MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

The Najad 420 is a true long distance cruiser from the Najadvaret on Orust in Sweden. The boatyard where our policy is to blend traditional boat building skills with the best of today’s technology in order to achieve the highest quality and performance. Our philosophy will be your guarantee for many memorable miles of trouble free sailing.

The basic difference relating to the interior of a Najad compared to other yachts is the well proven layout. Considerable attention is paid to detail and finish of the woodwork. A yacht which you are going to use as your home and that will work well and suite your requirements must allow you the choice of customisation. This requires a good basic layout. For example the stowage must have easy access, the galley should have large cupboard for fresh, cool and dry food together with stowage for all crockery and utensils. Ample work space for preparation is also important. The head must be a reasonable size and centrally located but at the same time be situated in an undisturbed position. To have a shower onboard is also essential. The berths must be both comfortable and in pleasing surroundings. Would you like to have a cosy atmosphere in which to welcome friends which to welcome friends? The Najad 420 fulfils this requirement.
