What this video covers

The Arcona 50, displayed at the Orust boat show, features a fiberglass hull with a polyester resin layup, prioritizing cruising comfort over the carbon construction of the Arcona 465. Designed by Niels Jeppesen, the 50-foot vessel incorporates a Mediterranean-style layout with a focus on ease of handling for couples.0:13 All control lines, including the gennaker tack line, run beneath the deck to maintain a clean aesthetic. The helmsman manages all sail controls from the steering position, supported by a self-tacking jib. Below deck, the oak interior features a main bulkhead with integrated shelving designed to conceal a television. Diesel and water tanks sit beneath the saloon floor to centralize weight. The boat includes a John Mast painted aluminum rig with rod rigging. Priced at 879,000 euros, the Arcona 50 offers more interior volume and a larger forward owner's cabin than the X 4.9, though it lacks the epoxy hull and heavier keel found on that model.
