The ‘mini superyacht’: meet the Najad 395 AC

• Graham Snook
• July 15, 2020

Brand new from the lead keel up, Najad's new 395 and her centre-cockpit sister are billed as 'mini superyachts'. At 40ft, do they live up to the promise? Graham Snook finds out

The Najad 395 AC has a single deep spade rudder for good control

Product Overview

Najad 395 ac.

• Exceptional build quality
• Good detailing
• Comfortable ride
• High freeboard
• Mainsheet crosses seating
• Lacks deck stowage (this layout option)

Manufacturer:

Price as reviewed:.

The Najad 395 AC is the Swedish boatyard’s first all-new boat for some time, but not the first to offer both aft cockpit and centre cockpit on the same hull.

There have been revamps of models with the changes of the company’s ownership, but the eagerly awaited 395 is not only new from her lead keel up, she’s the first Najad designed by Farr Yacht Design with a Ken Freivokh Design interior.

The lines of black glass hides the flush hatches that make the interior feel light and modern. Credit: Axel Nissen-Lie

Both these design companies have a vast portfolio of work from the superyacht market – one reason that she’s touted as a ‘mini-superyacht’.

The moniker has much to back it up, though, on the interior especially.

The galley is over 2m (6f 7in) long and is well designed for use at sea. The Corian top from the galley goes all the way to the forward bulkhead. Credit: Graham Snook

Few production yachts have as many styling details, carried off as well 
as they have on the 395.

Of course this detailing and workmanship doesn’t come cheap, even if she is voluminous for her length.

Performance

Sunshine easing its way though the hull windows 
and 9-14 knots of breeze rocking the boat woke me on the day of the test sail; better than the 20-30 knots the day before.

On the wind she’ll point to around 28-30º, but she was more comfortable, and sailed faster, a little freer.

Genoa sheets are led along the top of the coachroof, through the long handrails. Credit: Axel Nissen-Lie

She was soon making speeds 
of 6-7 knots, and was feeling more alive.

She has a regal air to her, and feels solid and graceful – rather than large and lumbering.

The mainsheet was aft of the helm, but has been moved forward. Credit: Graham Snook

She carries her way though tacks the reassuring way 
that moderate displacement yachts do.

I was worried how she would feel, given her 1.32m (4ft 4in) high topsides and raised cockpit, but you still feel like you’re in the boat rather than sailing on her.

Close-hauled out into the less-sheltered waters – where a swell was running from the wind the day before – she handled it with ease and gave a wonderfully comfy ride; her rounded forward sections cushioning the way ahead.

The optional electric winches and headsail furling could be controlled from the helm. Credit: Graham Snook

Bearing away 
and easing sheets, she picked up her skirt and jogged along nicely.

Speed and comfort don’t make good bedfellows, 
but she showed respectable figures while retaining her grace and composure throughout.

Her 80hp engine made 7.1 knots at 1800rpm – 57hp is standard.

The Test Verdict

For a 40ft yacht she costs a lot.

Now, that’s not to say she’s expensive; you get well specced and beautifully crafted yacht for your money; I struggled to find anywhere onboard where I could see quality had been compromised in favour of cost.

The two-part anchor lid is nice, but the electric furling restricts bow roller access. Credit: Graham Snook

Not even her displacement has been compromised at 12,400kg, she’s 800kg heavier than the substantial Sirius 40DS, no lightweight herself, and almost 1.5 tonnes heavier than the centre cockpit Hallberg Rassy 40MKII – compare that to 8,200kg of an equivalent size Bavaria and it’s easy to see she’s been built to be a comfortable home from home without compromise.

Her displacement gives her a wonderfully solid feel on the water, with no creeks or groans as she marches on.

She looks in proportion and purposeful – a surprise given the high topsides; she dwarfs many yachts and looked like a magpie compared to the other chicks in the Najad nest.

Would she suit you and your crew?

If you’re a couple that want to sail far an wide, with the odd occasional guests, I’d forego this layout and go for the single aft cabin and all the extra deck stowage that come with it.

This layout works more for an occasional offshore cruiser with more regular guests.

The use of different coloured and textured fabric gives the interior a stylish feel. Credit: Graham Snook

The Najad 395 AC is a wonderfully built boat that has a commanding feel on the water, few boats can compare.

If you’re after a centre cockpit version with a large owners aft cabin this is an option too.

She can be all things to those who can afford her.

The large forward cabin has the option of a vee berth or offset double, and an en-suite heads/shower or a walk-in wardrobe. Credit: Graham Snook

There are few production cruisers that can compete with the workmanship and overall quality of Najad; every aspect of her feels solid, from the door handles to the reading lights she oozes the refined opulence and quality, she’s has a tastefully a modern style about her built with traditional values.

In this cost-saving world quality is usually the first casualty, thankfully there are still companies where the quality of the product comes first.

Quality Swedish Craftsmanship – A Brief History of Najad Yachts

October 9th, 2023

The Najad Shipyard, in Henån on the island of Orust, is an iconic Swedish shipbuilding company located just a hop and a skip away from Berthon Scandinavia’s offices. Since its inception, Najad have been dedicated to constructing a diverse range of high quality cruising yachts from 30 to 60 feet. All are meticulously designed to provide not only an enjoyable sailing experience but also a source of delight for their owners, offering a balanced mix of performance, comfort and safety at sea.

The History of the Najad Shipyard

The Island of Orust and its surroundings has long been synonymous with the build of high quality sailing yachts and the island is also home to Hallberg-Rassy, Malö Yachts, Regina af Vindö and Sweden Yachts among others. With its shipbuilding legacy dating back to as early as the 12th century ** , Orust provided an ideal setting for the establishment of Najadvarvet AB by two dedicated yachtsmen, Berndt Arvidsson and Thorwald Karlsson, in 1967.

Najadvarvet’s journey began with the construction of the first Najad in 1971, a 34-foot yacht designed by Olle Enderlein. This yacht marked the beginning of their legacy in constructing high quality yachts, seamlessly blending reliable sailing performance with enduring, timeless design.

Bernt Arvidsson retired in 2005, and sold the yard to Alfred Van Wincoop from the Netherlands, with a minority shareholding held by an investor group headed by Berthon USA’s Alan Baines. During this time, several new models were introduced in rapid succession, with a new modern interior styling by Rhoades Young. These included the evergreen 440CC and AC, the 405, 355, 505 and of course the flagship of the range, the Najad 570. The US based investor group sold its holdings in early 2008 to new owners from the UK and Norway.

The financial crisis was brutal for the entire boatbuilding industry and the yard also suffered, hence Najadvarvet AB was acquired by Nord West Yachts. Renamed Najad AB in 2014, the yard has continued its commitment to building high quality bluewater cruising yachts, designed with a focus on ease of handling by a crew of two, and the capability for comfortable offshore sailing and planet circuits. The company has recently gone full circle and has bought back its original boatyard in Henån, where it currently has several new Najad 451’s in build as well as a thriving storage and service yard and marina with well over 200 yachts in storage. Unsurprisingly the majority of these are Najads.

Najad’s Current Yacht Range

Najad 395 (centre cockpit / aft cockpit).

The Najad 395 is a collaboration between Najad, Farr Yacht Design and Ken Freivokh Design. The interior has been thoughtfully designed with a choice of either a two or three cabin layout and with either one or two heads compartments. There is plenty of opportunity for customisation with a large optional inventory.

The 395CC is a modern bluewater cruising yacht with a spacious well-protected centre cockpit, that is perfect for safe and comfortable ocean crossings.

 Equally suited to long distance cruising or coastal cruising, the 395AC has a spacious Caribbean-style aft cockpit with twin helm positions.

Najad 505CC Next Generation

The Najad 505CC designed by Judel/Vrolijk is full of updates and improvements on previous Najads. With classic lines, this centre cockpit yacht excels on the water and added to the obvious Najad DNA comes a light and bright interior with easy handling and rewarding sailing performance.

Najad 451 (Centre Cockpit / Aft Cockpit)

Designed by Najad and Judel/Vrolijk & Co, the Najad 451 is a distinctive yacht. Despite being only 45 feet, she is remarkably efficient on the water and her helmsman will find her very responsive. The 451 delivers comfort below decks and a modern, elegant interior with clean lines, abundant natural light and masses of volume for her size.

The 451CC is designed with the focus on cruising in comfort from the safe, well-protected centre cockpit.

The 451AC , is an aft cockpit yacht with twin helms and is perfect for social cruising and island hopping. She also has a sunbed on the aft deck.

Najad 570CC

Thee 570CC is conceived and built to cross oceans, with straightforward technology for easy maintenance. She has a light and airy interior with sweeping deck saloon windows, open deck areas and twin helms in a fully enclosed cockpit.

Berthon & the Najad Brand

As a Brokerage House that specialises in high quality bluewater cruising yachts, Berthon have always been hugely enthusiastic about Najad yachts and our sailing brokers across all our international offices have extensive knowledge and experience of the Najad yacht brokerage market.

Berthon Scandinavia’s Managing Director, Magnus Kullberg, worked for Najad for 11 years before setting up his own yacht brokerage in 2011. During his 11-year tenure, he was involved in the production and development of both new and existing models and was also responsible for client interactions throughout the sales and build process. Needless to say, his knowledge of all things Najad is second to none.

Alan Baines’ love for Najad began during a tour of the Najad shipyard whilst selling a brokerage yacht at nearby Bröderna Martinsson Boatyard in 2002. This led to the establishment in 2002 of Scandinavian Yachts, a US based company in Newport, Rhode Island that was formed to represent and promote Najad Yachts in New England. In 2005, Alan took his involvement with Najad a step further, leading the investor group that purchased and held a 40% share of Najadvarvet until 2008. In 2010, Scandinavian Yachts merged with Berthon and became Berthon USA. Alan is the go to person to talk to about Najad in the USA today.
