Najad 395 Buyer's Guide
The Najad 395 entered production in 2018 as the first model from the Farr Yacht Design office for the Swedish builder, with Ken Freivokh handling styling, and it remains available on the brokerage market in both aft- and centre-cockpit configurations sharing one hull. A 39-foot 4-inch boat with 27,337 pounds displacement and a 35.5 percent ballast ratio, she was conceived for safety, sailing performance, comfort, and long-distance cruising rather than as a light-displacement weekender.
Layouts on the Used Market
Buyers will encounter two distinct cockpit arrangements. The centre-cockpit version sites its generous sheltered helm near the boat's balancing point, behind a large owner's aft cabin, while the aft-cockpit model uses a raised twin-wheel cockpit with a standard windshield and a hinged transom platform. Both offer two or three cabin plans with one or two large heads; the forward cabin in the aft-cockpit layout can be had with a vee berth or offset double and either an en-suite heads or a walk-in wardrobe. Freivokh's interior includes a galley over 6 feet 7 inches long with a Corian top running to the forward bulkhead, designed for sea-going use.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The 395 was sold with a very comprehensive option list, so equipment levels vary widely between boats. The most consequential buyer items are the 57-hp Yanmar diesel on a Saildrive and the standard twin wheels with cockpit arch-mounted mainsheet traveler. A windshield is standard. Beyond the hull, the option list allowed tailoring for offshore work, but specific fitted gear should be verified per boat rather than assumed.
What to Inspect
She is new from her lead keel up with a single deep spade rudder and solid fiberglass hull and deck new from her lead keel up. The Saildrive transmission on the 57-hp Yanmar should be checked for service history as a matter of routine care on such installations.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Buyers should confirm regional availability through brokers. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm AC versus CC layout and cabin count; verify Saildrive service history on the 57-hp Yanmar; inspect the hinged transom mechanism; check the galley Corian and sea-berth arrangements for cruising intent; and review the option list fitted versus spec. The 395 is a coherent, heavy-displacement offshore cruiser with Farr architecture and Freivokh interiors — a sound platform if the layout and drive maintenance suit your plans.
