What distinguishes the model
- The open saloon concept combines saloon, cockpit and foredeck into generous living areas with plenty of stowage and neatly installed systems.
- With a beam wind the Bali 4.5 sails briskly, gets underway quickly even in little wind and shows its good side on passages with following wind.
- The solid sandwich construction with a monolithic hull bottom and stiffening foredeck points to a serious Catana build without structural series findings.
