The Fountaine Pajot Salina 48, introduced in 2007 as a successor to the Bahia 46, represented a significant shift in the French builder’s design philosophy toward a more streamlined, lower-profile aesthetic. Designed by the acclaimed naval architecture firm Berret-Racoupeau, the Salina 48 was built to bridge the gap between high-volume charter catamarans and more agile, owner-focused blue-water cruisers. Its defining characteristic is a notably low center of gravity, achieved through a sleek deckhouse and a semi-flybridge helm station that sits lower than modern "flybridge" designs, preserving the vessel’s stability and reducing windage. In 2012, the model was refreshed as the Salina 48 Evolution, which introduced advanced resin transfer molding (RTM) technology and interior refinements inspired by the shipyard’s flagship range.
