Najad N420 STRALSUND

With a relatively short production run between 1990 and 1996, the Najad 420 is a rare beast with only a limited number leaving the factory. Built in the usual Najad style with the high-quality finish expected from any yacht leaving an Ourst boat yard, the Najad 420 is a comfortable, heavy-displacement offshore cruising yacht offering spacious accommodation.
