What the model is suitable for
conditionally suitable for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
The first Bali model, designed for charter, with a very large living space. At sea, slamming in head seas and water ingress over the solid foredeck are documented, and the ageing profile is very poor. The 2018 test praises the build quality, sailing performance and payload, but mentions a possible structural weakness at the large openings and a blind spot at the helm station.
