1978 Najad 34, EUR 37,500

*photos to be added shortly

1978 Najad 34 aft cabin #131 "Carin" is seeking a new custodian.

Overall in very good condition with all systems updated/improved from original. She apparently spent a couple of decades in storage and it shows. Comprehensive refit ~10 years ago. Mechanical refit ~4 years ago (engine & bow thruster) Tall/regatta rig, tri-radial laminate sails, bow thruster, new Sole Mini 44 with ~900 hours and folding prop, everything you need to go coastal cruising now. Combination of half-keel with separate rudder, folding propeller and laminate sails in good shape provide surprising upwind performance.
Well maintained having just completed 3 months of cruising in Norway & Scotland including return North Sea crossing. Recent additions include float-free EPIRB and liferaft.
Currently sailing from west coast Norway to Denmark, available for inspection/sale along the way.
Priced for quick sale preferably prior to August 3.
