Salona 45

Click here to download a virtual tour of The Salona 45

The Salona 45, designed by J&J Designs, is a true performance-cruiser. Stiff and powerfull, yet responsive in light winds. The Salona 45 has "water tight" bulkheads (using glands to house the passing wires). The Salona 45 has been built with multiaxial handlaminated GRP sandwich construction (AIREX and PVC closed cells). The first layers of laminate have been made with vinylester resin, giving the perfect anti-osmosis protection to the hull.

The Salona 45 offers a three and four cabin layout with two heads. Beautifuly varnished light american cherry-wood furniture makes the living environment functional and spaceous. High quality gloss varnish apllication perfectly matches the comfortable suroundings below deck. The three or four cabin versions will perfectly suit the needs of the 6 or 8 people crew.
