Najad 490 – NOW SOLD

Grabau International are delighted to announce the successful sale of the 2002 Najad 490 ‘LA CONTENTA’.

Originally ordered with the specific brief to create a safe, comfortable and easily-managed world-cruiser for a husband & wife crew, LA CONTENTA has proven herself to be all of this and more.  Her specification highlights include:-

• Leisurefurl inboom furling system
• Andersen electric winches
• Cutter rig with Furlex furlers for staysail and yankee
• Two cabin, two heads layout with custom front cabin configuration affording substantially increased stowage over standard.
• 24vDC domestic system
• 6kw Generator
• Spectra 24vDC watermaker
• Clima air-conditioning
• Eberspacher Hydronic heating
• KVH Tracvision Satellite TV system
• Icom SSB radio
• Washing machine

Particular attention was given to creating essential additional storage and also logical choices in terms of rig, machinery and electrical selection and location. A major requirement of her original owners was the ability to service systems at sea safely and with ease; something which is particularly important but frequently overlooked in so-called ‘blue water cruisers’.

First launched in 2002, LA CONTENTA cruised for on average 6 months of each year in her original ownership with her systems fully laid up in between. Sold to her second (current) owners by Grabau International’s MD Alex Grabau in 2012 as a replacement to their Rustler 42, LA CONTENTA underwent a 2yr extensive refit to update, replace or add further equipment deemed necessary to allow her new owners to embark upon extended blue water cruising. With circa £100k spent across all areas of the yacht, LA CONTENTA is arguably as close to ‘turn key’ as it is possible to get.

We wish her proud new owners fair winds and following seas.
