2018 Arcona Yachts 435

The Arcona 435 Mk II illustrates the evolution of design and innovation for Arcona Yachts. She is a boat that will win regattas one weekend and then take the family for a comfortable and safe sail the next.

The Arcona 435 continues to uphold Arcona’s strong heritage of innovation and design excellence, using high quality materials and best workmanship. Launched by Arcona Yachts in 2018 and winner of the European Yacht of the Year 2019, she has become a favourite in the performance racer-cruiser sector. The Arcona 435 is a quick, modern and easy-to-manage 45-foot performance cruiser.

The Arcona 435 epitomises 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 galvanised steel girder. She is a joy to sail as she responds quickly to trim input and doesn’t weigh more than 8990kg. 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 optimised upwind performance.

With her wider stern there is great space in the cockpit for crew, friends and family. It also gives more space down below in the aft cabins, galley and saloon. The wide stern gives her great sailing performance, especially downwind. There is also a choice between open or semi-open transom.

She has twin wheels configured as standard which can be upgraded to carbon. The cockpit table recesses down into the floor and is easy to deploy when needed, otherwise creating an open, comfortable area whilst sailing. The windows on the coachroof are long and wide allowing plenty of natural light in to the saloon.

The spacious cockpit has an integral bathing platform and a large storage locker aft, accessible from two recessed hatches in the cockpit floor. The sides of the cockpit have been designed for intelligent use of stowage and at the front edge of the coaming are two compartments that elegantly stow all halyards. The cockpit coaming, aft deck and sole are in teak. The side deck can be specified either in teak or in Arcona’s proven non-slip material.

The boat is designed to be sailed for extended periods of time and in any weather, so a comfortable relaxing yacht interior is an important attribute of an Arcona. We have specifically designed the interior to make the living onboard enjoyable.

The interior is in selected Khaya mahogany, varnished to a high-gloss satin finish, that successfully communicates a relaxed living space. For those who prefer lighter interior we offer oak as well. The mouldings, door frames and stairs are all laminated with varnished teak soles.

We offer a broad range of cushion fabrics and colour choices and you make that selection when you order your Arcona. The ceiling lighting in the saloon, cabins and in the heads consists of recessed spotlights. Below deck in the saloon, there are more spotlights with a dimmer in the navigation station to provide atmospheric saloon lighting. All cabins are equipped with roof lamps and two bulkhead-mounted reading lamps.
