This relatively new brand and boat line is a partnership between J&J Design (Seaway) based in Slovenia, and AD Boats, a shipbuilder based in Croatia. J&J has been responsible for a number of the designs behind Bavaria yachts, as well as some award-winning work for Shipman.

But the big splash came in 2010-2011 when the Salona 42 started racking up awards – in particular, Sailing World magazine’s Boat of the Year 2011 award. Chosen from a short list of 19 nominated entries, the Salona 42 impressed due to its construction quality and excellent handling.
