    Boat Tour of our 36ft Najad, a heavy duty Bluewater sailboat built to the highest standards in Sweden in 1986. The perfect boat for exploring the Arctic regions with a range of features we would like to introduce from both the exterior and interior with a comparison to our previous Beneteau production yacht.
    This video is a realtime update that's out of sequence to our usual Pacific Crossing videos which we wanted to share in order to update everyone that is interested. We will continue the usual episodes in the South Pacific very shortly.

    Congrats on your new boat. For her year she looks in great condition the interior looks immaculate. 👍

    The Najad range of boats are such a great choice for your continued voyaging, way more suitable for open water cruising. She looks to be in very good condition.

    I'm curious in that you selected a Beneteau and sailed serious blue water and in showing your new boat one of the most mentioned attributes is that she is a "blue water boat", "sail more comfortably in Blue Water, etc. While I can understand that the open cockpit in the Beneteau is a sizeable drawback if the standard outside temperatures support snow flakes, it almost seems like you are also talking about how the Beneteau is not as comfortable in Blue Water as you wish NOW THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE. I would love for you to elaborate on this in depth in a posting, I have enjoyed your competency since the beginning and looking forward to future postings. We are about to purchase a 43 foot Jeanneau and your channel is one of my defense points that if we decided to go blue water, the boat will handle it. ;-) hence, great interest on my part on this topic. Thanks for this posting, she is a lovely boat and obviously well taken care of.

    • @SailingBeaver
      @SailingBeaver  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Cheers for the feedback on this. Will prob have to cover this subject a little more in depth over further videos to better elaborate. Our Beneteau was an epic boat for the trip we did (towards the warmer climates) but living aboard in Norway it was much more difficult to warm the boat and the condensation and smells were quite a lot worse than the Najad. The combination of the centre cockpit, smaller mast and smaller overall boat for the cruising we wanna do here and towards the arctic is why this boat suits us. Fair winds ⛵️

    Great choice. Najad is far better than whatever is from France (on purpose not mentioning brandnames). A 1.80m guy may have to duck in going aft or forward. However, I am 1.93m and owned a Waarschip 1010. No headroom whatsoever. You'll get used to it and it gives an extra bit of safety. Shorter people, let's say 1.60 for fun, tend to get thrown around in a boat in heavy seas. On my 1010 I was sailing with my dog. She was a lovely, 40kg Berner Sennen. I could use her for balast and I taught her to stay on the windward side of the boat. Luca can be throw around, lacking weight, useless as balance, but I am sure she will find her place while sailing. And, more importantly, she is in your hearts.

    • @SailingBeaver
      @SailingBeaver  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Cheers. Good points indeed. That’s true Luca does slip around on the floor so maybe some carpet will help her get traction haha. Fair winds.

  • @sergeidolbin2775
    @sergeidolbin2775 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you know the difference between a production and a bluewater boats, you'll sure see that difference while sailing. I have a 1971 33ft Hallberg-Rassy, and being smaller, but regardless of the blow, with a proper sail combination it never heals over 15 degrees. You'll see what I mean on your Najad. On the beautiful wood subject on the inside..., beside being a very significant esthetic attribute, it also shields you from forever off-gasiing epoxy that most of your boat is made of, and all of that toxic fumes evaporate on the outside. If you plan on going back to cruising, that wood will greatly contribute to much healthier living conditions aboard. Based on your previous boat setup, you look like someone who believes in a bluewater value of an inner stay...? Perhaps that and a Hydrovane could be major improvements to the Najad? Congratulations on your new boat! She is beautiful and she has a soul to discover, connect with, and enhance your journey together. I'm so happy for your success! Fair winds ⛵️

    We have something in common here
    Your new purchase of the lovely Najad
    I sold my Hanse 430e for a Najad 390 as I am now on my way to cross the Atlantic and do a lot more ocean sailing
    Although I do love the Najad and it’s sea going abilities I always wonder if I did the right thing
    I suppose it’s pros & cons in all boats
    But seeing you guys with your choice makes me feel I did the right thing
    Looking forward in your new adventures

    Fantastic boat! We did a trip from Cabo to Puerto Vallarta on a friend's Hallberg Rassy, and it was a dream and a tank to be on with 20-25 knots and crossed-up swell. Our only complaint (which was had a part in deciding on the boat we have now) is that when we'd catch a wave, the boat wouldn't let go and start to plane. It would bog down and lose the wave. Not a big deal depending on your theory behind why you sail, but it was one reason we like having a high performance cruiser.

    • @SailingBeaver
      @SailingBeaver  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks. Fair enough, they don’t really have the hull shape to glide well down the waves nor plane at all. Certain conditions that could be a good thing or kinda slow. Fair winds 🤙

    Congrats on your new boat, and I'll try not to rain on your parade, given just about any Sailboat can be made to work as intended, and the hamstrings features are things like comfort. Perspective - I'm a Classic Sailboat Sailor, from the time when Classic Sailboats were Current Production, and zclassic Sailboats suffered from the terrible effects of Sailboat Racing influences, which resulted in the 1979 Fastnet Race Tragedy. which turned me off Sailboat Racing for life. influences such as short waterline length and narrow beams encouraged extreme heeling angles to increase Hull speed, and actively working against the capacity for comfort onboard.,Working against comfort in the Tropics, is why I really dislike Classic Sailboats with zcentre Cockpits, as most have poor headroom below deck, and very steep companionway steps leading to skinned shins and knees, a d excessive temperatures down below that reach Sauna levels of discomfort and all for the false illusion that they are somehow safer than an Aft Cockpit Sailbost - they aren't, and the loss os comfort and convenience provided is not insignificant. So I am a Convert to the Modern Wide Beam Production Sailboats, and my biggest problem with them is once again the Stupid influences from Sailboat Racing, with things like wxcessively deep Drafts, Twin Rudders, and stupid safety hazards like Msinsheet tracks in the Cockpit Given the levelsvof UV Light penetration thanks to Solar Emissionsdoing serious damsge to the Ozone Lsyer, in Mast Furling Maindails have become essential for significantly reducing Main Sail Da,age, which can be stsggering, and take place very quickly. Frankly, the biggest problem I am having with finding a new Boat, is finding one with a shallow enough Draft, as I just don't Trust Swing Keels or drop Keels in anything other than the size of a Sailing Dinghy. To me, there is nothing wrong with a Shallow Draft Lead Wing Keek for a Draft of say four feet six inches, which opens up a huge range of places you can get in and out of. my last Sailboat had a long keelmand a shallow Draft of four feet and three inches, and tracked like it was on Rails. So,etching, I really don't like though, is Wind Vane steering, as to me, in confused Seas or awkward waves, their reaction speed is way too slow, and that can really drop you in it. So auto pilot with a complete replacement backup - just in Case .Sorry foe rabbiting on a bit, but I almost Died a few weeks back, with Respiratory Failure, Pneumonia, followed by a heart attack, so passing on things I have learned along what is now a very long way, may be of help to think about for others. So Best Wishes, Fair Winds, and Happy Travels from Bob ( who thinks Circumnavigations are pointless, and it's worth replacing them with Drstinations that you really want to visit, and it is the journey to them that is the really fun bit ). 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

    Nice boat and good video. However, I am confused because you said you were posting regular videos. You must be well over a year behind in your videos. The last video you published was a couple of months ago at least. You have had this boat for quite a while now. I saw this boat on your instagram account a fairly long time ago, but now you've deleted the accounts, so can't look back.
    Anyway, glad to see you posting again. Hopefully you'll put another video of your trip up soon and catch us up, so we can follow you through Scandinavia.

      Yes confused you are Shrek.. We have kept all our socials up to date but not our videos as they are obviously delayed. We film everything and release a video as soon as we have time between our work commitments. We are regularly irregular or if I may consistently inconsistent… Instagram and facebook is always updated on time and nothing deleted of course. Stay tuned and enjoy.

    Big issues with the Boat in the Tropics - Chronically low internal Air Volume, and the total absence of good air moving Fans - very poor space for Housebank Batteries with enough power to keep those fans working to prevent below deck becoming like a Sauna, and the narrow beam obstru ts the ousting of enough Solar fo keep all thebatteries topped up, and there isn't really enough room to fit air con or dehumidifier to keep things comfortable. Verdict, your Bdndyeau is the better Blue Water Sailboat for the Yropics, which is why most boats Sailing the Oceans of the World seem to be Bendteau Group, though a bigger Oceanis Line Sailbozt with even more beam for Solar appears more suited. This Najad is also handicapped by nor having the UV protection of an in Mast Furking Main, as the speed with which UV can damage Sailcloth is pretty staggering. That a Centre Cockpit is somehow " Safer" is very much a long standing illusion. Pad eyes and Ja k lines to clip onto from the Compznjonway are All that's needed, and hou have really lost the Aft Cockpit ingredients of the most used and most comfortable room on the Sailboat at Anchor, plus the easy access Docking facilites for easily getting on and off the Tender. I started Sailing at age 11, and almost all of my life, including my last Sailboat, have been Classic like the Najad, and they do have a Mystique about them, I freely admit, and which does mean that you may even make a profit when you sell the Najad. 👍 Yhe hardest lesson for me, was learning that my lassie era 1978 Endeavour 32 wasn't really up to what I needed, in so many ways, and that the Boats thzt actually delivered the rising and oyaging Requirements that I now need, are best delivered by the Nost Modern post 2010 production Sailboats, though an Island Packet can still give them a pretty good run for the money - which is mostly down to the very long list of Custom Construction options, most of which are available at no extra cost. It's worth repeating, that pretty much Any Sailboat can be made to work, The difficulties arise from things like how good they are in the Tropics and Cold Regions, is the DrDt shallow enough to get in and out of where you need to go - my Endeavours Dradt was 4 feet 3 inches and was about perfect, and is there enough room for batteries, Solar Panels, wind generator and a decent backup diesel Generator, watermaker, air conditioning etc, plus enough headroom, and internal Air Volume so lots of decent fans can work effectively. Some are personal,priorities for me, as I need to spend about 5 years in the Tropics for health reasons. Vwey Best Wishes to you both. Bob. 🌟🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

    A never discussed prospective for all boat buyers, is what happens to plastics, and Resins like Polyester that with Layers of glass reinforcement, get turned into Syructural Strength? Bottom line, the ma imum Service life of a GRP Boat, even if barrier coated internally and externally, is an absolute maximum of 90 years, even if it is an underground plastic. Exposed to UV Light, it is about 12 months before it reverts to Esters and Waterso "micro plastics" are a Fake Dcience originated non problem - micro or not, they disso
    ve and are gone. How did I find Out Well in the 1960's the thinking was that plastics were forever according topropaganda from some quarters. along with alsrmism that within 10 years, every beach on the Planet, would be 30 geet deep in plasyic, and after a few years, Real Science, which we still had back then took a very close look into it indeed, and the results of their Studies, appeared in the Civil,and Structural Engineering Course I was on in the 1970's - yes there were still re,mnants of Real Education, and Skills Training at thst time. So, if buying a Boat and just floating exposes it to UV Light da,age, then buy the most recent gull that you can afford, to have it last the longest, and avoid thin lightweight hull construction, suchnas in RacingnSai
    boats, Catamarans and Such, and regularly apply UV Resisting Polish to the gelcoat layerseems worthwhile. Other than that, a moisture tester found Register if the Resin is in the breaking down. Plastics on Beaches, or floating in the sea, gone in about 12 months, , and by 2050, we are going to havena Growing problem replacing all underground okastics. Me buy another 1970's or 1980's Boat ? Not even if Hell Freezes Over. Frankly, nothing made Prior to 2019 if it has spent years in the Tropics. I need to spend about 5 years in the Tropics, and UV protecting Polish will be regularly applied, and there will be no wood on Deck either. How long do epoxy Resins Last ? No Data as yet, bit WW2 Mosquito ai4craft do appear to have held up pretty well. 🤔

    That boat is ancient and way too expensive for its age and size. Not only will it constantly need repairs, all that teak deck is going to require regular mantenance.
    Any CE A rated production boat is a bluewater sailboat just as capable as this one. But of course it's your time and your money.

    • @SailingBeaver
      @SailingBeaver  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Ooff!! Obviously we have been on both sides of this fence so would have to disagree on most of what you said except the teak, that will need maintenance. All boats need repairs and this one would be no exception. This boat ticks all the boxes for us in the areas we plan to sail (arctic) and being an older boat means a much lower purchase price then a production boat with similar capabilities. Appreciate the input.
