Solaris 50 - Salt

Price Now Reduced: AUD $1,690,000

This exquisite Solaris 50 Yacht is now berthed in Middle Harbour in Sydney. Presenting as new, SALT is offered for sale by her original owner. She presents an opportunity to step into one of the world's most respected performance cruiser racers at a significant saving on a new order and without the extended build times. Toby Hodges of Yachting World called her 'arguably the sexiest 50-foot mono hull out there' and summed her up with three words: luxury, style and performance.

SALT was customised with an immense list of upgrades. Just a few of the more significant items include:

  • Hall Spars carbon mast and carbon V boom with rod rigging.
  • Stunning painted topsides.
  • Full teak decks with grey caulking... Style, durability, and comfort underfoot.
  • Air conditioning and heating system.
  • Bow thruster.
  • Comprehensive instrument package.
  • Sail wardrobe by Norths; 3Di main, 3Di jibs, Code Zero and Asymmetric.
  • 4 electric Harken winches, 2 additional winches, self-tacking jib track, genoa tracks, and carbon bow sprit.
  • SALT has a three cabin, two head layout and boasts a real tender garage for convenient storage of water toys, dinghy, or additional equipment.

Solaris has been building and refitting vessels in Italy by the sea for 40 years. They employ best of the best building practices using high quality materials. The composite bulkheads are laminated to the hull and deck (not glued), chainplates are composite, and the hull is married to the deck with fibreglass - this all creates a super stiff and strong 'cage' like structure giving safety and speed with no creaks and cracks. Building models up to 111 feet, this is a yard with serious experience, knowledge, and passion for beautifully practical sailing vessels.

The Solaris 50 is not just about looks; she is the epitome of how a racer/cruiser should be. SALT is a head-turner with pedigree and performance to back it up.

SALT is available for inspection on Middle Harbour. Contact Tim Vine for further details.
