Najad 360

NAJAD 360 – 1986

A remarkably modern Scandinavian cruising yacht

Royal Nautisme offers you this Najad 360 from 1986, serial number 29 of the series, a long-range cruising yacht built by the renowned Swedish manufacturer Najad, based on plans attributed to naval architect Thorwald Karlsson.

Known for its high-quality construction, robustness, and excellent offshore sailing capabilities, the Najad 360 embodies the craftsmanship of Scandinavian shipyards. Its protected central cockpit, timeless elegant lines, and warm interior finishes make it particularly suitable for long-distance cruising, whether with family or a small crew.

This particular vessel is distinguished by extensive renovation and modernization work carried out between 2022 and 2025, encompassing engine replacement, electrical systems, navigation electronics, maneuvering equipment, onboard comfort, and general maintenance.

Recent engine upgrade: Yanmar 40 HP – 149 hours

One of the main assets of this Najad 360 is its recent engine replacement with a Yanmar 3JH40 of 40 HP, which has only operated for 149 hours.
This upgrade included a comprehensive overhaul of the propulsion system, including a new shaft line, a flexible Sigmadrive coupling, a three-blade fixed propeller, and a new engine control.

Peripheral equipment has also been replaced or serviced, and the fuel system has been cleaned and serviced.

This modern engine provides a major advantage for buyers seeking a reliable, long-range cruiser suitable for extended voyages.

Modernized navigation electronics

The vessel benefits from a largely renewed electronic setup, including:

- Raymarine Element 12 GPS plotter
- Raymarine i70s multifunction display
- Updated sensors and navigation instruments
- Navicom VHF
- NMEA network with Wi-Fi interface

These features enhance ease of use and navigation, especially with a reduced crew.

Extensively renovated electrical system

Significant work has been undertaken to modernize the onboard electrical network:
- Overhaul of the electrical panel and major wiring
- Installation of Victron equipment
- Mastervolt battery charger
- Replacement of engine and service batteries
- Improved distribution and charging circuits

These upgrades represent a valuable investment for a vessel of this age.

Maneuvering equipment suited for long-range cruising

The Najad 360 is equipped with features facilitating maneuvers both in port and at anchor:
- Recently installed bow thruster (2024–2025)
- Lofrans electric windlass 1500 W with remote control
- Replaced anchor chain
- Modifications to genoa tracks and cars
- Downhaul covers and lazy bag

The bow thruster is particularly appreciated on this type of yacht with a central cockpit.

Interior comfort and layout

True to Swedish craftsmanship traditions, the Najad 360 offers a warm interior, characterized by quality woodwork and meticulous fittings.

The boat has benefited from numerous upgrades to enhance onboard comfort:
- Eberspächer forced-air heating 2 kW
- ENO stove with oven and grill
- Upgraded refrigeration system
- Various maintenance and interior equipment improvements
- Varnish refinishing on woodwork

These features make this Najad 360 a pleasant yacht to live aboard, suitable for summer cruises and extended voyages.

Deck, rigging, and hull maintenance

Extensive maintenance and renovation work has also been completed:
- Hull sanding and removal of old anti-fouling layers
- Painting job and system overhaul in 2023–2024
- Inspection of chainplates sealing
- Work on deck panels and various rigging fittings
- Maintenance and replacement of several maneuvering equipment

The teak deck is in good condition, as are the sails, contributing to the overall presentation of this unit.

A particularly attractive Najad 360 on the market

Najad yachts are appreciated for their excellent build quality, sailing performance, and ability to support their owners in serious offshore navigation projects.

With its Yanmar engine with only 149 hours and the extensive work carried out in recent years, "Tir Na Nog" stands out from similar units of the same generation through its level of modernization and equipment.

It offers a great opportunity for a navigator seeking a characterful, comfortable, and robust Scandinavian yacht without the need to undertake significant immediate modernization work, as has already been done on this vessel.

A high-quality long-range cruising yacht worth discovering to appreciate the full extent of the investments made.
