Arcona
Arcona 370
The Arcona 370 (2010–, 11.23 m LOA, 3.7 m beam) is a compact Swedish cruiser-racer that still offers two-cabin liveaboard practicality. She suits experienced couples who want responsive helm feel without maintaining a 42-footer. Build quality remains high: solid laminate, thoughtful hardware, and interiors that prioritise function over showroom gloss. Market liquidity is thinner than Beneteau or Jeanneau equivalents, but retained value is strong when maintenance records are complete.
LOA 11.1 m
Arcona
Arcona 430
Arcona 430 (2015–, 13.12 m LOA, 4.01 m beam) blends Swedish build quality with a more performance-oriented hull than classic Hallberg-Rassy cruisers. She is aimed at owners who cruise fast passages but still want heated interior volume and offshore-ready structure. The deck layout supports shorthanded sailing with in-mast furling options common on later hulls. Expect crisp upwind angles and a firmer ride than pure comfort cruisers—ideal for Baltic triangle weeks and longer North Sea hops.

Bavaria
Bavaria 36 Cruiser
The Bavaria 36 Cruiser is one of Northern Europe's most recognisable production sailboats. Designed by J&J Design and built from 2002 to 2004 — Bavaria 36 Cruiser high-liquidity family cruiser on Baltic listings. The model sits in the sweet spot for couples and small families cruising the Baltic, Skagerrak, and North Sea. The Bavaria 36 Cruiser is tracked by FairHelm because it appears regularly on Blocket, Scanboat, and northern European brokerage sites. Bavaria 36 Cruiser high-liquidity famil…

Beneteau
Oceanis 37
The Beneteau Oceanis 37 is a Finot/Conq aft-cockpit production cruiser built from 2006 to 2012. FairHelm judgment: reject open 2014– catalogue years and any mix-up with the later Oceanis 37.1 (Marc Lombard, from 2023). This page covers the mid-2000s Oceanis 37 also sold as Beneteau 37 and, in charter fleets, as Moorings 37.2. Principal figures from sailboatdata: LOA 11.48 m, beam 3.91 m, displacement about 6.35 t, shallow draft near 1.40 m with a deeper keel option around 1.90 m. Volume product…
LOA 11.48 m
Beneteau
Oceanis 40
The Oceanis 40 (2016–, 12.87 m LOA, 4.18 m beam) steps up interior volume with a twin-cabin or three-cabin market focus and a wide transom that aids form stability in harbour but can feel lively in steep seas. She is popular with first-time offshore buyers who want a known brand and ready financing. FairHelm tracks her as a comparator to Dufour 382 and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379—expect similar maintenance economics with slightly more living space aft.

Dufour
Dufour 382
The Dufour 382 Grand Large is an Umberto Felci production cruiser built from 2014 to 2019. FairHelm judgment: reject fixture dims of 11.67×3.76 and open-ended 2014–null years; treat principal figures as LOA 11.25 m and beam 3.85 m from sailboatdata. This is a French Grand Large family boat in the mid-30s LOA band, not a Swedish semi-custom twin and not automatically the later Grand Large 390. Displacement is about 7.06 t with draft near 1.90 m; shoal options appear in yard notes. Social cockpit…
