About the NAJAD 380
shallow draft: 1.65 m /5.41' Re-branded as the APHRODITE 38/380. (2008)
The Najad 380 is a fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Najad Yachts (SWE) starting in 2007, with an unknown total hull count. It features a displacement of 20062.0 lb and a LOA of 37.89 ft, combining performance-oriented ratios with robust construction typical of Swedish yacht building.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits experienced coastal cruisers and offshore adventurers who prioritize seaworthiness and comfort, as evidenced by the high frequency of bluewater-oriented upgrades like watermakers, solar panels, and heavy-duty anchor systems.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 20062.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.77, and a comfort ratio of 33.33, the Najad 380 exhibits strong offshore stability and motion comfort, supported by owner reports of extensive bluewater equipment installations.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Najad 340 and Najad 420, which share the same designer and builder lineage, offering similar fractional rig configurations and heavy-displacement characteristics for those seeking slightly smaller or larger platforms within the Najad range.
