For a 42’ Cat that a party of family or close friends will spend no more than 10 days in protected waters, it looks good. You have to agree and appreciate Bobby’s critique. It’s a nice condo to to base excursions from after 3 hour motors from anchorage to anchorage. Thx Sailing Doodles.
Great tour Bobby-thanks for your honesty on what you DO like as well as what you do NOT like about these boats you travel in. I still rewatch your trip to Thailand sometimes-I hope you will repeat that route someday because your adventures were AMAZING!
Very good coverage. I don’t have a problem with the individual head and shared shower, cosy, but I think that would work well with a group of 8. What I am concerned about is the lack of escape hatches from the cabins. I would have thought that is a mandatory feature of any vessel. Certainly has been the case for any mono I have owned or crewed on. Maybe the forward and aft egress from the salon/galley negates this requirement.
Good tour! thanks for skipping every nook and cranny! Moved well. Might be me, but I got a bunch of splashback on the audio that you normally don't have. Good vid!
Yea, so it's not a high-end sailing cat.... but for a group or family that isn't concerned with workmanship and fancy features it's a nice lower-cost way to get out on the water! I like that there are lower-cost options for people. Thanks for featuring and showing that cat.
The coolest feature of that catamaran is the garage door that opens up the bridge. Seawind has done pretty much the same with their tri-fold door system. The Seawind seem to be much better boats for sailing. The Bali look more like motorboats. Maybe they would be better without the mast.
Good one Bobby! Good Cap't you think it through!!!! Bali listen to Bobby......Bigger generator with all those AC's.......Toilet bath setup......Radio and wind gauge at the Upper HELM/cockpit. He is right!!!!!
Great tour Bobby, and I really like how honest you were with it. That cat has a lot of pro's and con's for me. Would I rent one for a few weeks ?/ Yes Would I own one to live on for more than a few months ?/ No But some of the design features are pretty cool !! But they lack in cabin space, showers and a few other things
In Costa Rica did. an Island Tour to a location with Swimming, Sunning and Great Meal. A Large CAT With Lots of Space Downstairs and Up. Very Interesting and Fun. Cat designs offer Multiple Options of Purpose Out on the Oceans.🌊
Seems like there's more downsides than there are upsides to this cat, no trampoline, undersized generator, reduced main sail, tiny cabins, no cabin hatches, poorly thought out door swings and a shared shower. Looks like Bali missed the mark on this one! 😢
You have to keep in mind it’s only 42’. It’s like the older Leopard and lagoon 38’ models. And this is a charter boat not something spec built for a single experienced owner. So if you bought one, you can add whatever you want.
I don't understand their charter program. Can't I as an individual buy the whole thing at once and do whatever I want with the boat? What kind of experiment is this?
I'm sorry. But comparing this to the Dark Side is like a Yugo to a Cadillac. ;) I'm old and I like my comfort. Bobby is younger. ;) I don't like to sweat, unless I really need to. I know while underway, there is a lot of breeze, so would be much more pleasant. But still enjoy watching Bobby's videos.
Odd, the average house in Norway uses a bit over 2100 kWh on average pr day, this is calculated from the yearly average from a typical house usage. That small cat needs how much to run it's system? This is constant use, with lows and highs averaged out, so there are peeks that will be twice the average, the use also drops during summer and goes way up during winter, and the number above is the average. So I'm wondering how much it would take for a cat to handle that sort of load. If the system we run on a catamaran can do the same things, more or less, but with way less power, shouldn't we upgrade our homes in stead? My mind throws these weird questions at me, sorry!
The floor squirrel would bug me L0L Great boat.. I live in northern MI & wanted to say that watching your channel had made me want to find a older sail boat to fix up and go on local cruises on lake Huron.. I figured it would be allot more fun then camping! Thx Bobby Great Cat
Good video 😀 I think you should have ordered a bigger cat there are a lot of negative generator to small sails are not really functional head's small cabins small and you can't sail in the ocean why did you get a 60 foot with a the best accommodation big generator to run all AC's and all electronics but it's a nice cat 🤔😃
Will you use the radio to call Mrs. Brody and then Steph will take a bat to it and you can call her Certifiable!!!!!!!!!??????? Sorry whenever I see a CB wire (7:55)on a boat it makes me think of that.
I hope you managed to have a good time. I'm not a fan of this boat. BTW, Delos had an unfortunate event with TH-cam policing. Maybe check out Brian's rant to help recoup their loss. Fair winds ⛵
As soaked as your shirt is, you should have run the A/C! Be certain to take Magnesium Citrate twice daily to replace all you are loosing in your sweating. Otherwise cramps, muscle jitters, charlie horses, etc happens.
Agree. Bobby's I hope you understand the proverb "one man's meat is another man's poison". Don't understand why you would even come up with this video. Let Navigar's customers decide their choice. I'm sure they can browse Navigar's website. We want to see STEPH & the flotilla activities. This video is damn boring.
Have you guys never heard of sharing a review on something you own or a service you have used and have you never heard of sponsor deals? He likely got a discount or other incentive to show off the charter (can't remember if his new boat is from them) so it is a business obligation and he gave a detailed and constructive review that is good for people who want to buy a boat or those who would charter for a short time. The viewer can decide if the boat is a good option for them and some viewers only watch to live vicariously through him and may find it interesting to see how the experience is on that boat.
@@CGT80 yeah but there’s also something to be said about integrity. You could almost see him kicking himself over this walkthrough. This is a bad boat and Bobby knew it. I’m pretty certain this will be the last review he does of a bad boat. I really do think he wised up after this one.
@@BreinGames Yes, I would agree he may have been between a rock and a hard spot and did what he had to. The thumbs down on one video wouldn't help, but I'm not sure if it was all that bad for him, in the big picture, unless he hated the experience on that boat. It was a short trip and he will likely not sail that model again and he probably took care of his obligation of advertising it. I'm sure his sponsors don't want him to end up giving poor reviews either, so hopefully he doesn't end up in this situation again.
Bobby when will be around Porta Rico ? I'm heading there for a minute vacation, would you go sailing with you guys. Be me and my gf, maybe future wife.
The Bali range was not produced to make catana's boats more affordable or accessible, they were made to compete in the charter market against FP and Lagoon to make more money...plain and simple. Back in 2014, I was in the market for a Catana catamaran...and still own a 471 today. I saw the 1st Bali at the Paris boat show in 2014....what a disappointment. It is not at all a reflection of what Catana strives for with its quality and performance with its original range, and in my opinion should not be considered linked whatsoever except financially...
So… good cheap cat for maximum profit in a chartering fleet. But if you want to own one of these as a live-aboard, probably going to frustrate you. Underpowered, under sailed, lots of opportunity to ‘Break Out Another Thousand’.
That seems like an AWEFUL design and they need to stick with their high end builds. Nets also keep you safe from waves filling the front stuffing or flipping! 🙄 and that spare bathroom makes NO SENSE.
BOBBY, your Tour and Explanations are detailed
and Easy to understand
With Practical operations
in mind. Thank You.

Bobby you have come so far in the boat world. Great video. 🏴☠️
Thanks Bobby for the tour of the boat
Great informative tour Bobby.
Awesome!! Love it!! If I bought one I’d like the 50’ though.
Thanks for doing this video. Was always curious about the Bali
Better grab you a cold one Bobby… thx for the tour bro! 🤘
Congratulations Bobby! Well deserved!
Will be nice to see your Cat when it’s done. Looking forward to that.

Excellent information. Keep living the dream Captain.
Can't wait to see your Catamaran
Thanks for tour, both pro and cons
😁

Agree they should be up there(WIND gauge & radio).
I was asked if catamarans sink often. I said, no, usually just once...
😅
Me too
The coolest feature of that catamaran is the garage door that opens up the bridge. Seawind has done pretty much the same with their tri-fold door system. The Seawind seem to be much better boats for sailing. The Bali look more like motorboats. Maybe they would be better without the mast.
Good one Bobby! Good Cap't you think it through!!!! Bali listen to Bobby......Bigger generator with all those AC's.......Toilet bath setup......Radio and wind gauge at the Upper HELM/cockpit. He is right!!!!!
I saw a documentary on how catamarans are kept together. It was riveting.
Cymbal crash!! ;)
Verry nice my friend👍👍👍🙏
Very nice video 👍👍
Great video
Wow so beautiful 😘😘😍😍😘😘
I have no problem representing Bali Cats in Canada! 🙌 Bali Catana hit me up!
Next time let also Steph make a tour with her perspectives on YES's and NO's .... probably different.
Great tour Bobby, and I really like how honest you were with it. That cat has a lot of pro's and con's for me.
Would I rent one for a few weeks ?/ Yes
Would I own one to live on for more than a few months ?/ No
But some of the design features are pretty cool !! But they lack in cabin space, showers and a few other things
I thought Bobby was going to melt🤣
it looks very claustrophobic !!
Is the creaking floor an option? 🤭👍✌️🇬🇧
In Costa Rica did. an Island
Tour to a location with
Swimming, Sunning and
Great Meal. A Large CAT
With Lots of Space Downstairs and Up. Very
Interesting and Fun.
Cat designs offer Multiple
Options of Purpose
Out on the Oceans.🌊
Nice boat, although the bedrooms and heads look kind of "compact"...thanks Bobby and Steph!!!!
Someone’s been having a good time on that mattress - presumably in a heavy sea it slipped out at the crucial moment?
You should add expo to your yaw so you can get smoother shots
I'm not going to ask about the stain on the bed
Thats way to small and why have the Radio and wind gauge in the cab im glad you was honest about it 42 is tiny but keep up the good work Bobby..
Seems like there's more downsides than there are upsides to this cat, no trampoline, undersized generator, reduced main sail, tiny cabins, no cabin hatches, poorly thought out door swings and a shared shower. Looks like Bali missed the mark on this one! 😢
I have sailed on the Bali und the handling and quality is pretty sub par!!
Totally agree D
God I hope he got a GOOOOOOD deal.
@Robert Boles noone said"hey I need an ocean sailer"...this is not a great cat...it ain't what it ain't.

I don't understand their charter program. Can't I as an individual buy the whole thing at once and do whatever I want with the boat? What kind of experiment is this?
Do most cats of this size come with an onboard generator? I suspect not, thats awesome, even if it won't run all the a/c units at once
I'm sorry. But comparing this to the Dark Side is like a Yugo to a Cadillac. ;) I'm old and I like my comfort. Bobby is younger. ;) I don't like to sweat, unless I really need to. I know while underway, there is a lot of breeze, so would be much more pleasant. But still enjoy watching Bobby's videos.
I'd like to join this wonderful crew some time. Jordi (BCN)
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
I was gonna buy this boat but I didn't pick the correct Powerball numbers!
Certainly can tell you’re not overly impressed? How does this differ from your new one?
Is a 45 much larger in accomodations?
That boat seems to be built for anchor more than cruising.
Yeah if I would want a 45 or bigger cat

When you're talking, I can hear you gasping for air. **Are you okay**
The floor squirrel would bug me

Great Cat

Boa tarde like confirmado 💪💪🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
The generator, cabin ventilation and the cabin size issues are a no-no.....

"More affordable.... $420-$780k" 😂🤣😂
What's a cat without a trampoline? That's a major delete! 😟
It trades it for usable space.
Get wet different
A cat without a trampoline is a submarine the first time you surf down a big wave and dip the nose under the next wave.
I'll take 3.
I miss the Dark Side already.
And Bucky too.
I wonder why catamarans is very unusual here in Europe.
a brass pole O my
👍☑👏
damn!!!! not one babe anywhere.
You should build your own Cat in the desert like that video on youtube and it gets stolen by the Mexican cartel. Cool story.
Squeaky floors too. Yikes.😳
Dang Bobby. So many dislikes you had. Why you doing a walkthrough for something that is clearly not up to your standards?

the squeeky creeky ikea quality interior is sus. maybe the hull is better quality but this looks like a hard pass to me.
Bobby you are an excellent sponceree.
The way you explain Navigar's partnership setup in every segment should drive quite a bit of buisness their way.
Sounds like Walmart is making boats now.
Bobby when will be around Porta Rico ? I'm heading there for a minute vacation, would you go sailing with you guys. Be me and my gf, maybe future wife.

I wasn't keen on that boat at all
Doesn't even sound like a good boat for short island hopping trips.
Wow I hope they’re not a sponsor. You had something negative to say about almost every part of the boat.
Do you want Bobby to lie? That would be disingenuous right? I appreciate the honest feedback, positive or negative.
@@TH-cam_can_ESAD Yes I want him to lie. Isn’t that exactly what I wrote ?
@@556m4 Bali is not a sponsor. Navigard is.
So… good cheap cat for maximum profit in a chartering fleet. But if you want to own one of these as a live-aboard, probably going to frustrate you. Underpowered, under sailed, lots of opportunity to ‘Break Out Another Thousand’.
Prefer a full tour of coley jens!
🤮
Jesus Bobby you're supposed to be helping the people out not talking about all the bad things give him a little bit of a break there
That seems like an AWEFUL design and they need to stick with their high end builds. Nets also keep you safe from waves filling the front stuffing or flipping! 🙄 and that spare bathroom makes NO SENSE.
Too small.
I don't like it. But I understand its poipose.
On of the most horrible cats ive seen no room any were very very poor sleeping places
Thumbs down , 3 out of 10
Lots of downfalls
Its just not the same without steph and the girls lol
this video is too boring. I switched off immediately
