The Arcona 435 is a fast, modern and easy-to-manage 43 foot performance cruiser. Launched by Arcona Yachts in 2018 and winner of the European Yacht of the Year 2019, she quickly became a favorite in the performance racer-cruiser sector.

Stefan Qviberg, the designer, has designed a masterpiece that appeals to owners who wants both comfort for long passages and sailing performance for racing. Stefan explains, “The 435 has an efficient sail design, a low weight and the characteristic stability exhibited in every Arcona yacht. The 435 is modern inside and out.”

The Arcona 435 epitomizes the characteristics of a very comfortable fast family cruiser and a racing yacht, without making any compromises. She is both safe and stable with laminated bulkheads and Arcona’s galvanized steel girder. She is a joy to sail as she responds quickly to trim input and doesn’t weigh more than 8900kg. The Arcona 435 can also be specified with carbon hull, deck and spars which reduces her weight further. Arcona 435 has a slightly larger sail area than previous models to give optimized upwind performance.
