News » Another Win for Najad!

We are delighted to announce that the Najad 505 has been awarded 'Environmental Sailing Boat of the Year' for 2010 by the Swedish Yacht Association / SBU!

Following the success in 2009 of the Najad 355, we are proud to have won for two years running, and feel that this award helps to demonstrate our continued drive towards offering outstanding sailing yachts that have the minimum possible impact on the environment both during the production process and in use.  

“Selecting an Environmental Boat of the Year is fully in line with the environmental work the Swedish Yachting Association has been conducting for almost 40 years,” says Bengt Hallberg, Chairman of the Environmental Committee. “It’s one way of demonstrating the boating scene’s commitment to nature and the environment. We are part of outdoor life in Sweden, and as such we have a vested interest in helping to ensure a sound marine environment.”  

"We are very proud to win this award in 2010 as we did in 2009. Our entire company is focused on continuous improvement in all aspects of our design and manufacture including minimising environmental impact." said Magnus Ridderstad, Marketing and Sales Manager at Najadvarvet.
