Bali 4.0 SAIL Magazine Boat Of The Year Nominee

Best Cruising Catamaran 2017

The Bali 4.0 has been nominated as a SAIL Magazine Boat Of The Year: Best Cruising Catamaran,  for 2017. The contest is held each year in various categories for sail boats. Boats are judged during and after the Annapolis Boat Show; the winner is declared in December 2017. The author of a recent review by the magazine was impressed by the solid Bali construction, tidy and efficient deck layout, spacious and luxury accommodations, and high performance under power and sail. What more could you want from a 40-foot cruising catamaran?

“The Bali 4.0 fills a niche that sailors may not have known existed. It’s an apartment afloat, a party platform, and a coastal cruiser. And yes, it’s a good sailboat, too.”
