters, and other electronics.
