Najad 490Ref.

The Najad 490 was the first modern 50 footer from Najad, designed by Jüdel and Vrolijk. Amazingly fast and easy to handle it had a commercial success that overwhelmed the yard itself and lasted even when its successor and elongated version, the 511 had years on the market. At the origin of this success there is a perfect combination between the superb Najad craftmanship, superior even to its national competition and the impressive performances of its hull lines from Jüdel and Vrolijk who were then reaching the peak of their fame. On this unit the powerful sailing plan is gently driven by a strong deck hard-ware, based on electric rollers and winches. This boat was built for the American market and has been changed to european systems by her present owner. She has many recent options. All systems, the hull structure, sail and teak deck are in good shape and she is quite ready for blue water sailing.
