Major recent works include a complete Z-Spars mast replacement in 2025, full standing rigging replacement in 2025, new Profurl C430 furler in 2025, new Incidence mainsail and genoa in 2024, upgraded solar capacity to approximately 2,300W, Victron AGM service batteries, generator, Aquabase 105L/h watermaker, Starlink, Garmin navigation suite, air conditioning/heating, new refrigeration, washing machine, recent antifouling and recent engine servicing.She is the desirable 4-cabin, 4-heads layout with additional single berths and prepared forepeaks, giving generous accommodation for family cruising, blue-water passagemaking or extended liveaboard use.This is a Salina 48 which should be viewed not simply as a 2009 catamaran, however as a substantially updated and properly equipped long-distance cruising platform with many of the expensive refit items already addressed.Brokers Comments The Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 has long been respected as a capable, comfortable ocean cruising catamaran, offering the space and independence expected of a serious 48ft multihull. Designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Fountaine Pajot, the model combines generous accommodation, manageable sailing systems and strong liveaboard practicality.What makes this particular Salina 48 especially competitive is the concentration of recent investment in the areas buyers care about most.The 2025 mast replacement, 2025 standing rigging, 2025 Profurl furler and 2024 Incidence sails are extremely significant on a catamaran of this age. These are major-value items and immediately separate her from many comparable listings where buyers must budget for future rig, sail or structural expenditure.Her cruising independence is also a major strength. The specification includes a Cummins Onan 9.5kVA generator, Aquabase 105L/h watermaker, approximately 2,300W solar capacity, Victron charging and inverter equipment, 720Ah service battery bank, Starlink, Garmin electronics, air conditioning/heating, substantial refrigeration and washing machine.EU VAT Paid status is another important advantage for European buyers, especially when comparing against non-VAT-paid cruising catamarans in the Mediterranean.In our opinion, this is a very strong Salina 48 offering: competitively priced, EU VAT Paid, comprehensively equipped and benefiting from a recent refit programme focused on the expensive, practical and safety-critical areas of ownership.Additional InfoEngines & PropulsionEngines: 2 x Volvo Penta D2-55Power: 55hp eachYear: 2009Hours:
