Salt 57 - A powerful Yacht
Posted on 03/13/2007 EST @ 11:23 under: Cruising Sailing Yachts, Garcia
The launch of the first of Garcia bateaux new SALT range confirmed their excellence in design and sailing experience.
The SALT 57 is beautifully balanced and has rewarded us with exceptional sailing qualities.
With tight canvas and a well balanced ballasted daggerboard, this yacht is truly magnificent both in terms of comfort and sailing.
Salt 57 is a powerful yacht which responds well to the challenges offered at sea, whilst remaining light at the helm.
The cockpit extended by a true watch station (pilot house), which is both comfortable and flexible, is immediately appealing. The integration of this "pilot house" in the general design is definitely a winner.
This is an exceptional yacht with a design that is both refined and contemporary, deceptively spacious, with meticulous attention to detail, ergonomically designed to maximise both comfort and functionality.
