Salar 40
Strongly built ocean cruiser with an enviable reputation. Designed by Laurent Giles. Built in the UK in 1968 to Lloyds A1.
Purchased by us in 1991 in Germany. Arrived in Australia on her own bottom in 1995. Since then she has given us years of safe, comfortable sailing, but now needs more sprightly owners to use and care for her.
