2017 Bali 4.0 - The Ultimate Cruising Catamaran
Designed by Xavier Fay and built with Bali's trademark open-living concept, the Bali 4.0 blends spacious comfort, modern cruising capability, and smart sailing design into a compact 40-footer that feels far larger at sea.
Core Performance & Dimensions
LOA: ~11.93 m / 39.1 ft
Beam: ~6.72 m / 22.1 ft
Draft: ~1.12 m / 3.5-3.7 ft
Displacement: ~8.6 t light, up to ~11.2 t loaded
CE Category: A - up to ~10 persons
Fuel: ~400 L • Water: ~800 L
The overall design emphasizes stability and liveability - ideal for coastal cruising or long island-hopping passages.
⛵ Sail & Rig
Total sail area: ~96-105 m² (1035-1130 ft²) depending on configuration
Mast: Tall rig designed for performance and balance
Spinnakers: Two new asymmetrical spinnakers included (significant sail wardrobe upgrade)
With the addition of dual spinnakers, your Bali isn't just a cruiser - it's a capable performer on offshore reaches and downwind passages.
Drive & Power
Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D2 diesels (typically ~40 hp each) for reliable maneuvering and fuel efficiency
Generator: Onan genset installed - ideal for true live-aboard comfort with extensive electrical loads
Watermaker: Installed - gives near-continuous freshwater generation for extended cruising
These systems make the Bali 4.0 genuinely self-sufficient offshore, perfect for live-aboard cruising or extended adventures.
Electronics & Navigation
Upgraded Raymarine electronics suite (chartplotter, multi-function displays)
Raymarine instruments & autopilot - robust sailing instrumentation and course management
Fusion stereo system - premium entertainment throughout salon/cockpit
This setup supports confident navigation and entertainment on long passages or while at anchor.
Comfort & Livability
The Bali 4.0 shines with an innovative open living space - an entire cockpit that merges with the saloon via a large electric "garage-door" bulkhead that lifts to create a single great room at sea level.
Highlights include:
Air conditioning throughout - essential in tropical or warm climates
Spacious galley and salon with panoramic views
Forward deck lounge and aft cockpit for sunbathing & socializing
Achilles 9 ft tender with a 9.9 hp Mercury outboard - perfect for shore runs or exploring secluded anchorages
Windlass anchor for easy ground tackle handling
Together, these create a live-aboard quality of life that's rare in the 40-foot range - more like a floating villa than a sailboat.
Accommodation
Layouts vary (3-4 cabins with 3-4 heads are common), making the Bali 4.0 flexible for:
family cruising
couple-centric owner voyages
charter use
Whether hosting friends for weekend sailing or settling in for a season, the interior feels far larger than the footprint suggests.
