Used Salona 38 Sailboats for Sale

The Salona 38, launched by AD Boats Ltd. in Solin, Croatia, represents a sophisticated midpoint in the manufacturer’s evolution as a specialist in performance cruising. Designed by J&J Design, this model was engineered to capture the "cruiser-racer" spirit, bridging the gap between the earlier Salona 37 and the later, more modern Salona 380. As part of the Croatian builder’s commitment to structural rigidity, the 38 features the brand's signature stainless steel internal frame, a heavy-duty grid that distributes the massive loads of the keel and mast directly into the hull structure. This engineering choice allows for higher rig tensions and a stiffer hull, distinguishing it from the high-volume, mass-production yachts typically found in the 35–40 foot range. Built using vacuum infusion with vinyl ester resins, the Salona 38 targets the discerning owner who prioritizes the sailing experience without sacrificing the amenities required for extended coastal cruising.
