1. A new Arcona 50 – exciting for us Arcona fans. One of these in dark wood and dare I say it, hard dodger, and I'm off and thinking about not coming back.

   Toby seems pleased. Great review with the requisite dozen or so As Well's.

2. I really love Arcona for making nice boats. Unfortunately I don’t like this one as it looks like any other 50ft sailboat. Here I miss the Arcona lightness and a bit of traditional fast hull shape and layout. Now it looks like any other (French) product. Same happened with X-yachts.

3. The oven tray 21:53 that fits in high & low positions in the sink is the bees knees & the hull windows look like they might be in the right vertical position for horizon viewing by a seated average height person.
   22:33 Coriander is a herb often used in curries, not normally used to make counter tops in sailboat galleys.
   Nice review 👍.

4. Same sterile interior you find at a hospital. No thanks even if I could afford it.

5. Toby'den çok güzel bir Pazar akşamı armağanı! Zevkle izleyeceğim.
   Bundan iyisi bir Azuree ya da Euphoria incelemesi olurdu 🙂

6. A Med-cruıser from a Swedısh brand? Beautıful boat. That chart table would be better wıth a back support. Beautiful main-sheet design on the floor (as long as it does not wear out the sheet)! Like the fake teak (sorry for my French).
   By the way, are there any respectable boat manufacturers left nowadays which still use polyester instead of vinyl ester?
   Too many push button controls. OK as long as you are in the north-west part of the world.

7. good morning!

8. daddy hodges with another killer boat. please stop by Fano and do the ITA 15.49, i'm really interested to see their updates!

9. WOW! Why did Arcona decide to chase the Beneteau type. What made them special was their Swedish ethos, not European charter type.

10. Thanks, Toby. Never even heard of this brand, so I appreciate your review!

11. Yet another Scandinavian yard that has compromised their traditional values and rock solid cruising designs to make a piece of art instead of a practical boat. It has a wide open fat transom which clearly when you were in the following see it was wallowing like a pig. Going to be incredibly uncomfortable in any adverse weather to sail. I bet you’re glad the wind did die down when you were going upwind, I bet that that hull shape was going to slap like a tuppeny whore into that swell.
    Why can’t you have dinghy davits off the back of the boat? Why do you need to compromise the interior volume of the yacht for style purposes? Why can’t you have a closed transom? Why can you not have dinghy davits? I don’t want the dinghy in the boat, I want space in the boat, what a ridiculous stylistic choice.
    Most people may very well use these boats in the Baltic or the Mediterranean, anchored in the harbours, or in marinas. You cannot avoid the weather forever and eventually you’re going to have to sail the boat somewhere! Even if its only to get the yacht fixed and they have compromised the safety of everyone on board with that fat wide-open transom and blade hung Rudders. it’s a damn shame. How many more boat sales do you really need?
    Why doesn’t anyone look to change the market? Be a leader. Why is it that we are all so lazy and morally bankrupt that we have to fold in with everyone else simply to cater to the stupid self-indulgent desires of the average human being!? There were plenty of yacht builders who made gin palaces & Marina Queens. The world did not need an another Beneteau or a Jeannau. The world needs another island packet or Kraken. You’re building yachts that are dangerous outside of being marina queens! They are overweight racing hulls, built like an IMOCA! How is that comfortable, in a seaway or at anchor?

12. Nice. But I'd rather have an Azuree 46…

13. Thank you for the nice review!

14. I prefer the 435… 😇

15. Beautifully built boat but why can’t designers do something better with the interior? It looks cheap and caravan like…I recently sold my Jeanneau 41ds which looked far more expensive down below and more like a yacht!

16. Very Swedish inspired interior is nice but sometimes can look a bit sterile front cabin being the exception. If it’s destined for med sailing would think a covered hood is a must . Otherwise it’s a bit ropey Toby.

17. Thank you Toby & thank you Yachting World.

18. Good bye Arcona. Thanks for all the nice boats you turned out until your untimely 'evolution' into just-another-sailboat producer.
