MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

All the superlatives that you are looking for. An unrivalled level of self-sufficiency in its class, the biggest sail area to weight ratio in its class, standard or flybridge helmsman area, standard or square top mainsail, and 2,3 or 4 cabins.

BALI 4.5 is built in the Catana shipyards in France, using the best quality materials. Using the closed-cell PVC foam sandwich construction and hull fabrication by infusion ensure rigidity, durability, and weight reduction. The design and the height of the nacelle allows a better passage through water and with that a higher level of comfort and safety. With the mast moved further aft there is more space for a larger self-tacking jib and with the self-tacking system, greater manoeuvrability. The sail area and weight ratio is the biggest in its class and that brings the performance that you would expect from a Catana catamaran.

Enjoy the best of what cruising has to offer. A unique freshness of the saloon with large, fully retractable windows, exceptional amount of daylight with a panoramic view from the saloon and an equipment level that will satisfy the most demanding sailors. Elegant design and interior décor arranged to provide you with a stay that is as pleasant as your own home.
