The Salona 42, designed by J&J Design and launched in the mid-2000s, stands as a pivotal model for the Croatian builder AD Boats. It was engineered to bridge the gap between high-speed regatta contenders and comfortable Mediterranean cruisers, a niche often referred to as "performance cruising." Built with a sophisticated vacuum-infusion process using vinyl ester resins, the hull is reinforced by Salona’s signature stainless steel internal frame. This structural grid absorbs the massive loads from the keel and mast, allowing for a lighter laminate elsewhere without sacrificing the stiffness required for competitive windward performance.
