About the name NINJOD

The name NINJOD was derived from a term often used at my place of work. When something excellent is achieved (usually in a short amount of time) those responsible for the task say that it has been “Ninja’d”. Given the first ever NINJOD was a JOD 35 the name NINJOD was born.

In September 2011 a new NINJOD arrives. She is a Jeanneau Sunfast 3200. Designed by Daniel Andrieu, the same chap that designed the JOD 35, the Sunfast 3200 has been designed with shorthanded and solo sailing in mind.
