In 2007, the Salona 37 won Sailing World Magazine's Boat of the Year Award for Best Cruiser/Racer. After thorough inspections and test sails of the 19 nominated boats, an independent panel of experts selected the Salona 37 as the winner of the Cruiser/Racer category.
In an article published in Sailing World January/February 2007, judges were impressed with the stainless steel structural grid in the bilge, cockpit layout, ease of sailing and acceleration, ability to quickly switch between cruising and racing modes and the overall fit and finish of the Salona 37.
