A remarkably modernized Scandinavian blue water cruising yacht
Royal Nautisme offers you this Najad 360 from 1986, number 29 in the series, a long-distance cruising sailboat built by the renowned Swedish shipyard Najad, on plans attributed to the naval architect Thorwald Karlsson.
Recognized for the quality of its construction, its robustness and its excellent offshore sailing skills, the Najad 360 embodies all the know-how of the Scandinavian shipyards. Its protected central cockpit, its elegant and timeless lines, as well as its warm fittings make it a sailboat particularly suitable for long-distance sailing, with the family or with a small crew.
This example stands out in particular for the importance of the renovation and modernisation work carried out between 2022 and 2025, concerning the engine as well as the electrical installations, navigation electronics, manoeuvring equipment, comfort on board and general maintenance of the boat.
A recent re-engine: Yanmar 40 HP – 149 hours:
One of the main advantages of this Najad 360 lies in its re-engined with a 40 HP Yanmar 3JH40, totalling only 149 hours of operation.

Various peripheral equipment has also been replaced or overhauled, while the fuel system has been the subject of interventions and cleaning of the tank.
