About the boat
Now there is an opportunity to acquire a very fine and well-equipped Najad 361 – a classic Swedish quality sailing yacht built for safe, comfortable, and long-term cruising. This particular example has been used for sailing and extended stays in the Mediterranean for a long time and offers an unusually well-thought-out level of equipment for self-sufficient boating, safety, and comfortable living on board. The combination of Najad’s renowned build quality, extensive upgrades, and long-term careful ownership makes this a very attractive example.
The boat was delivered new for long-distance sailing and early on undertook a longer journey to the West Indies before later being sailed via Europe’s canals to the Mediterranean, where she has had her home port for many years on Leros in the Greek archipelago. Today, the boat is located at the well-known Artemis Boatyard – a favored yard among many long-distance sailors and an excellent starting point for continued cruising in the eastern Mediterranean. The area around Leros, Patmos, Lipsi, and Kalymnos offers sheltered natural harbors, short day passages, and very varied sailing in a classic Greek setting.
The current Swedish owner acquired the boat in 2010 as the second owner and has since continued to develop and maintain the boat with a focus on functionality, operational reliability, and long-term sustainability. The boat was stored indoors until 2012 and has since been stored at the yard under a custom-made winter cover during the off-season in the Mediterranean. The overall impression is of a very well-cared-for boat that has been continuously updated and adapted for an active cruising life.
The Najad 361 is a model appreciated for its safe sea-keeping qualities, well-balanced hull, and high-quality feel in both construction and woodworking. This particular example is also equipped with a wing keel, providing a draft of only 1.59 meters while maintaining high keel weight – a favored solution for sailing in the Mediterranean and shallower natural harbors.
Onboard, one is greeted by a warm and cozy interior in classic Najad mahogany, where the saloon offers generous social spaces, a well-sized galley, and excellent comfort for longer stays onboard. The center cockpit layout provides a protected and secure cockpit, while the wide side decks and well-thought-out deck layout make the boat easy and safe to move around on, even during longer passages.
The boat is well-suited for long-distance sailing and self-sufficient boating life, with features such as solar panels, wind generator, inverter, extra engine generator, and preparation for a watermaker.
The navigation equipment is comprehensive, featuring a Raymarine Axiom plotter, autopilot, AIS, radar, Navtex, and shortwave radio with insulated backstay – equipment that clearly reflects the boat’s long-distance profile and previous ocean sailing.
The sail wardrobe includes a furling genoa, new mainsail from 2025, gennaker, storm jib, and cutter jib on an inner movable forestay. Together with Dyneema in the running rigging, lazy bag, Rodkick, and Andersen winches, a safe and well-functioning sail handling is offered for both leisure sailing and longer passages.
Externally, the boat also gives a very fine and well-maintained impression. The classic Najad hull with its characteristic lines, the protected center cockpit, and the well-kept teak decks give the boat a timeless and very appealing profile. Onboard, there is also a stainless steel and teak bowsprit, electric windlass, bimini, and targa arch for solar panels and wind generator – solutions that work very well for the Mediterranean life the boat is currently adapted for.
Overall, this is a very well-thought-out and well-equipped Najad 361 with a clear long-distance profile and documented careful ownership. For those seeking a classic quality boat ready for continued cruising in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, this example offers a very attractive overall package.
