About the SALONA 34
Race (deeper) keel draft: 2.14m/7.02' Reported SA = Main + furling genoa
The Salona 34 is a fractional sloop designed by J&J Design and built by AD Boats in Croatia between 2008 and 2011. With a displacement of 10803.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 22.21, it offers a balanced blend of performance and stability for its 32.78 ft LOA.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a modern fractional rig for easy handling and a comfortable interior, rather than heavy bluewater expeditionary travel.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.99 and a displacement of 10803.0 lb, the Salona 34 is stable enough for coastal passages but lacks the heavy displacement and robust construction typically required for serious offshore bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- It competes with other European fractional sloops from the late 2000s, such as the Beneteau First 34.7 or the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349, sharing similar fractional rigging and performance-oriented hull forms.
