Salona 45
Description
The Salona 45 represents a masterful synthesis of racing performance and cruising practicality, created by Croatia's J&J Design team with an understanding that sailors shouldn't have to choose between speed and comfort. Through innovative construction techniques, thoughtful safety features, and a generous masthead rig that delivers exceptional light-air performance, this yacht proves that compromise doesn't have to mean settling for less. Whether screaming along at 9+ knots in fresh breeze or ghosting through light air with her powerful 130% genoa, the Salona 45 provides the authentic sailing experience that performance-oriented cruisers seek. With her striking European styling, advanced construction methods, and proven seaworthiness, she stands as an outstanding example of how modern yacht design can honor traditional sailing values while embracing contemporary materials and engineering excellence.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
