Boat Details
Description
Bluebird is a superb example of the Arcona 435 Mk I lightly used, carefully maintained, and offering a great mix of Scandinavian craftsmanship, performance, and comfort. She’s seen very little sailing since new and has been exceptionally well looked after, making her a rare find in this condition.
With her sleek lines and proven hull design, Bluebird is quick, responsive, and a real pleasure to sail—whether you’re cruising short-handed or with a full crew. Built around Arcona’s signature galvanised steel cradle system, she feels solid and secure in all conditions, delivering strength, stability, and confidence under sail.
Her powerful fractional rig is well-balanced and manageable, with all lines led aft for easy handling from the cockpit. She’s a versatile performer—just as happy cruising as she is picking up speed when the wind picks up.
Down below, her classic mahogany interior is warm and inviting, with very little sign of wear thanks to her minimal use. The layout is practical and comfortable, perfect for longer trips or relaxed weekends away.
Whether you’re after performance cruising or just a beautifully built yacht to enjoy time on the water, Bluebird is ready to go—barely used, well maintained, and built to sail.
