ARCONA 50 yacht of the year 2024. Is it justified?

ABBA weren't the only good thing to come from Sweden, The ARCONA 50, Their flagship Winner of the 2024 European Performance Luxury Yacht of the Year has hit the water with a big splash.
The Arcona 50 was designed by X-Yacht's former designer Niels Jeppesen, so we expect big things from this sailboat.

I’ve been looking at various boats to purchase in the fairly near future, and I really like this boat

[@constantinealexandrakis]

I'll be looking out for an invitation. Lol hope you get one and enjoy it! Looks like a very nice boat and fun to sail.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

That makes two of us;)

[@niki7040]

Great video, professionally done! And what a beautiful boat.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

It is a great boat and I am sure it sails well, we will find out sometime. The older 400 we delivered sailed like a dream and would make a great regatta boat.

[@FXPL9277]

Amazing boat! Sea worthy, beatiful and practical. Only flaws for me would be not having a comfortable helm position, throtle position and the fact that the drawers don't open in full. Loved the floor!

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

She is a great boat and I am sure with hull number 2 and so on there will be small changes, as you say the throttle control should be moved.

[@generalgibberish6107]

Obviously another great Tour, obviously don't change a thing no matter what anyone says and keep them coming. It looks like the stereo speakers are hidden behind slotted wood panels, nice touch Arcona.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Obviously I won’t change a thing, glad you liked the tour. I think it’s tough spot in the 50ft production sailboat range as their is a lot of competition.

Great review. Even greater boat. 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Thank you, it is a nice looking boat.

[@jaymarlin3565]

Perfect..!

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Me or the boat? only kidding she is a good-looking sailboat and well thought out with plenty of options.

[@01dumbfrog]

What’s the price? And is #1 still available for sale? I don’t like to wait.

[@TeeFunkable]

I wonder if this one also comes with a self detaching rudder not sealed behind a watertight bulkhead like the arcona 46 footer that turned into a submarine recently?

[@dirkdesiron3409]

NICE REVIEW BUT YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT THE PRICE WHY IS THAT?

[@mortenkristensen977]

What is the stand-up height below deck? ( in cm ideally)

[@paulpaul9914]

It's very nice but there isn't a bilge/twin keel option so can't park it on the beach at Barmouth.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Maybe an Allures 51.9?

[@paulpaul9914]

@@SVTONICBoatWives Hadn't really looked at what Allures do, it's like a Southerly so it sits on its keel plate & twin rudders. The hull is aluminium but the deck is grp which is unusual.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

@@paulpaul9914 they are one of the best yachts for the price plus much more; I can't say much at the mo but we are doing a deal for a 45.9 we have signed a NDA

[@frankcarr7029]

dishwasher? washer/ dryer?

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

I am sure if that's what you want, they can install them. Or you could ask the wife😁😅 thats what I do.

[@jurgenduiveman2365]

is that rust in the gas bottle storage?...if so ...its bad on a new boat and bad to bring it to a boatshow

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

yes it is, a poor cleaning job.

[@ross82]

“Little things like that” looked like an oversight.

[@marcelvdfvandamme5927]

Is it justified? Well, I guess it all comes down to the quality of the materials and components and a competitive price. There is a lot of competition. It looks good though.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

It certainly is a good looking boat, well put together.

[@01dumbfrog]

2m = 6’ 6.740” feet/inches

[@thomasthomas001]

: )

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

😁🤩

[@makechips]

Short answer, no not justified. Too many luxury “Blue Water” boats are anything but, everything is about luxury/comfort/amenities, what matters is survivability (water tight bulkheads, crash bulkheads, redundant/independent bilge pumps , owner/operator serviceable systems, etc).

[@rouslant]

Obviously, you say obviously way to often. Obviously.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Obviously, why isn't it obvious? why I say obviously a lot is because it's obvious to most, obviously. Still, it's a great sailboat obviously, I am glad you enjoyed the video?

[@tonyhalsall3170]

She has personality.. better this than a soulless AI commentary

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

@@tonyhalsall3170 Totally agree with you. Thank you😁😘
