Description

Arcona 430 European Yacht of the Year 2009 Statement of the jury: “She’s a beauty, the Arcona 430 from Sweden. But not only that. This stylish and elegant performance cruiser, drawn by Stefan Qviberg, can do substantially more. There are above all the fantastic sailing characteristics. Already in light breeze, with her high and efficient rig, the Arcona gives an impressive sample of her potential, which is confirmed when the wind increase and the extraordinary rigidity demonstrates itself as we sail close to the wind. It’s convincing how quickly and uncomplicated her good performance shows off. This is supported by the flawless deck layout with an exemplary fitting arrangement. Moreover, the Arcona 430 is very solidly built. The boat is built from sandwich composites and all forces from the rig and keel are taken by a steel girder. The result is an extremely durable structure capable to handle high loads. In comparison to the time-loose and modern outside appearance, the interior contrasts with a rather conservative, typically Scandinavian atmosphere. True, but not a disadvantage. On the contrary, the cosy and in detail almost perfect interior is appreciated.
