| Overview | On an Arcona 430, the person who was just at the helm is usually the first to dive off the stern. | You run a hand along the complex furniture radii and feel Dick Young / Rhodes Young joinery under the fingertips. |
| Typical issues | Q: Why does my Arcona 430 have one wheel when the brochure shows two? A: This is a known error in the shipyard's PDF materials: the description for the 410 was accidentally inserted into the 430 model section. | Q: Is every Najad 440 a centre-cockpit boat? A: No. The 440-2 hull ships as aft-cockpit (AC) and center-cockpit (CC) on the same underwater body. Do not shortlist every 440 as an HR 43-style centre only. Q: How do I tell 440-2 from the older 440-1? A: 440-2 is Judel/Vrolijk 2005-2017, about 13.50 × 4.03 m, spade rudder. |
