Notes

aka SALTERNS SALAR
Originally SALMO SALAR. (Submitted for 'Yachting World' design competition in 1966.)
Design intended for wood contruction. FG version from Moody's.
Offered as sloop or ketch. The ketch version was also called the Salar Buccaneer. With the Buccaneer, the designers took the opportunity to add to and improve the accommodation and layout (design #646).
