What this video covers

The Salona 37, built at the Solin yard in Croatia on the site of the ancient Roman city of Salona, is a 37-foot production cruiser-racer whose hull lines — fine bow sections, minimal flare, and restrained sheer — reflect racing influence.▶ 0:00 The hull uses orthophthalic resins in the inner laminate layers and isophthalic resins on the exterior to resist osmosis.▶ 0:55 Two watertight bulkheads, fore and aft, earned the boat an Ocean Class A certification.▶ 0:57 The aluminium Sparkcraft Performance mast is standard equipment; Arken deck hardware handles running rigging led aft to a cockpit fitted with 10 rope stoppers and two size-40 winches.▶ 1:25 The mainsail is large relative to the boat's length, paired with a 120% genoa; the furler drum is hidden inside the anchor locker to maximise sail area.▶ 1:13 The mainsheet traveller sits on the cockpit sole near the helm.▶ 1:41 On the water in under 10 knots of wind, the boat accelerates quickly when sails are trimmed, holds speed at tight angles, and produces a clean, turbulence-free wake on broader points of sail.▶ 2:27
