Quite understandable is Salpa\'s reluctance to experiment with recognisable and successful appearance of the model, well accepted by boaters\' audience. New Salpa 39.5 built on platform of 38.5 model, therefore, survived just a minimal face lifting for modernisation and enhancing sporting image. Trendy hard top is the only one noticeable difference, and only by careful observing of the details one can notice the difference between the new (39.5) and the existing (38.5) Salpa - negligible changes of the bow, different lateral hull windows, almost twice longer aft swim platform and few other trifles. Boat\'s dimensions are also changed so construction length is now longer for around 14 and beam wider for 20 centimetres.
The same thing repeat itself in the interior, in which minor refreshing took place, while functionally devised layout had stayed the same (also here Salpa offers the conception that allows the boat owner to manage the spaces choosing according to the demands of that precise moment: to use the master cabin as a separate night zone or to enjoy greater spaces uniting the night zone to the dining room, only by opening a sliding wooden wall). Standard engines are renowned diesels of 2x410 HP.
