A chill in the air, spray on the bow and the unmistakable silhouette of the Arcona 435 Mk II slicing through the Solent – proof that great sailing isn’t reserved for summer.

Earlier this year, SE Yachts joined forces with Mustang Survival for a shoot celebrating performance, precision and protection in real conditions. Setting off from Lymington Yacht Haven, the team captured the Arcona 435 Mk II under sail around the Needles and Alum Bay, with every shot designed to showcase what it means to live beyond land.

Built for Sailors Who Chase Performance Whatever the Season

The Arcona 435 Mk II epitomises Scandinavian design – light, responsive and beautifully balanced. Whether cruising inshore or crossing oceans, it rewards sailors who value precision and comfort in equal measure.

For this shoot, SE Yachts Director Simon Rosier was on board with the Arcona 435 Mk II owners and they were all wearing Mustang Survival’s latest technical gear designed for life on the water:
Meris Collection – a new modular system built for versatility and protection.
Atlas 190 DLX Pro Sensor Life Jacket – Mustang’s award-winning life jacket, trusted by professionals worldwide.
Torrens Thermal Crew Jacket – an essential mid-layer for cold-weather sailing.

Together, the yacht and the gear reflect a shared philosophy – engineering excellence that keeps sailors confident and comfortable in every condition.

Behind the Lens

Capturing the Arcona 435 Mk II in her element took a team effort:

Their expertise helped produce a striking visual story – clean Scandinavian lines, powerful sails and the unmistakable realism of early-season sailing on the south coast.

Beyond Land, Beyond Limits

Since 1967, Mustang Survival has been designing marine apparel and safety equipment to inspire a love of the water and protect those who #LiveBeyondLand. Partnering with Arcona Yachts for this Solent shoot brought that heritage to life, aligning Canadian innovation with Swedish performance and SE Yachts’ dedication to bringing the best of both worlds to UK sailors.
