Najad 343

The Najad 343 from 1983 is a safe and solidly built Orust sailing yacht, renowned for its sea-kindly behaviour and practical, secure centre cockpit. This example has been well cared for and updated, including a new cockpit canopy and sprayhood from 2025.

The newer Yanmar 3JH5E engine from 2012, combined with upgraded navigation equipment and a fresh sail inventory featuring a new furling genoa from 2025, provides both reliability and ease of handling. Below deck, the yacht offers a warm and classic Najad interior with an L-shaped galley, spacious saloon and an aft cabin with double berth and ample storage. A diesel heater, hot water, electric refrigerator and multiple 230V outlets via shore power ensure good onboard comfort even during longer stays.

On deck, the yacht features refurbished teak, a bowsprit with anchor holder, mechanical windlass and a bathing platform with hot/cold shower. The boat is also delivered with a complete winter cover and frame, facilitating both storage and protection during the colder months.

A Najad 343 in fine condition for its age — an opportunity to acquire a quality Orust-built yacht ready for many new sailing memories.
