2011 Salona Yachts XXXVIII - 38

Under the Salona name, the new Salona 38 has extremely hard task – to beat our best-selling model, Salona 37 (eU and US Yacht of the year). As on all our models the big stainless steel frame takes loads from the keel and shrouds and spreads them securely to a wide area of the hull. On the new Salona 38 we have gone step further in achieving maximum stiffness and durability of the boat by adding layers of carbon fibre on carefully analyzed areas of hull inner liner to obtain equilibrium of stainless steel structure and inner liner attached to it. In order to optimize performance, Jason Ker, America’s Cup designer, has designed and optimized special performance keel with lower center of gravity and he has significantly improved ballast to weight ratio and hydrodynamics of the keel with the use of the latest computational
