Najade 900

[alg]

Does anyone know anything about 'Najade 900' boats.
I believe they were built around 1970 by Najade Bootsban.
In particular can anyone tell me how they sail.
Thanks,

We owned a Najade 900 from 1988 until 1998. Always trouble with the engine (Volvo MD2), but never with the boat itself. She alway proved to be wonderfully stable and easy to handle. With a good s10.00et of sail she should be quite fast. The GRP had no significant moisture level after having been in the water for 10 years on end, the last layer of antifouling having been applied over three years previously. However, we nearly lost the rudder because of corrosion of the rudderpin. It showed up when she was looked over by an expert. We sold her at approx. 12.000 Euros., but fully equipped and in good overal lcondition she should fetch considerably more. She was built in Kiel, by the way.
