New Sailing Boat for Liveaboard

[Bosun182]

I am considering a new sailing boat for live-aboard in Norway. Besides comfort in the cold (i.e. insulated hull and heater) I am looking for max sail performace. It must have a decent aft cockpit and a big steering wheel, not a centre cockpit.

I have been looking at Hallberg Rassy 372 (my favourite) and Najad 355. Does anyone have any experiences with these boats? Any alternatives?

Hi , i sailed one NAJAD 355 , only one afternoon, wind 15 knots, i was well impressed about the boat. I saw it in Dusseldorf Boat Show, and in my opinion is the best 35 foot boat that i have seen until now. I like their furnishing details, and the boat looks comfortable.

The HR 372 was also in the boat show, nice boat, from what i reed in Yacht Monthly Magazine, they consider this boat a good value of money to invest.

The advantage of the 372 is that you have a spacious owner aft cabin.
