After 9,000 miles, 4 oceans, and a whole lot of adventure, Ohana has arrived at Nanny Cay.
This stunning Arcona 435 Mk II, owned and skippered by Ken Wisdom (Wilton, CT), is pure elegance – built in Sweden, raced in the Baltics, crossed the Atlantic, and has now landed in the BVI after securing a podium finish in class in the ARC, enjoying the RORC Caribbean 600, and even taking a pitstop at the Heineken Regatta.
Ohana is the ultimate racer cruiser – Wisdom loves to race, his wife loves to cruise and they like to do both together so above the deck she is all race, performance winches, B&G systems, the sail inventory includes a dozen sails from North, down below is all Swedish-built with three cabins, two heads and all the creature comforts.
“We did a lot of research to find the right boat and because my wife is from Sweden, we’ve spent a lot of time there and discovered Arcona a dozen years ago,” Wisdom said. “We met the owner of the company; he took us sailing and the boats were just amazing, they were winning races, people loved the balance of the boat and how the craftsmanship stood out.”
