What this video covers

The Bali 4.6 catamaran functions as a 46-foot floating apartment, prioritizing interior volume and comfort over traditional performance sailing.0:10 The vessel features an 85-square-meter living area, including a unique salon that integrates with the aft cockpit via a large, retractable door.4:46 Unlike standard catamarans with forward trampolines, this model utilizes a solid foredeck with a seating area and direct access to the salon.1:31 The flybridge helm position offers high visibility but raises the center of gravity and places the boom approximately seven meters above the water, complicating sail handling.2:42 During a three-day test in the Oslofjord in October, the boat maintained 5.5 knots on a beat and reached 8.5 knots in 15-knot gusts.23:26 The dual 60-horsepower Yanmar engines provide excellent maneuverability in tight harbors without the need for a bow thruster.7:03 High electrical consumption from appliances like the large refrigerator and air conditioning requires careful power management, as the onboard battery bank and generator system are essential for extended stays.19:47
