Magic Touch is a 1991 Najad 440 — a centre-cockpit bluewater cruiser designed by Norman & Karlsson and built in Sweden. A heavy-displacement yacht of 15,500kg, she combines serious offshore credentials with the comfort and self-sufficiency that longer passages demand. Offered for sale in good overall condition, she has been maintained by knowledgeable owners and has been continuously based in Greek waters.
The specification reflects years of considered investment. A Fisher Panda 6kVA generator, twin 120W solar panels and a wind generator provide energy independence at anchor, while a Skafresh watermaker, 1,300 litres of water and 400 litres of fuel extend her range. A Raymarine navigation package built around an Axiom touchscreen chartplotter and Evolution autopilot, together with standing rigging replaced in 2016 and a new Eberspächer diesel heater (2024), makes her a well-found yacht for extended cruising.

BROKER’S REMARKS
Magic Touch is a well-found bluewater cruiser that rewards careful inspection. Her Norman & Karlsson design, Swedish build, flush teak deck and 15,500kg displacement give her the weight and layout of a genuine passage-maker, and the evidence of ongoing investment is clear throughout.
The centre-cockpit arrangement offers good privacy between the forward and aft cabins, and the three-cabin, two-heads layout suits a couple with guests or a small crew. Below, the warm wooden interior provides a dedicated chart table, saloon table, two hanging lockers and a wet locker, with good natural light.
Her energy and water systems suit extended time away from marinas, and the Raymarine navigation package, replaced standing rigging (2016) and new heater (2024) all add confidence. With a bow thruster, electric windlass and ten winches, she is straightforward to manage for a small crew and ready for Mediterranean cruising with very little to do. Early inspection is recommended.
