2018 Arcona 435 Mk I

Checkmate is an extremely well-presented example of the highly regarded Arcona 435 Mk I, combining Scandinavian build quality with impressive performance and cruising comfort. Designed by Stefan Qviberg, the 435 is known for her balanced helm, responsive sailing characteristics in all conditions. Built using vacuum-infused construction, she is light, stiff, and strong, making her equally suited to fast cruising or competitive sailing. Below deck, Checkmate features Arcona’s trademark high-quality joinery, and practical layout, and comfortable accommodation ideal for extended time aboard. A proven, versatile cruiser-racer from one of Europe’s most respected yards, Checkmate is an excellent opportunity for sailors seeking performance without compromise.
