Arcona 465 Carbon

Gloriously responsive.

View Image Gallery

“This is a sailor’s boat. A pure dynamo generating sailing excitement. She is simply a beautifully balanced, gloriously responsive cruiser’s dream.” – Sailing Today 2017

Built wholly in carbon, the Arcona 465 is a masterpiece. Designed for sailors to enjoy both cruising and racing. She has a handcrafted wood interior with all the comfort of a cruiser, yet she has logged speeds over 24kts. The Arcona 465 is a true performance cruiser, a world class yacht.

The carbon makes her extraordinary successful on the race course and light enough to give initial allowance for the extra gear you would need for your dream of blue water cruising.

Like all boats in the Arcona range, the 465 reflects the quality expected from the Swedish boat builders using the best materials and techniques and hand – picked suppliers; Infusion technology for hull and deck, Bulkheads laminated to the hull for the greatest possible strength.

“I loved this boat. She looks designed to do exactly what you’d want a boat to do, and do it with ease. She handles exceedingly well, so light in the water she seems to skim across the surface, with speeds to match. But she doesn’t fight you hard, even in a blow. The interior is relatively simple by today’s standards, but still well equipped. You could add more mod-cons if you wanted to, as well as bluewater kit. She would make a very comfortable base for four people, or for two, and can accommodate more as well.” – Sam Fortescue, Sailing Today, February 2017

“I can immediately see the Arcona 465 jostling for position on the start line of any race track and holding its own; it responds favourably to active trimming and on our relatively light wind day I did feel there was a lot more power to unlock. However the cruising face of the 465 is equally authentic. It is luxurious, comfortable and well thought out; living aboard this boat would be a pleasure. In its unladen state, the handling can be calmed down with some sensible sail trim. It is worth bearing in mind that the boat was designed to take on board about a tonne of cruising kit. Load the 465 with all of your gear and you can expect the performance of an unladen glassfibre yacht of the same size. If this works, it is genius. Arcona may have uncovered the secret to building proper hybrid cruiser-racers.” – Pip Hare, Yachting World, January 2017

“I like pretty much everything about this boat. The target was a high-performance racer/cruiser optimized for both comfort and performance. To my eye it looks like the company has hit the bullseye.” – Robert H. Perry, Sailing Magazine, April 2017

First look: Arcona 50 – all new concept

• Theo Stocker
• May 15, 2023

Arcona has opted for an all-new concept with the Arcona 50, with Niels Jeppesen penning the lines for this new 50 footer

Product Overview

All Arconas from 1982 onwards originated from the drawing board of the late Stefan Qviberg. The lines he drew created easily-driven hulls with fine entry bows and smooth runs. It was no small thing, then, to find a replacement for Qviberg, and rather than replace an existing model, Arcona has opted for an all-new concept with the Arcona 50.

Stepping up to 50ft for the first time, the Arcona 50 aims at the bluewater cruising market with a higher volume and slightly gentler hull more suited to offshore sailing for a shorthanded crew.

You’d be forgiven for thinking the lines look familiar, if not particularly Arcona-esque, as they come from Niels Jeppesen, former chief designer for Danish rival X-Yachts. Along with Ariadna Pons, they have drawn a hull that has fuller sections, particularly forward, a wider beam, and more pronounced hull chines (though no hard-angled angles).

She also sports twin rudders for the first time to handle the wider beam, as well as allowing the rudders to be located further aft, for more accommodation space, and creating room for an athwartships tender garage, in addition to the large sail locker forward.

Fit-out is in either Khaya mahogany or light European oak

Engine options are for 80 or 100hp and optional retractable bow and stern thrusters. With tankage of 385 litres for fuel and 375 litres for water, this boat is set up for longer-distance cruising. There are also options for a carbon rig to further improve performance, as well as a carbon furling boom. I also like the option of an inner forestay for setting blade or storm jibs.

This reflects a higher degree of creature comforts on board, compared to the rest of the range which is aimed at fast coastal cruising. This includes a large U-shaped galley, a full nav station and a generous saloon with C-shaped seating and a moveable bench seat midships.

There’s a huge en suite owner’s cabin forward with a king-size island bed and two double or twin cabins aft along with another heads and shower compartment. There’s plenty of stowage, with attractive shelving on the forward saloon bulkhead, and overhead lockers outboard of the saloon seating.

The quality of the finish should be high with mahogany or light oak as finish options.

Arcona 345, A New Performance Cruiser Nordic Style

Following the success of the European Yacht of the Year winning Arcona 435 in 2019, Arcona Yachts unveils a new performance cruiser model ideal for shorthanded sailing, the Arcona 345.

Torgny Jansson, Founder of Arcona Yachts, comments: “ The Arcona 345 is such an exciting project for us. She has a slightly larger sail area than the Arcona 340 to give optimised upwind performance. There is the option to have twin wheels configured which can be upgraded to carbon. With a tiller as standard, she is very responsive so we can’t wait to see her perform on the racecourse. ”

The layout provides a forward cabin with plenty of room and a good-sized clothes locker each side of the dressing area, with more stowage beneath and over the berths.

The saloon has an L-shaped galley, with lots of stowage, a gimballed twin burner gas cooker with oven and a generously-sized sink and fridge; a smoothly rounded backward-facing chart table with ample space for electronic equipment; a twin leaf saloon table, a U-shaped seating area to port and long straight settee starboard capable of seating six to dine.

The heads are spacious with separate shower facilities. One aft cabin features a large double berth, two portholes that can be opened, plenty of lockers and shelves, plus stowage under the berth.

The hull and deck employ vacuum infusion technology with a sandwich construction featuring multi-axial rovings and Vinylester resin. The core material is 20mm Divinycell. All bulkheads are bonded to the hull and deck for added strength.

Fitted with a powerful fractional rig, the  Arcona 345  sports a tapered, twin spreader, keel-stepped mast and is prepped for spinnaker equipment. For strength and stability, the bulb keel is made of antimony hardened lead.

The transom is open with an integral bathing platform. The large storage locker aft is accessible from two recessed hatches in the cockpit floor. Additional storage can be found in the aft end of the cockpit bench and a cockpit table is stowed in the starboard side locker. The cockpit coaming, aft deck and sole are in teak. The side deck can be specified either in teak or in Arcona’s iconic non-slip material.
