Arcona 430

Well-maintained and extensively equipped Arcona 430 with many upgrades in recent years. Alpha 7 instruments (2025), Axiom plotter/radar (2023), new SD-60 saildrive (2024), solar panels bonded to the coachroof (2023), new rudder bearings (2025), carbon fiber wheel, UK X-drive carbon, LightSkin, sails, and full comfort.

We’re now selling Nika! Grandchildren and, for us, a new summer house in the Stockholm archipelago mean we simply won’t have the time to sail. Our beautiful Arcona 430 needs a new home.

Nika was originally built for an employee at Arcona Yachts, who sailed her for twelve years. He made sure everything was installed to perfection with no compromises. The boat is truly "fully loaded" in terms of performance trim and sailing efficiency, as well as comfort for cruising. Nika (formerly Wilma) won the Gotland Runt Regatta in the double-handed class in 2018. She’s an excellent sailing yacht that’s easy to handle with just two people.

Here’s how the model is described by Arcona in the UK:
"The 430 was the 2009 European Yacht of the Year, applauded as the ideal cruiser-racer, combining race-winning speed and heart-warming comfort."

Registered under call sign SFE-5253.
Three cabins, two toilets, shower, heater, hot water. Additional insert to create a double berth in the saloon. Sea berths neatly hidden beneath the cushions.
