- If you have not heard of ARCONA yet? Let me introduce you to one of the top production performance cruisers on the market today. This Swedish export is a benchmark yacht with a well-made intelligent design, speed and comfort in mind. The Arcina 435M2 is the biss.
The Dip Stick says - "When I dip, you dip, we dip"! Thanks for the tour shipmate!
Your welcome
PS. Great to give the E Winch Handle another mention, they make a lot of sense, and those are on my shopping list now, and I’ll tell them that they came highly recommended by you. Bob.👍🌟🌟🌟❤️⛵️
We are testing the new one next week on a sea trial for you guys and us, so we will work it hard and see what it is capable of.
we need to discuss recent Arcona rudder failure. Nice videos btw.
Love the storage below
Loads of practical space, you can never have enough storage. 😁😇😏
Ok no dipstick comments, nor shall I say anything about Your salt water inlet😅....seriously though, your videos are very good, you know what's what. Cheers.
Thank you, I was sure someone would have a smart remark about a dipstick, we live in hope 🤩😘
Nice interior.
yes it is;)
Damn. Only two things totally wreck this boat for me, one unfixable - a shallow draft of 6 ft 7 inches, and a fixable massive NONO that Cockpit Mainsheet Track.it’s a bit of a lightweight for cruising in comfort, but that can be mostly fixed with careful,positioning of tankage. Basically too much Sailboat Racing orientation, and nowhere near Cruising orientation - the typical Modern Med Sailboat problem. It’s a very big World outside the Med,with a hell of a lot of Shallow Waters in it,and all of these Med Boat Sailboat Designers need to go Cruising around them for at least a few years in my honest opinion. They might well learn something useful along the way ? yet another great boat tour of a boat with a lot to like about it.🤔🌟🌟🌟❤️⛵️🏴🇬🇧
PS. I’ve just emailed them, to see if they are interested in building me an actual shallow Draft - 4ft 6 inch- sith accustom Lead Wing keel, plus other things to accommodate disability, so fingers crossed. I do like Swedish stuff in general,like Saab Turbo 900 cars,Sako and Tikka rifles, plus my absolute favourite Match grade Varberger Rifle in .243 Winchester - talk about a tack driver! It even outshot my Browning A Bolt in 7mm-08, though I actually got my qualified Advanced Marksman with the Browning.That was a great week of testing with an SAS Sniper instructor.a great guy who got killed by an IED roadside bomb in Afghanistan. RIP Buddy. Bob.😌
I like Arcona, and have been lucky to have sailed a few’ but yes you are right they are definitely more on the racing cruiser side than the blue water sailing. Swedish manufacturers tend to be either full on blue water world domination or med boats only. I find it a little frustrating sometimes, just thought you might like to know we have a sea trial of the Allubat OVNI 370 on Monday.
@@SVTONICBoatWives Have a great day out with the sea trial, looking forward to seeing how it went. I think it was worth sending an enquiry to Arcona, as if they are prepared to work with Custom Lead Wing Keel fitting, it can only make their market larger by being able to offer a genuine Shallow Draft boat. Stripping off the counterproductive Racing DooDahs in favour of sensible Cruising setups, would be a piece of cake to be honest. That 435 can easily get turned into a low stressed comfortable Cruising Sailboat imho. Not had a reply yet though. Still lots of good enough to get on with are due to come into the market soon, ex charter Beneteau group , and cheap enough to get a Mast Swap done. I’d like to get some work done in the UK, so I can pick up some Seago stuff, like a Tender, Lifejackets, etc, plus maybe get Garmin electronics fitted and upgrade the rigging and get a new suit of Sails etc. in a few months, we could be living in a much better World tbh, now it’s hust getting from here to there. Best Wishes. Bob. PS. If I don’t make it (it looks like some stuff I can perhaps only do on the other side and I’m OK either way ) Have a very long and Happy Prosperous Life. 👍🌟🌟🌟🙂⛵️🏴🇬🇧❤️
There is no link! Please link!
The video she said will be uploaded tonight 😊
It will be available tonight as an extra upload.
the link is live thank you for waiting.
@@sarahrose5692 ty missed that.
@@SVTONICBoatWives ty I missed that part. Oops 😂
Ils a Shame from arcona people to push you because the y have a visit. As 80% of the visit is due to your video to chose their appointment. You should be considère as their Best commercial guys
If I were a CZcams star it would be different but I also understand they have a job to do at the end of the day. It's just fun getting onboard and this year there were quite a few of our subscribers at the show so had fun meeting some of you guys.
Essa configuração do banheiro, não me parece prático.
Should be customisable to suit with Construction options though ?If they’d adopt a wing keel it could be turned into a pretty decent cruiser tbh, though I’d Like to see more LWL to the OAL, plus a broader Beam to keep the heeling angle under 15 degrees in all sea conditions. It would still be a pretty quick cruising Sailboat imho. 🤔 Best Wishes.Bob in Wales still. 👍🌟🌟🌟⛵️🏴🇬🇧❤️
En la cabina? ¿O abajo en el espacio de la cabina?
i dont like the place of the self tacker , thats a big bummer for me and im not a sailor
What self-tacker? do you mean the mainsheet traveller?
