    The Arcona 50 is the first model designed by Jeppesen & Pons, and the flagship of the Arcona fleet. This captivating 50ft performance cruiser marks a step change for Arcona Yachts with a new design collaboration and many new design features. With over 6000 yachts on the water and a ¾ ton cup winning race pedigree, Principal Designer, Niels Jeppesen, and Yacht Designer & Naval Architect, Ariadna Pons, bring a wealth of experience to Arcona Yachts. The brief for Jeppesen & Pons’ first Arcona was to design a 50-foot performance cruiser that can be easily handled by two people, while simultaneously delivering in terms of cruising comfort and sailing performance, in true Arcona style. Created to go further, this yacht forges ahead in all design aspects, setting a new standard to meet the high demands of our customers, whether it’s their ambition to go cruising the Stockholm Archipelago, push it on the racecourse or cross an ocean. The Arcona 50 is ideal for safe and comfortable long distance performance cruising. In a first for Arcona, this new flagship has twin rudders, with aluminium rudder stocks as a standard, providing more control in the water. Another first for Arcona is the addition of a dinghy garage. Watertight composite bulkheads separate the accommodation from both the bow sail locker and the dinghy garage. Also new to Arcona are the L-shaped cockpit benches and the two cockpit tables, which improve functionality and enable guests and crew to move around the cockpit more easily under sail. Liferaft locker recessed into the cockpit floor, halyard and sheet lockers under the side decks in front of the helmsman. Aft coaming lockers to hide the yacht’s gas bottles and shore power socket. The Arcona 50 has twin wheels as standard, and the cockpit layout and the sail handling systems are set up for shorthanded sailing and ease of use. She has a three-spreader mast with discontinuous rod rigging plus double hydraulic backstay cylinders with a central pumpstation. A carbon mast and furling carbon boom is available as an upgrade. There is an optional inner forestay to attach a furling heavy weather jib for ocean passages. There is also the option for a bowsprit for easily controllable use of asymmetric sails. The central single mainsheet block is recessed below the cockpit floor. The yacht is available with an electrically operated mainsheet traveller track, also recessed below the cockpit floor, as an upgrade. Next to the winches, there are dedicated lockers for halyards and sheets enabling the cockpit to be ‘clean’. Under power, an standard 80hp or optional 100Hp common rail engine propels a folding propeller, keeping vibrations and noise to a minimum. Optional retractable thrusters will secure maximum manoeuvrability in narrow marinas. Below deck minimalist Scandinavian elegance permeates every detail. The interior is made in Khaya Mahogany and can be upgraded to Scandinavian Light Oak. As seen in superyachts, but new to Arcona, the woodwork is cored to maximise weight-saving without compromising on the aesthetics. The galley has lots of practical stowage, a gimballed cooker with oven and a generously-sized sink and fridge. The galley layout enables easy access to the L-shaped saloon seating. There is the option to choose an alternative layout with U-shaped seating and an additional worktop space. The saloon table has an additional seat to starboard that can be moved and locked into position. The owners’ cabin features a Kingsize bed, lots of storage and an en-suite with a separate shower. For guests, there is an additional heads with a separate shower area. The two aft cabins have double berths as standard and can be upgraded to a convertible twin berth configuration. Lots of natural light flows from the large hull windows and flush hatches which creates the feeling of more space. Arcona offers a broad range of cushion fabrics and colour options for you to choose from to personalise your Arcona. Like all boats in the Arcona fleet, the Arcona 50 reflects the quality expected from Swedish boatbuilders, using the best materials, techniques and trusted handpicked suppliers. Hull, deck and internal structure will be made of vacuum infused Divinycell cored GRP with strategic important areas reinforced with carbon. This carbon reinforcements are useful for both strength and weight-saving. As with all Arcona yachts, the Arcona 50 also features a galvanised steel keel frame.

    Moody 34

    Portishead, Avon, United Kingdom
    1986
    $38,959

    For sale here is our 1986 Moody 34 “Ruhig” which we just finished sailing down to Portishead in the Bristol Channel from cruising the Western Isles of Scotland. She’s well suited for British sailing and is kitted out for heavy weather with a removable inner forestay, reefing lines led to the cockpit and 100m of ground tackle and oversized Rocna for deep anchorages. The Moody 34 is a fin keel (bilge keel options were available) with skeg hung rudder design by renowned designer Bill Dixon and built in Falmouth. She’s centre cockpit (as centre cockpit as you can be on a 34 foot boat) with a nice aft cabin that we’ve loved for the full-time cruising we’ve been doing since we bought her. Prior to our ownership, she was owned by another couple who took time off to circumnavigate Ireland and she comes with a complete history of paperwork and bills of sale all the way back to the builder’s certificate in 1986.   I’ll put all the boat specs and kit below but some additions we’re particularly fond of are: - Removable inner forestay - She comes with a stay that can be moved back and forth as you need it in heavy weather with a hank on stay sail. There were multiple times in the Clyde and the Western Isles where the wind would pick up and rather than sail, under reefed genoa, we’d roll in the entire sail and just jog along under reefed main and storm jib very comfortably. The 150% genoa also has 3 spares and is on an oversized Furlex roller furling for reefing off the wind. - Oversized ground tackle - I like to sleep soundly and the best way we’ve found is to have oversized modern anchor and a tonne of chain. Last year we fitted a 20kg Rocna anchor, 80m of 8mm galvanized chain with 20m of heavy nylon braid and never looked back. We’d routinely select deeper water in the anchorage where there were less boats when others simply couldn’t anchor. Summer and winter 2024 was also particularly bad and we’d sit out the worst storms on anchor by scoping 6:1 or more and never dragged. - Jacklines and Preventers - Although a small addition, the Moody 34 is well set up to have boom preventers that can be set from within the cockpit. For downwind and offshore sailing this has been a must for us and we’re super happy with the way the system is set up. Same goes for jacklines that run down the centre of the boat, so you can never actually reach the deck edge.   - Features and Kit (working back to front) - - Exterior - - 20kg Rocna anchor- 80m 8mm chain + 20m rope rode marked at 10m intervals- Various snubbers etc in bow locker- Lowrance electric windlass- Oversized Furlex roller furler- Removable inner forestay with strom jib- Sailpack with main (spare main in forward cabin storage)- Single line reefing with lines led aft to cockpit- Spray hood with spare and full cockpit tent- Small solar panel (enough to maintain batteries and run lights, nav etc but not enough for diesel heater)- Recently serviced Autohelm autopilot- Honwave dingy- Honda 23 Outboard- Liferaft (out of date)- Rear crane/davit for dingy mourning and outboard lifting etc.- Jacklines, preventers and spare lines (cockpit locker has lots of spare lines for everything)- Various spare sails, 2 spare 150% genoas, storm jib, spare main sail- Spare spray hood- Cockpit tent/enclosure- Spare delta anchor with 30m chain - Interior - - 1200W Victron inverter (for 240V offshore)- Victron Bluesmart charge controller- Solar charge controller- Renogy battery management system and monitor installed in saloon- Immersion water heater for shore power- Engine calorifier for offshore- Seperated engine and house bank- Diesel heater with remote control- Midland neptune 100 VHF radio- Plastimo Atlantic gimballing stove- Pioneer radio connected into 100W speakers in saloon- Isotherm fridge - On to the specs - Builder: Moody YachtsDesigner: Bill DixonYear Built: 1986Length Overall (LOA): 10.21m (33.5ft)Beam: 3.56m (11.67ft)Draft (Fin Keel): 1.52m (5ft)Displacement: 5,080kgKeel Type: Fin KeelAir Draft: 12.4m (40.66ft)Fuel Capacity: 160LWater Capacity: 182L - Construction - Hull Material: GRPHull Configuration: Fin keel and skeg hung rudderSteering: Wheel steering with pedestal - Engine & Systems - Engine: Thornycroft T90 inboard diesel (Engine number:680 Serial:9751)Heating: Planar Diesel heating system - Sails & Rigging - Rig Type: Sloop with removable inner forestay and adjustable backstay - Sails Inventory - 2x Mainsail3x Headsails 2x 150% genoa 1x 120%jibHank-on storm jib - Accommodation - Berths: 6 2 in forward cabin with V-berth2 in spacious aft cabin with double berthConvertible double berth on saloon starboard sideSea berth with lee cloths on port side - Galley - Two-burner plastimo atlantic stoveIsotherm fridgeStainless steel double sink with hot and cold pressurized water - Heads - Jabsco marine toiletBasin with shower head and shower curtain (shower drain pump - Nav Station - Chart table with storage and seatingElectrical panel and instrumentation including back-up depth sounder - Sail Handling - Winches:2x primary2x secondary (great for running as a cutter or for managing preventers)1x halyard winch under spray hood Ruhig is in the water in Portishead Marina near Bristol and is ready to take her next owners on their adventure.
