Salona 37

The Salona 37 standard layout features a 2-cabin/single-head arrangement with a mahogany interior. This model has alternative layouts as well as options in choice of interior wood. Salona 37 includes the option of easily demountable port and starboard interior cabinetry, removable saloon table, and removable cockpit-transom bench to "strip down" to flat-out racing mode, remarkable engineering to maximize 2-way use and prove to sailors "they can have it all."

The boat has a modern stainless steel frame but, very unusually, the stainless steel frame is encapsulated in a fibre-glass box ensuring that there are no steel – fibre-glass weak points which in turn offers immense strength and longevity to the structure. This category A boat is extremely fast, sails easily in light breezes and yet very responsive to whatever conditions might be encountered and is easily managed by a two man crew. Its design and style of operation ensures that manoeuverability is second nature.
