Friends! Today I will show you a sailboat that I personally really like, and it looks like my perfect sailboat.
This is a Najad 331 (2001) with a Volvo Penta MD2030 engine for 81,500 euros.
Location: Sweden
Length: 9.98 meters
Width: 3.26 meters
Draft: 1.7 meters
Berths: 6
Toilet and shower: available
Kitchen (galley): available
It is an alternative to Hallberg Rassy, the Najad brand stands at the HR level. Personally, I like this option in this size even more than HR.
This is a very reliable and well-made boat, the manufacturer didn’t try to save money on the configuration. Yes, it is expensive, but it’s worth it 🙂
If you buy a mainstream model, it turns out that your boat is more designed for simple travel, but you get additional comfort like a shower, a modern interior, etc.
If you go to the ocean on a mainstream sailboat, some problems maн begin (eg. a broken bulkhead, constant breakdowns, etc).
If you take a sailboat from the 70s and 80s, then you lose comfort, but you get a more seaworthy and safer boat.
In boats like this one both advantages are combined. This is a modern boat with a focus on seaworthiness and reliability.
It is wide (it’s very comfortable), it has 2 showers (one in the cockpit and the other one inside), everything is quite fresh and is in excellent condition, there’s tiller control (plenty of space in the cockpit, maintainability, sensitive control), a good modern engine, the sails are in good condition etc.
The boat is completely ready to sail.
Although it has a fin keel, it is quite long, a rudder blade is protected with a skeg, all these shows that it is a good cruiser, it is not scary to go to the ends of the world on a sailboat like this.
