Still with her original owner, BRINDABELLA is a Najad 405 from 2009. A refinement of her forerunner, the 400 (itself a very popular yacht), the 405 featured a number of key improvements adding to her sailing performance and enjoyed a more contemporary feel below deck. BRINDABELLA was built for an experienced owner; the brief was for a well-specified yacht for independent offshore and bluewater cruising. A brief she fulfilled with ease.
We have owned BRINDABELLA from new. She is a high specification yacht fitted out for bluewater cruising, including a generator and watermaker both fitted by Najad at the time of build.
We have cruised her from Sweden to the UK and regularly to the west coast of France. More recently, we have cruised from the UK to the Mediterranean, covering France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. During this time, we have found her to be a wonderful cruising yacht that is both fast and comfortable.
Inheriting the same Najad family genes from more recent new launches, the new Najad 405 is a natural development of the out-going N400. The rig is taller, in line with the overall enhanced performance and sportier characteristics now set in space across all of Najad´s newest model range. The balanced spade rudder will have no skeg and offer a light feeling to the helm, making for easier tacking and less stressful close quarter manoeuvres.
