English
A Najad 441, built for comfortable blue-water sailing anywhere in the world and designed to be easily handled even for short handed adventures. The large flush teak decks give her classic lines as well as making it easy and safe to work on deck. This particular yacht has been lovingly and immaculately looked after. She is fully equipped for coastal, offshore and Ocean push button sailing with electric winches. A generator and generous tankage allows you to stay away from harbour for longer periods. Preventative maintenance, replacements and upgrades have been undertaken regularly, with no expense spared. Raymarine Autohelm and Seago life raft new this year.
