Established in 2021 by three highly respected Finnish boat builders, Quarken has enjoyed an almost comically auspicious start to life. Its debut model immediately scooped the MBY Sportsboat of the Year award for its great looks, keen pricing and brilliant dayboating flexibility. That has since been joined by a T-Top V2 model, which addresses the original T-Top’s absent cooking facilities with a transverse wet bar at the transom. And another new model has now emerged, again on the same 27ft platform, but this time with all the four-season practicality that an enclosed pilothouse brings.
SENSITIVE UPGRADES
As on the T-Top model, rather than opting for a full walkaround design, Quarken has offset the wheelhouse to starboard to create more space inside the cabin at the expense of a starboard side deck. That leaves room for a deep walkway along the port side, linking the aft cockpit with the more spacious foredeck lounge up front.
