Review of Najad 343

Basic specs..

Najad 343 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD17D diesel engine at 35.0 hp (26 kW), which gives a max speed about 6.2 knots.

The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenence than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.

The fuel tank which is made of stainless steel has a capacity of 200 liters (52 US gallons, 43 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Najad 343 is 1.80, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.2 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Najad 343 is about 194 kg/cm, alternatively 1086 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 194 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1086 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Najad Yachts

Originally founded by Berndt Arvidsson and Thorwald Karlsson in Kungsviken on the island of Orust, Sweden. They spent a number of years fitting out boats for other builders until they commissioned the design, and created the tooling for their first boat under their own brand, the NAJAD 34.

Previous Models

The beginning of Najad, in 1970,  Torwald Karlsson and I called Olle Enderlein who said: “Of course I will draw you a fine boat, how big should it be?” – “Around 10 meters” we said, and he made an outline proposal that we extended, expanded and changed. After all, one wants to have as much volume as possible in a boat, a little too much sometimes. In the end, we settled upon a design that was 10.30m long and 3.10m wide.

The smallest Najad boat was the Najad 320. She is 32 feet in length but as spacious as most 34 footers. She is a genuine Najad throughout. From the long keel giving the best smooth sailing characteristics to the safe and beautiful teak laid decks and the rich satin-finished mahogany down below. The Najad 320 has been designed for extended cruising.

The Najad 320 will help you fulfil your happiest dreams.

The basic difference relating to the interior  of a Najad compared to other yachts is the well designed and proven layout. Considerable attention to detail and finish of the woodwork is paid. A yacht which you are going to use as your home and that will work well and suit your requirements must allow you the choice of customization. This requires a good basic layout.

The berths must be both comfortable and in pleasing surroundings. Would you like a cosy atmosphere in which to welcome friends? The Najad 330 fulfils this requirement.

In the Najad 331  Najad have created a yacht with excellent sailing performance without compromising any of the traditional Najad qualities. The Najad 331 is not only impressive to sail, it has a well-designed layout, featuring two large cabins, in the bow and aft, enabling four people to live comfortable on board. The outstanding precision and high quality of finish is typical of the Najad yard which has 25 years of knowledge and experience.

On the outside the Najad 332 features the new style with the thin side stripe and double waterlines, giving the impression of a lower freeboard, accentuating her shear lines and giving prominence to her raised bow, with fine entry. Despite the potential constraints of her LOA, the 332’s cockpit is provisioned to accept wheel or tiller steering equally well, this space benefits from excellent weather protection from the stylish windshield on top of the coach roof, being a signature feature of Najad.

Najad 340 is built for long and pleasant  stays both in port and at sea. The stable and modern hull with its elegant lines makes the Najad 340 excellent in light winds and provides it with incredible safety even in bad weather.

The area below deck is spacious and gives maximum comfort. Hand polished mahogany and outstanding craftsmanship gives the Najad a classic good look and provides it with high quality.

The Najad 343 is just as safe and secure to sail in the open sea as she is to handle among jetties, boats and skerries. At sea it’s her long keel that gives her calm and gentle manners. In port it’s her separate skeg and rudder that make her simple and handy to turn and manoeuvre.

Welcome below deck! Step down the broad companionway into a spacious and airy saloon that you’d only expect to find on much larger boats.

Note the first-class workmanship as you inspect the fittings. Enjoy the rounded, smooth surfaces that have been formed by skilled hands. Let your eyes rest on the satin-smooth finish of the dark-red mahogany woodwork. Try out the sofa seat cushions covered in beautiful, hardwearing plush.

This is a home to be proud of.

The Najad 355 – Sailing performance beyond what you might expect from a safe and comfortable cruising yacht. Some facts: The strong well-dimensioned hull is designed to offer first-class sailing without encroaching on interior space or Najad’s state of the art safety.

Thoughtful use of space  and excellent facilities are two things that characterise Najad 360.

In every detail, you feel the expertise behind this craftsmanship and there’s no coincidence that Najad 360 is one of the most popular in its class.

We have improved the sailing performance  of the Najad 361 without compromising the comfort and safety for long-distance cruise. The yacht now has a greater waterline together with a longer overhang at the stern, the top and lower shrouds are moved inboard narrowing the sheeting angel enabling the yacht to sail closer to the wind. The Najad 361 has a completely new underwater configuration.

Now fitted with a bolt-on lead keel and a semi-balanced rudder designed with NACA wing sections thus ensuring that there is an optimum water passage passing the hull and improving the efficiency of the steering. A small wing at the bottom of the keel reduces the water flow beneath the keel which result in less drag.

With a Najad 370 you can fulfil your longing for freedom and dreams of long-distance cruising becomes a reality. The Najad 370 is the yacht that has been designed after many miles of experience and allowa considerable possibilities for the purchaser to incorporate a personal touch. The Najad 370 is a true long-distance cruiser from Najad- varvet on Orust in Sweden.

Najad 371 is designed for long cruises  and long periods at sea, and of course to go just over the day.

That ́s why she has three superb cabins with space enough to move dress and store personal claims, and with doors to close when privacy is sought in the mist of company.

The Najad 373 is a very desirable yacht, good enough to excite the jaded palate of the most experienced boat tester. She will turn heads wherever she sails, and cries out for an owner who will put her to hard use, whether it be local cruising or crossing oceans, and is able to spend time cherishing her fine finish and practical design.

Despite the fact that she is much better performer than past Najads, she is not the quickest boat afloat – which just means you spend more time at sea enjoying her good points: comfortable sea berths, secure galley, soft ride and light steering, among others.

Traditional values contemporary performance.

One of our most successful yacht designs ever – the Najad 380 is not only a well proportioned and beautiful looking yacht, but offers true ocean-going performance.

Built using vacuum infusion, for a strong and ‘stiff’ hull, while two large double-berth cabins, a spacious saloon and fully equipped linear galley make life onboard extremely comfortable.

N380 Aphrodite

For many years, cruiser design has taken its inspiration from racing. This caused us to think ”Why not take a completely different tack?”

That is, build new yachts that evoke the aesthetic of yesteryear but that take full advantage of modern-day technology.

Which is exactly what we did. We created a completely new range of Aphrodite yachts, for people who appreciate classic beauty and are looking for something out of the ordinary.

Najad 390 is a boat  for long trips and long periods at sea and in port. She is fast and stiff, and has a cockpit that provides protection and security even when the weather is against. She has room for many guests, but is still easy to handle and take care when you’re only two. She is built for the open seas, with a long keel safe, yet manoeuvrable enough for the solitary nature of the port still be accessible.

She has a large flat deck with non-slip teak. Below deck, she is a warm and exclusive residence for people who want to live and stay with comfort and convenience, even at sea.

We pay a lot of attention  to the interior layout of our yachts because we feel that it must be practical at sea as well as comfortable in the harbour. To achieve this, Najad have utilised the space to provide ample storage and a safe working environment which well suit both long-distance and weekend sailors.

The style and finish of the mahogany interior is very special and gives the boat a natural feeling of quality.

The new N400 model  will offer a generous aft cabin and full standing height in the walkway aft as well as in the galley. It will also give the possibility of double aft cabins as well as for a second heads compartment with shower in the forepeak. Depending on each owner’s preferences the yacht interior is semi-customised between all options offered.

Mid-range cruising style.

Inheriting the same Najad family genes from more recent new launches, the new Najad 405 is a natural development of the outgoing N400. The rig is taller, in line with the overall enhanced performance and sportier characteristics now set in space across all of Najad ́s newest model range. The balanced spade rudder will have no skeq and offer a light feeling to the helm, making for easier tacking and less stressful close quarter manoeuvres.

At Najad, when we create a new yacht, we don’t take shortcuts. The new Najad 410 has been developed in several steps over a few years, as she evolved into the yacht we are presenting on the following pages.

The Najad 410 is based on our experiences from some of Najad’s most successful recent models. Her predecessor, the Najad 405, was a success when she broke the Scandinavian traditionalism with her fast-sailing, manoeuvrable hull developed by judel/vrolijk & co and her light, modern interior, designed by Rhoades Young Designs.

The Najad 411 is iconic to Najad . With its modern yet well-composed lines, she stands out in the Najad family. With a spacious amidships cockpit, well-adapted rounded windscreen and an overall larger appearance profile than some of our other boats, the Najad 411 has exactly the same qualities in terms of comfort, safety and performance that customers can expect from all Najad boats Elongated flush-mounted windows along the side reinforce the long, elegant appearance and, with its well-balanced hull and excellent sailing qualities, we believe that the Najad 411’s performance is every bit as good as her looks.

Inside, the layout is spacious with good-sized double cabins fore and aft and a longitudinal galley with plenty of room for cooking. The tables and saloon are easily accessible.

The Najad 411 is not only a beauty queen, she is also a very capable cruiser for the modern sailor.

If your desire  is to cruise anywhere and to use a yacht as your home the Najad 420 is the ultimate choice. She is safe and comfortable with a good sailing performance.

These are the conclusions of more than 1000 yachtsmen who are now Najad owners. Najad 420 is a true long-distance cruiser from the Najad- varvet on Orust in Sweden.

Najad 440 is  a fast cruiser for sailors with high standard and high conditions in comfort both at sea and in harbour.

The hull is slim, and this makes her fast even in low wind conditions. At the same time, this is a boat for everyone, from a small crew to a big family.

Sharing the same hull and underwater appendages as her Centre Cockpit sister, the Najad 440 Aft-Cockpit is a very attractive looking yacht and is generally regarded as the more ‘sporty’ version of the two. For an enthusiastic crew, the most visually striking aspect is likely to be the large ‘Mediterranean-style’ cockpit with twin helm stations. With this much space available, the cockpit is also a very sociable place to entertain family and friends when either underway or when lying to anchor in a quiet bay.

The contemporary hull shape offers fine performance matched with unrivalled comfort and space. The epitome of a Najad.

One of the immediately striking characteristics of the Najad 441 is the large, flush teak deck, which gives the yacht its classic lines and also makes it easy and safe to work on the yacht. The cockpit is spacious and is protected by a fixed, toughened glass windscreen which is further enhanced by sprayhood that folds flat when not in use.

The hull has been completely redesigned and the addition of the NACA winged keel and a semi-balanced rudder provides enchanted sailing performance.

Th e Najad 460 is available with an amidships cockpit and is therefore the ultimate cruiser. The 460 is undoubtedly a stylish and powerful world cruiser in every respect. The cockpit is superbly protected thanks to the windscreen made from tempered glass set in stainless steel frames.

With slightly more interior volume than the 440 CC there are different options available to allow you, as the owner, to specify the ideal yacht for your needs.

There are several interior design options available for the Najad 460. One option provides up to 6 berths, consisting of a large owners’ cabin at the aft and a further two cabins in the forepart of the boat: one double and one with bunks. The fore and aft cabins have separate toilet and shower areas.

N460 Aphrodite

The legacy from the legendary yachts built on the Swedish island of Orust is plain to see. The hull’s soft sweeping forms are a pleasure to the eye. A deck of teak is just as obvious a choice as a super-structure of mahogany. Old-fashioned fresh air vents and a wooden steering wheel are details that make for an attractive overall look. A solid construction in every respect ensures a smooth and stable passage through the water. Rig and hardware are first rate.

Designing a sailing yacht,  capable of sailing all over the world and at the same time being comfortable and safe for the crew, requires a great experience of long distance cruising yachts. The result is the Najad 490. A 49 foot sailing yacht with a powerful, extremely seaworthy hull of modern design.

According to the ancient Greek mythology,  a Najad was a divine female creature that seduced men and women into the water. Today Najads still ensnare the hearts of sailors.

“A perfect fast ocean cruiser, with a light feeling on the helm, beautiful outside, fantastic inside: how can you not fall in love with her?” ( Yachting World ).

As you can see, times change, but some things stay the same.

N511 Aphrodite

Down in the cabin you’ll find qu ality craftsmanship, executed with extreme attention to detail. A classically designed mahogany interior. Cosy but light, with unsurpassed comfort. Lighting fittings and hardware of brass have just the right feel. Dimensions are generous and the layout is particularly well considered. It’s a place where you’ll be happy to spend time.

Aphrodite are yachts for a small and exclusive set of sailors, a select group of boat lovers who value tradition and history.

Designing a sailing yacht,  capable of sailing all over the world and at the same time being comfortable and safe for the crew, requires a great experience of long-distance cruising yachts.

The result is Najad 520. A 52 foot sailing yacht with a powerful, extremely seaworthy hull of modern design and with an IMS rating of 611.

N520 Deck Saloon

The size and the volume on the Najad 520  allow a very flexible resolution. To increase flexibility and to get more out of the interior of the hull, we created Najad 520 Deck Saloon.

Najad 390: A pedigree cruiser for serious sailing

• Rachael Sprot
• May 19, 2022

Thirty-nine feet is often thought of as the golden size for short-handed cruising. Rachael Sprot tests the Najad 390 to find out if it hits the mark

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

When I was 11 my mother put her foot down: ‘We’re moving to the coast, downsizing the house and buying a sailing boat. You’re all going to learn how to sail’, she stated, matter-of-factly.

Somewhat reluctantly, we did.

Fortunately for her, my father, Edward, whose main priorities in life are toast and marmalade, Wagner and the Great Outdoors, adopted the plan with good grace.

My sister and I were less enthused. ‘You’ll be grateful for it one day’, we were told.

She found a one-off ¾ tonner, Polar Bear .

A wooden boat with a racing pedigree, she sailed like a dream, with looks to match.

The Najad 390 is easy to handle under power and to sail shorthanded. Credit: Richard Langdon

The process of dragging a landscape gardener, stroppy children and a seasick whippet sailing gave her plenty of material to write about.

She became a regular contributor to Yachting Monthly and we spent the holidays exploring the English Channel and Biscay .

For my sister and me, this involved trying to look as busy as possible to avoid the dreaded phrase ‘I’ve got a nice little job for you girls’ – aka fender-scrubbing.

To my horror, we ended up on the front cover of Yachting Monthly one month (Nov 2001), which my geography teacher took great delight in showing to the class.

So when the opportunity came to review their second boat, Pelonia , a Najad 390, I jumped at the chance.

It’s been two decades coming but revenge is a dish best served cold.

Time for an upgrade

After almost 20 years the annual ritual of sanding and painting Polar Bear lost its appeal.

The foredeck crew had flown the (crow’s) nest and they wanted a boat with more space for living on board.

Despite a huge list of upgrades which transformed the boat for cruising, it was time to look for something more comfortable.

Miranda Delmar-Morgan was one of the first women to become a professional skipper, working on large classic yachts on the Transatlantic circuit until she met her now husband, landscape gardener Edward Sprot. Together they’ve cruised in the UK, Baltic and Biscay, and she’s trying to persuade him to set off for the Caribbean. Credit: Richard Langdon

However, as Marshall McLuhan said, first we shape our tools and thereafter they shape us.

Whether they liked it or not, Polar Bear was imprinted on my parents’ sailing sub-conscious.

If you’ve ever witnessed someone else’s boat-buying process, you’ll know it’s utterly incomprehensible from the outside.

One week it must be blue with two loos, the next red with a fin and skeg. It’s a battle between heart and head and even more complicated as a couple.

Miranda’s priorities were a good sailing pedigree and classic look and feel.

The Najad 390 will easily deliver 6 knots, and her large rudder is nicely balanced. Credit: Richard Langdon

Edward, now with his own views on the matter, wanted a decent-sized bunk, plenty of headroom and better toast and marmalade facilities.

After many months of searching, Pelonia came along (red with a skeg).

Despite being 30 years old, she was immaculate and had good ocean sailing credentials.

Her long fin keel is encapsulated, the rudder is well-protected by the skeg and a deep fore-foot means she doesn’t pound to windward.

Belts and braces

The Lloyds-approved hull is single-skin laminate so there’s no foam sandwich for water to infiltrate.

The flush decks are devinyl cell making them light and strong.

Najad’s high construction standards should reduce the risk of moisture ingress here.

Flush decks are a little old-fashioned but they’re easy to move around on and give a clean foredeck area to work on.

They allow you to lash the dinghy on the foredeck instead of towing it or adding davits.

The addition of a wind generator makes the boat more self-sufficient, and a radar tower prevents too much weight up the mast. Credit: Richard Langdon

The windlass is well protected in the anchor well and the chain locker has good access from above, so there’s no need to wrestle with a muddy anchor chain inside the boat.

The shrouds are evidence of Najad’s belts and braces approach.

With fore and aft lowers there’s plenty of support and the leads are spread across three sets of chain plates.

Another feature which gives her age away is the fact that all the lines are at the mast. This has its upsides and downsides.

It came into its own during a Yachting Monthly man overboard trial when being able to control a halyard at the mast allowed a single person to manage both the casualty and the winch.

Other scenarios where it is useful not to have to go back to the cockpit would be lifting a tender out of the water at the shrouds, or hoisting the spinnaker .

High coamings on the Najad 390 makes the cockpit secure. Credit: Richard Langdon

On the other hand, you need to leave the safety of the cockpit to adjust anything on your sails, apart from the sheets.

This is a drawback if you’re running solo watches where in certain conditions it would be inadvisable to go to the mast without the other person on deck.

There are excellent granny bars around the mast and a high grab-rail leading forwards from the cockpit though.

Combined with proper gunwales and solid teak capping, you feel surprisingly secure making the journey forwards.

The rubbing strakes with their bronze coping bars, substantial stainless steel stem band and teak deck all give her a feeling of quality.

The centre cockpit positions the mainsheet behind the helm, keeping the cockpit clear and allows you to quickly sheet out in a gust.

Granny bars at the mast make line-handling easier in heavy weather. Credit: Richard Langdon

It also means that a full cockpit tent can be fitted, greatly extending the living area in wet weather.

Like many Scandinavian boats, the Najad 390 has a fixed windscreen which gives good protection from the elements.

They weren’t sure about it in the beginning, but Miranda explained that ‘We hit a standing wave off Fair Head in Northern Ireland at 13 knots, and after the green water had subsided we were impressed to find it was still there,’ so they’re quite taken with it now.

You don’t want all the Great Outdoors indoors, after all.

The cockpit is clutter-free owing to the mast-led halyards.

There’s a generous locker on the starboard side which accommodates all the lines and cruising paraphernalia.

All lines are worked from the mast on the Najad 390. Credit: Richard Langdon

The aft deck is another excellent working (or lounging) space with plenty of room for things such as a wind generator and antennas.

The stern platform on the back includes a set of swimming steps and makes it easy to get in and out of the tender.

Below decks there’s enough mahogany to satisfy the most ardent wooden boat enthusiast – the quality of Najad joinery stands out even amongst other Scandinavian yachts.

The saloon is generous and they’ve had 10 on board for dinner.

Both saloon seats convert to double bunks by lifting up the seat-back, taking her accommodation up to eight.

There are copious lockers, which makes it easy to organise stores.

A drawback of the flush decks is that despite the hull portlights and central hatch, there’s less light in the saloon than on a yacht with a coach roof.

The saloon has a generous 6ft 2in of headroom. Credit: Richard Langdon

In warmer climes it’s not an issue, you need a respite from the sun, and in colder climes she feels warm and cosy, but she’s not as bright as a modern yacht.

There is 6ft 2in headroom though, and the saloon berths are 6ft 5in long. The v-berth forwards has plenty of space beneath for sails, and generous locker space within the cabin.

‘I’m glad they haven’t put drawers under the bunk’, said Miranda. She’s firmly of the belief that the forepeak is for the sail wardrobe and not your own.

A place for everything

The forward-facing chart table has a chart locker under the deck head which is a great feature for traditionalists.

Miranda regularly reminds us that the chart table drawers aren’t half as big as Polar Bear ’s. She employs the ‘it might just come in handy’ philosophy and never throws anything away.

The compact chart table has supplementary chart stowage under the deckhead. Credit: Richard Langdon

The heads is small but adequate and scores extra points for the wet locker which is supplied with hot air from the Eberspächer.

As with most centre cockpit yachts the galley is laid out down one side; on Pelonia , it is to port.

The space is really well laid-out with a huge fridge and plenty of room for marmalade.

Inboard of the galley is the capacious engine compartment.

Two doors on the side of the compartment swing open and lift off to give excellent access to the port and aft sides. Removing the companionway steps gives access to the front.

The cockpit sole has a ‘soft patch’ which would allow the engine to be craned straight out.

The L-shaped galley is well laid out with a fiddled worktop area. Credit: Richard Langdon

It may only be used once or twice in the boat’s lifetime, but when it is, you’ll earn endless respect from the engineer that does the job.

The only complaint is that on the starboard side it would be useful to have a hatch in the heads to give better access to the oil filter.

And now to the aft cabin. It’s nothing short of decadent.

In fact, it’s been described as ‘too big’ by the more puritanical owner, who would like more locker space for fenders.

The two halves of the double bunk are both 3ft wide, light streams through the deck hatch and there’s even a flip-up dressing table.

3ft-wide berths and plenty of light makes the aft cabin bright and airy. Credit: Richard Langdon

The only problem, and it’s a big problem, is that access to the top of the rudder stock is under the bunk.

The emergency tiller is only operable from below decks and although steering from the comfort of your bunk might sound appealing, the novelty will probably wear off.

In case of steering failure, the autopilot , rather than the emergency tiller, will be the first recourse, so it must be kept operational.

Under sail Pelonia performs well.

She’s fairly heavy for her size but with her fully-battened main and 17% sail area to displacement ratio she’s got plenty of get-up-and-go.

As an understated fast cruiser with racing potential and a nicely appointed interior, the Maxi 1100 has much to recommend…

She made 6 knots close-hauled with 15 knots apparent and as we bore away and the apparent wind dropped, she maintained over 6 knots on a beam and broad reach.

When the wind dropped off later in the day she made 5.3 knots close-hauled in 10 knots apparent, which is very respectable for a boat that is also heavy-weather proof and comfortable to live aboard.

A removable inner forestay for a working staysail has been added by many owners including Edward and Miranda.

The huge 150% genoa which they inherited was unwieldy and rarely fully unfurled, so they had a 120% genoa made and a working jib, bringing the headsail count to four white sails plus a storm jib.

On the helm her large rudder is nicely balanced, she’s a pleasure to sail and she handles her canvas well.

You won’t achieve the downwind speeds of a flat-bottomed modern cruiser, but she’ll keep up 6 knots whatever weather comes her way.

She tracks well on her long-ish fin keel making life easier for crew and autopilot. She’s an excellent passage-making boat.

‘We arrive much less tired than we used to on Polar Bear . We can do an 80-mile passage and don’t spend the next day recovering,’ Miranda explained.

Under power the 60HP Volvo Penta has plenty of oomph. We made 5.8 knots at 2,000RPM, and 7 knots at 2,500.

She’s certainly no angel in a marina though.

It takes quite a run-up to establish steerage in reverse, but eventually she’ll follow her rudder obediently.

She’s better at straight lines than tight circles and you can’t have it both ways.

The bow thruster helps, although at 30 years old its occasional malfunction has been the subject of some colourful Whatsapp chats!

Like all ocean sailing boats, their suitability doesn’t stop at the hull, rig and interior.

Pelonia has had endless upgrades to adapt her for long-term cruising: a new bimini, wind generator and solar panels to name a few.

Knowing the time and expense that goes into installing these, it’s worth buying a boat that’s already set-up.

Nonetheless, the Najad 390 has been a very successful compromise. But is there anything they miss about Polar Bear ? ‘The forehatch’, said Miranda, ‘ Pelonia ’s is far too small to move big sails in and out of.’

Polar Bear came with five headsails and Pelonia ’s wardrobe has almost caught up.

I tried to explain that not everyone changes their headsails around these days, they just roll them up but it was to no avail: ‘There’s nothing worse than sailing around with the wrong canvas up’, You can take the sailor out of the classic racing yacht, but you can’t take the classic racing yacht out of the sailor.

Our tools don’t just shape us, they shape the next generation of tools as well.

Expert opinion on the Najad 390

Ben Sutcliffe-Davies, Marine Surveyor and full member of the Yacht Brokers Designers & Surveyors Association (YDSA) www.bensutcliffemarine.co.uk

Ben Sutcliffe- Davies has been in the marine industry for over 40 years as a long- time boat builder, has been surveying craft for over 20 years and is a Full Member of the YDSA.

The materials used on the Najad 390 are excellent.

I’ve personally not carried out a pre-purchase survey on one but have inspected a couple for other reasons.

Pay attention to the decks. The teak decks were screwed down through the GRP deck moulding which is a core sandwich construction using a PVC-type devinyl cell as spacing material.

This was used for its reported strength and heat insulation, but keeping the yacht long-term in sub-zero temperatures will start detachment of any wet core, allowing working decks to soften.

Look at the mast step arrangement to check the condition of the core pad within the encapsulation; an easy check is looking closely at the deck step with a straight edge.

Rudders and skegs are susceptible to moisture ingress on a boat of this age and should be carefully inspected.

Having spoken to one of the Najad 390’s former builders, I’ve discovered that this model has an encapsulated keel, but there were options of having either iron or lead laid in.

The majority were reportedly filled with iron ingots and not lead. The use of a magnet is really the only way to know what is inside!

All were capped off with a mixture of sand and resin.

Over time there is a risk of moisture causing expansion of the iron ingots, especially if the craft gets an unintended grounding.

I’ve had several experiences of iron-filled keels with detachment so a proper assessment of the keel is essential.

Alternatives to the Najad 390 to consider

The cutter rig means the boat performs well to windward. Credit: Colin Work

Bowman is one of the few yards to produce sailing yachts purely for ocean passages.

The Bowman 40 was one of several iconic blue-water cruisers which has a long and successful history.

Originally designed by Laurent Giles with a long keel and transom-hung rudder, a second version from the 1980s was drawn by Chuck Paine after Bowman merged with Rival.

The model was so successful that it went on to become the Bowman 42.

Cutter-rigged, the Paine Bowman 40 had a fairly long Scheel Keel to keep draft to a minimum and give good course-keeping abilities.

However, there will be a small sacrifice in windward performance compared to the Najad 390 or Hallberg-Rassy.

The hull has a traditional, deep forefoot as you’d expect from a serious cruising yacht of this era.

There’s a skeg-hung rudder giving you more protection in case of any encounters with orca whales.

The raised coachroof and deep gunwales make the side decks feel safe and contained and the aft cockpit is deep and secure.

The mainsheet and traveller are forwards of the companionway.

Running backstays, which are a necessary part of the cutter rig, make tacking a little more laborious but offer redundancy in case of backstay failure.

Below decks the interior joinery is teak, which is a little lighter and more golden than mahogany.

It’s a luxury that you’d be unlikely to find in modern yachts as it’s prohibitively expensive and unsustainable.

The galley has the best position of all of these yachts, it’s well forwards and almost part of the saloon.

The engine is beneath the central counter, keeping weight in the middle of the boat for better seakeeping.

The payoff for the generous saloon and galley area is in the cabins.

There’s a single (on some models as it was offered as an option) and double aft cabin.

As is always the case with aft cockpit yachts the berths are tucked under the cockpit sole and feel cramped in comparison.

The master cabin is forwards with a separate heads.

Several hulls were sold and finished by owners, so the interiors vary, and some seem to have been converted to sloop rigs, which is a shame when there are so few cutters available.

It should be straightforward to convert them back.

Hallberg-Rassy 39

The Hallberg-Rassy 39 Mk1 version has a counter stern

If you put a coachroof on the Najad 390 you’d end up with something very like the Hallberg-Rassy 39.

First built in 1991 the model comes in a Mk1 and Mk 2 version, the former having a counter stern and the latter with a small sugar-scoop and bathing platform.

Over 200 hulls have been made and they’re a very popular offshore cruiser. The underwater profile is a long-ish fin keel which is bolted on rather than being encapsulated.

There’s a part skeg on the rudder and nice deep forefoot. There was a shoal draft version available which has a slightly better AVS at 125° instead of 123°.

A removable inner forestay came as standard, allowing you to set a storm jib when necessary, whilst still enabling the foredeck to be used for the tender.

Like the Najad 390, there’s a centre-cockpit and master aft cabin with a large cockpit locker on the starboard side.

Thanks to the coach-roof there’s 6ft 6in head room in the saloon. The interior joinery is mahogany, which creates a traditional feel.

For those that like them, there’s the option of two armchairs in the saloon, rather than a standard bench seat.

The galley is set up differently: it’s U-shaped and aft-facing to starboard of the companionway.

It would be secure in a seaway but has less storage and work surface compared to the Najad 390, and some people dislike the reverse orientation.

The aft cabin has a double berth to one side and single to the other, and together they take up the full width of the boat.

It’s a slightly odd configuration and perhaps a bit more storage and bit less bunkage would have been useful.

Westerly Sealord

Generous side decks make the cockpit feel secure. Credit: David Harding

At the more accessible end of the market the Westerly Sealord is a good option.

They came in a ketch or sloop rig with a centre cockpit and an aft cabin that had its own heads.

Westerly are renowned for making robust hulls, some of which have made  extraordinary voyages.

The Sealord was their largest model at the time of construction and designed as a performance cruiser.

42 Sealords were made in the mid 1980s before the back half of the boat was extended by 15in to give a bigger aft cabin, creating the better-known Oceanlord.

The hull is solid laminate and the decks are sandwich construction with PVC foam.

The bolt-on fin keel, spade rudder and lack of inner forestay for rigging a storm jib are detractions for die-hard ocean sailors.

At 20% lighter than her Scandinavian equivalents, she’ll be faster in light airs .

Originally designed with a 36HP Volvo, some models were produced with a 28HP engine which many owners upgraded.

The layout below is excellent. The saloon is smaller than the other boats in this selection but it leaves room for a generous nav station and galley.

At half a metre wider than the Najad 390, there’s also space for a twin cabin with bunk beds under the starboard side decks which doubles as the access route to the aft cabin.

The interior is teak-veneered ply with solid teak trim. Some examples need TLC and the overall feel of the boat is less luxurious.

But if it’s the thrills and not the frills you’re after then the Sealord is an excellent choice.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

On April 21, Rosenergoatom obtained a license issued by Rostekhnadzor to construct the Yakutsk land-based SMR in the Ust-Yansky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

ROSATOM and FEDC agree to cooperate in the construction of Russia's first onshore SNPP

ROSATOM and FEDC have signed a cooperation agreement to build Russia's first onshore SNPP in Yakutia.

Rosatom develops nuclear fuel for modernized floating power units

Rosatom has completed the development of nuclear fuel for the RITM-200S small modular reactor designed for the upgraded floating power units.
