We are looking to buy Aphrodite 36, she looks lovely, but I cannot find any articles, informations, manuals about Aphrodite's Yacht, except that they are bought by Najad
I am quite sure that there is some kind of printed manuals for new owners, details about steering, sails, etc.

Any informations will be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks
 
Aphrodite yachts were built in Orust, the home of Hallberg-Rassy, Najad, etc. The little island is home to many skilled boatbuilders, working to fairly similar and fairly traditional patterns. Aphrodite yachts were very similar in design to the HRs and Najads of the day, with similar upholstery, similar interior woodwork, similar glazed windscreens, etc. Good boats, but not as well-known as HRs and Najads, so possibly harder to re-sell (if that's a concern for the future). I reckon you could buy a Hallberg-Rassy for similar money, and that would probably be a better long-term buy.

Thank you
 
Perhaps I can also add that Hallberg-Rassy has a wonderful spare parts outfit, even providing hard-to-find bits for models long out of production. I has an HR352 for about 20 years, and was very impressed with HR Parts.
 
There is one a few berths down from us. If you PM me what you want to know I can get that to the owner via the marina.

???? The 30 is a very old 30-footer, the 360 is a somewhat newer 35-footer. Had you thought of Googling for research?

All Googling that is there, because of that I have turn to this forum, I tought, there are owners of those two that will point differences, Thanks

Well, one's about 5 feet longer than the other - that's a bit of a giveaway.

I don't think so, they are both 36 feet, maybe we talking about different boats, no to worry. I am sure someone will come out with some good answers, thanks pvb
