Salthouse Boats 5.4

Compact, responsive, club‑race favourite

Purpose‑built for coaching Optimist, Laser and Wingfoiling, the 5.4 m Salthouse delivers the nimble handling coaches need in close quarters. Its solid GRP hull shrugs off knocks, while Hypalon tubes with 6 chambers, flush rub strakes and bow protection give athletes a stable, soft‑sided platform. Pair it with a 40–60 hp outboard and enjoy low‑running costs, effortless planing and a choice of a 54ltr or 80ltr built‑in fuel tank for a full day on the water. Three console and jockey‑seat layouts let you tailor sight‑lines and storage, and the SeaDek‑lined deck stays cool and grippy in every season. Water Ballast technology gives the advantage of adding up to 170kg of water ballast to the hull’s lowest point to enhance the superior stability and handling in rough seas. Taking only 2 minutes to fill and 3 minutes to release, as conditions change, coaches can seamlessly adjust their setup for optimal performance. Hydraulic steering, stainless hardware and water ballast come standard, just rig your preferred engine and go.
