Bali Catsmart

A new 38-footer with twin helm stations

Bali Catamarans completes its range... but this time from below, with the announcement of a new 38-foot model. A little sistership for the Bali Catspace, though this catamaran features some new innovations, such as twin helm stations, an optimized sail area with the mainsail almost flush with the coachroof – since there’s no flybridge.

On the other hand, you still get the rigid foredeck and the tilting Bali door. As for the interior, it’s no longer just all-charter: the builder does offer the traditional four- and three-cabin versions, but notably, there’s an amazing version with just two owner's cabins. The Bali Catsmart demonstrates (finally!) the interest of compact multihulls, that are less expensive and easier to maintain than much larger models. The Catsmart joins the ranks of the C-Cat 37, the Excess 11 and the Aventura, and let's hope that other large shipyards will follow suit
