If you’re planning to cross the Atlantic with the World Cruising Club and the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), choosing the right yacht is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The Arcona 435 Mk II is purpose-built for bluewater sailing and easy to handle shorthanded, combining Scandinavian craftsmanship with true offshore performance. With a lightweight yet robust vacuum-infused hull, powerful rig and responsive handling, the Arcona 435 MK II is a proven performer that offers speed, comfort and safety across ocean passages. This makes it an exceptional choice for sailors looking to buy a new yacht for their ARC adventure.
In the 2024 ARC, two Arcona 435 Mk II yachts completed the rally with a podium finish in their class, demonstrating their capability and comfort over more than 2,700 nautical miles of open ocean. One of these yachts had SE Yachts Director Simon Rosier onboard as experienced crew, giving our team first-hand insight into how to prepare and sail your yacht for and during this incredible journey. From sail plans to provisioning, safety equipment to watch systems, we’ve seen what works best in the real-world conditions of an Atlantic crossing. There is already one Arcona 435 Mk II signed up for the 2025 ARC – could yours be there too?
At SE Yachts, we work closely with each owner to ensure their yacht is specified and equipped for serious offshore sailing. The Arcona 435 Mk II offers an ideal layout for long passages, with generous stowage, a secure galley, and an ergonomic cockpit designed for comfort and control in all weather. With optional extras such as solar panels, watermakers, downwind sail packages, and storm sails, we can tailor your yacht for independence and performance during ocean crossings and extended cruising.
Whether you’re planning your first ARC or you’re an experienced sailor seeking a performance cruiser with proven credentials, the Arcona 435 Mk II delivers on every level. As the exclusive UK and Ireland dealer, SE Yachts supports buyers from first enquiry through commissioning and beyond.
