What this video covers

A 2021 Bali 48 catamaran, chartered from Navigar Yachting in Marsh Harbour, Abacos, features an innovative design that prioritizes interior volume and creature comforts over traditional sailing performance.3:39 The vessel replaces the standard forward trampoline with a solid fiberglass deck, creating a large, integrated seating area accessible via a forward door from the main salon.7:47 A signature feature is the automatic, vertical-sliding garage door that connects the cockpit and salon into a single, open-plan living space.4:25 The boat utilizes a self-tacking jib and a hydraulic steering system, which prevents the wheel from spinning while the autopilot is engaged.10:12 The five-cabin layout includes two exterior-access VIP cabins, a bunk room, and a master suite with a dedicated head and shower.12:03 While the electrical system includes automatic switching between shore power and the generator, the helm station requires reaching through the wheel to access the Raymarine chart plotters.6:24
