bali 4.0 catamaran interior

• Model Range

To offer a pleasant living space that offers privacy and a panoramic view of the surroundings. Based on this philosophy, BALI catamarans launched the BALI 4.0 LOUNGE at the 2015 Cannes Boat Show. Bringing the innovations seen on the BALI 4.3 Loft - large and entirely open living spaces with forward cockpit and sunbathing area, unique self-sufficiency, meticulous build quality and competitive prices - the BALI 4.0 LOUNGE completes the BALI Catamarans range, making them accessible to a wide audience. On top of that, the BALI 4.0 LOUNGE brings all the safety and performance you would expect from a CATANA.

Innovation: Open space and panoramic views of the sea

BALI 4.0 LOUNGE distinguishes itself with an open space saloon and cockpit that can be turned into one space by opening an immense tilting glass door with electric rams. Doing this, the saloon becomes a terrace with a sea view in seconds…

Relaxation: Sailing and fun in Lounge mode Forward cockpit that includes a sitting area with removable tables and a large sundeck instead of the conventional trampoline. Additional living space with a sundeck on the coach roof. 

Comfort: when the interior becomes the exterior As it is the case with bigger BALI models, the BALI 4.0 offers an impressive amount of daylight in its interior. The big opening windows provide an unbeatable amount of fresh air and a panoramic view of the surroundings, while the hull windows bring additional ventilation. Its technical equipment will satisfy even the most demanding sailors, and the most demanding cooks. In the front part of the salon you will find a modern and fully equipped kitchen that enables you to cook with a sea view.

Practicality: Unique level of self sufficiency for a 40 foot catamaran. With an 800 l water tank and a 400 l fuel tank, an exceptionally big refrigerator and freezer, big batteries, state of the art kitchen and the displacement of just 8.6 t, the BALI 4.0 will take you further than you could have ever imagined.

Bali 4.0 – tested and reviewed

Bali’s new 4.0 Lounge stands apart from the catamaran crowd thanks to some revolutionary design features. Sam Jefferson reports

F or those looking to charter a yacht this summer, and browsing the options out there, it won’t take you long to realise that it’s more expensive to hire a multihull than the equivalent-sized monohull.

There’s a very good reason for this and it is simply that the market doesn’t lie. The modern multihull offers more space and greater comfort levels than the equivalent monohull and this is naturally reflected in the cost of charter.

And yet if you actually choose to buy a 40ft (12.2m) catamaran as compared to a similarly specc’d monohull, the price difference is negligible. Why is this?

It’s a very good question and it probably has a good deal to do with the fact that cruising multihulls have traditionally had a reputation for being a little, well, shall we say uninspiring performance-wise?   Particularly on the wind. This is fine for a holiday, but not something you want to put up with permanently. 

Yet manufacturers are getting so much smarter. The days when your typical cruising cat wouldn’t nudge much nearer to the wind than a close reach are long gone and the latest generation promise supreme comfort and performance.

A company that has been at the forefront of this renaissance has been Catana – with models such as the Catana 42 boasting excellent comfort levels but also daggerboards, sleek hulls and a powerful sail area which provide a beguiling mix of performance and comfort. But the average cruising sailor is intimidated by technicalities such as daggerboards and perhaps this is the reason that Catana’s new Bali range is causing a stir. Its new boats don’t have daggerboards, but it seems to have hit upon an excellent blend of speed and comfort while featuring all sorts of innovative ideas.

Boxing clever

With a length of 39ft, a beam of 22ft and towering freeboard combined with some angular styling, the Bali 4.0 is… well, boxy. In order to provide the extra space we all covet, catamarans have been getting more and more beamy, but in fact, the Bali is slimmer than some of its rivals. On first impressions, though, Bali has embraced the inevitable boxiness rather than fighting it, and I say, hats off to them on that score.

The result is an incredibly roomy 40-footer with all sorts of clever design features, not to mention a quite bewildering feeling of space. This is also far more than just a floating caravan; a lot of thought has gone into her lines – penned by French multihull maestros Olivier Poncin and Xavier Fay. In order to guarantee a reasonable level of performance, the pair opted to use a vacuum-infused foam-cored sandwich construction which provides a very stiff hull. This is further complemented by the fact that the Bali rather unusually eschews the forward trampoline in favour of a solid foredeck which provides further rigidity – not to mention extra space.

Although there is a big emphasis on space aboard the Bali, the wetted profile is actually very fine due to the ‘step’ in the hull just above the waterline that provides both extra internal volume and also serves as a spray deflector. Below the waterline she features two keel stubs to provide grip to windward and these are augmented by a pair of moulded-in skegs which improve her ability to point, but also have a sacrificial use in the event of a grounding.

The flybridge helm with its curious little bimini makes for a higher boom, which raises the centre of effort of the fat-headed main. But the rig is stepped well aft, right atop the coachroof, which affords a much larger headsail than most cruising cats. The result is a versatile sail plan with a working sail area of 860sq ft compared with 706sq ft for the similarly proportioned Nautitech 40.

Almost as soon as you step aboard the Bali you are confronted with what is to my mind the piece de resistance of this yacht. Initially you think the cockpit is broad but rather narrow – there’s little more than a metre between the stern and the aft bulkhead. But then you discover that the entire bulkhead flips up – garage door style – presenting you with a massive open space, all on the level with no protruding frames or runners. To my mind it’s the ultimate solution to the indoor/outdoor dilemma that all cruising catamarans wrestle with.

You might expect such a huge item to be difficult or unwieldy to raise and lower, yet it hisses up and down on hydraulic struts with ease and the locking mechanism to hold it in place is also gratifyingly simple. The Bali also features a very clever system for raising and lowering the tender into the water which utilises a stainless steel frame that drops down into the water and creates a useful step for getting aboard. 

Head upwards a couple of steps and you’re on the flybridge, which is offset to starboard and provides excellent all round vision, with only a small section of the port quarter not in full view. All the main control lines are led to this helming area and everything is easily within reach making, this a highly manageable yacht for a couple. Many early cruising catamarans suffered from the problem of leaving the helmsman up on the bridge in splendid isolation, but since then efforts have been made to remedy this and the Bali features a very comfortable lounging area adjacent to the helming station, while the offset helm means that there is much closer contact with the main seating area below. 

The side decks are wide and the handrail moulded into the cabin top is a nice touch. Ahead of this is the foredeck, which on most multihulls is dominated by the trampoline and is essentially dead space. Not so on the Bali, where the solid foredeck provides space for a simply huge second dining area around a pair of tables. In fact, it’s more of a conference area, as you could seat 10 out here without difficulty.

A clever drop-down front window means that you can pass food out with ease. The temptation for more agile crew members to clamber through is also immense. In rough weather, this could provide a safer alternative route to access the foredeck. Essentially, it means the Bali has two cockpits and an unprecedented amount of outdoor space. There is also plentiful storage up forward, both beneath the bench seats and in the voluminous anchor locker.

Acres of space

It’s rather a nonsense to use the term ‘down below’ on modern catamarans – particularly this one – as the outdoor space is designed to merge with the interior. That said, with the ‘garage door’ lowered, you feel secure and totally enclosed while also benefiting from an incredible near panoramic view thanks to the acres of windows.

The interior is uncomplicated, with a large dining table and bench seats in the indoor/outdoor section of the yacht. Head forward and you have the galley area with steps down on each side which lead to the berths. To my mind, the very openness and feeling of space here could be a liability in bad weather, because of a shortage of decent handholds or places to secure yourself. That said, catamarans are less prone to uncomfortable movement at sea. There is a small nav area just to starboard of the galley and this affords an excellent view if you were planning on navigating from the comfort of the interior using the autopilot. 

The yacht I tested featured an owner’s cabin with en suite that took up the entirety of the starboard hull. The port hull was split into two separate berths with a shared heads compartment. Inevitably, there is an option for an extra cabin if you opt to do away with the owner’s suite. This arrangement will doubtless be favoured by yachts on the charter market. On the flip side, you can opt for a version with just two double cabins both with en suites. Overall, the quality of the finish was very good and the feeling of light and space, even in the sleeping areas, was really impressive.

So far, so good, but now came the real test as we headed out into Southampton Water in a very modest breeze that fluctuated between 8kt and 12kt. I had high hopes and was not disappointed.

There is one electric winch for getting the mainsail up, which is always a blessing on these multihulls. But as we discovered when it came to stowing the sail in its stack pack at the end of the test, the high boom makes it hard to manhandle the main. You have to use a step built into the mast for the purpose. Other than that, sail handling was a doddle.

That enormous sail area and big headsail gave her plenty of power and a good feeling of balance and we were soon reaching along at 8kt-plus, which was not half bad in the fickle conditions and made me wonder how she would go in a good stiff breeze. On the wind, she was still able to maintain 6kt and tacked through around 80 degrees – a clear improvement on many of Bali’s predecessors. 

The steering took a bit of getting used to, as it was disconcertingly light, yet once I adjusted to it, I found it was quite responsive and the boat was actually quite playful to handle. Under power, the twin 40hp Nanni diesels gave her an impressively tight turning circle. This made mooring simple, but the helming position means you ideally need a crew to handle the lines for you.

Sam’s verdict

Compared with previous generations of cruising catamaran, the Bali 4.0 is a step forward in performance terms, and will win sailors over on that alone.  In relation to her multihull rivals, what impressed me most were the clever design touches.  The garage door set-up aft is an absolute masterstroke.  The deep forward cockpit, clever dinghy davit and bags of stowage are among her other key strengths.  She is never going to win any beauty contests, but then few multihulls would.

The Gunboat G4 always looked good, but there are some well publicised downsides to that particular yacht, for a cruising sailor.

Catamarans have become so popular in the last ten years that the demand far outweighs the supply. This is both good and bad. Catamarans retain their value far better and for far longer than monohulls because we just don’t have enough of them. The bad thing is that new catamarans are becoming more and more expensive. We therefore are constantly trying to find ways to reduce the cost of ownership for our clients. Learn about our charter yacht management programs and business yacht ownership programs . The Bali 4.0 is available in these programs.

For more than 30 years, we have been a part of the catamaran community and created Catamaran Guru™ to encourage and educate all the aspiring sailing out there. We understand the dream of traveling the world by catamaran and created a one-stop-shop to make that dream a reality for you.

Bali 4.0 Lounge

• By Tim Murphy
• Updated: July 24, 2017

When the first big squall came through, we partially closed the saloon’s forward window but left everything else open. We kept the entire aft bulkhead raised, garage-door style, and locked in its up position. Even in heavy rain, a steady breeze through the open saloon — ­galley, nav station, dinette, two long settees and a swim platform — kept us all comfortable in the tropical heat. Though our chartered Bali 4.0 Lounge was fitted with air conditioning, in eight days of Caribbean sailing we never once felt the need to use it.

Since 1984, Catana catamarans have been built in the French Catalonia region, near the Mediterranean Sea and the border with Spain. For its first 30 years, the Catana brand staked out the performance end of the cruising-cat market: fast boats with fine hull sections and high-tech cored laminates, fitted with daggerboards for optimal windward performance. Many recent Catanas feature carbon rigs. Initially quite Spartan, Catana models evolved over the decades in the direction of carrying ever more luxury appointments; still, they clearly remained sophisticated sailors’ boats. The very details that made Catanas sail so well made them less ideal for bareboat charterers.

Olivier Poncin, Catana’s managing director, created the Bali range for the charter market and to the following specifications: “oversize and entirely open living spaces with a forward cockpit and sunbathing area, uniquely self-sufficient in power, and at competitive prices.” In the case of the new 40-footer, that comes to $450,000 sailaway (October 2016), delivered to the United States.

The Bali’s design clearly has drawn from trends started by other builders — flybridge helm for shorthanders, forward cockpit, open floor plan — then pushed this openness beyond the marks set by all previous competitors. Nearly unique among today’s cats, the Bali’s saloon occupies the entire bridgedeck, with no fixed bulkhead separating an interior saloon from an exterior cockpit. Instead, the entire aft bulkhead raises up and out of the way, or closes and locks into the down position with barrel bolts for open-water sailing, leaving a typical sliding door through which to enter and exit. A single line to a stopper near the flybridge helm raises and lowers a combination swim platform and dinghy davits.

A unique feature of the Bali occurs forward of the cabin. The composite bridgedeck structure extends all the way forward to the bows, with no nets between the hulls. The entire forward end of the boat between the hulls is dedicated to a dinette with wraparound settees and a sun pad built for two. This represents a design trade-off: exemplary socializing space on deck in exchange for the performance that’s lost when a builder adds weight in the ends of the boat. This is consistent with other design choices, such as fixed low-aspect keels and a modest sail plan with a small mainsail that together render the boat more simple to sail than likely to win races.

On the boat we sailed, this forward cockpit introduced a couple of challenges around the anchor, which exits the hull several feet aft from the bow. The first challenge was to connect an anchor bridle; doing so required a second person to get off the boat and into a dinghy, as there was no other way to reach the anchor roller and chain from the deck. The second challenge came when we sailed into the wind and waves. Seawater entering through the anchor roller soaked the boat’s propane tank, genset and genset starter battery in a forward compartment, all of which showed signs of corrosion.

Like many of the newer flybridge designs, the Bali is set up for shorthanded sailing. We found that raising and lowering sails worked best with two people: one stands on the side deck to control halyards and tails coming from the single power winch while the other one drives. Sun pads and seats on the flybridge provided ample room for our full crew of five, with room still available for more. Stepping down off the flybridge and into the aft cabin entrance while underway, we wished for better handholds on both port and starboard side decks.

The accommodations down in the hulls are spacious. Our three-cabin layout featured two double cabins, each with its own private en suite head and shower to starboard, and to port a full owners suite, with an office area, massive head and separate shower stall.

True to its design brief, it’s as a charter platform, with its exemplary open spaces, that the Bali truly shines.

The most recent Barcelona Boat Show saw the first outing of the 4.0, the latest development in the young Bali range, which will likely later be completed by a flagship model of over 50 feet. When the first one was launched back in February at the factory at Marans, we went aboard for a two-day test run in the Pertuis Rochelais on France’s Atlantic coast.

The balance and trim are remarkable, and the hulls slip through the water. The profile from ¾ ahead is attractive

With the rig set further aft, the self-tacking solent is a useful size: the sail turns out to be easy to trim and is powerful. The balance under sail is excellent

One which aims to free the whole platform of bulkheads, completely revisiting the way we move around on board and the design of the nacelle! Leopard and Lagoon have both employed the use of a forward cockpit for some time now, with the Cape Town yard then opening a breach in the forward bulkhead, by cutting a door in it. Greg Young and Tag invented the modular deck salon. The Bali 4.3 and 4.0 have today standardized the opening of the front bulkhead, installing a sun-deck in place of the trampoline and creating a retracting aft window panel. A real step forward!

A simple and modern sailplan. Unfortunately the tubular bimini means the gooseneck is fixed higher up

The smallest boat in the Bali range: good things come in small packages

Making a set of specifications such as these for a 40 foot catamaran was a daring move! Arch...
