A privately owned, three-cabin Bali 4.1 with serious solar, a Parasailor, and Atlantic miles under her keel.
Alexis de Boucaud of The Multihull Company steps aboard S/V Lady Ana, a 2020 Bali 4.1 in the sought-after three-cabin owner’s version, for a thorough walk-through that highlights just how well-equipped this catamaran is for extended cruising. Never chartered and carefully maintained, she has already proved her mettle: her current owners collected her in Croatia, sailed her across the Atlantic to Brazil, and cruised the Caribbean.
Deck, Rig and Systems
The aft cockpit sets the tone with a generous settee and a dinghy on davits fitted with a console and a large Honda outboard. Twin Yanmar 40-horsepower engines handle propulsion, and all lines lead back to the flybridge helm, where Raymarine electronics — plotter, wind and speed repeaters — keep watch-standing simple. An electric starboard winch manages halyards and the dinghy lift.
Energy independence is a clear priority. Lady Ana carries 1,800 watts of solar split between a substantial aft arch (three large panels) and four 110-watt panels on the coachroof bimini, backed by a wind generator, a 15 kVA Fischer Panda genset, and a 110 L/h watermaker. Starlink is installed on the coachroof for connectivity underway.
The sail wardrobe is unusually complete for a boat this size: an in-boom furling mainsail, a self-tacking jib, a gennaker on a continuous furler off the small bowsprit, and a Parasailor for downwind passages. Forward, a large lounging and dining area with two deployable tables looks straight through the signature Bali opening window to the galley — an ideal setup for at-anchor entertaining.
Interior Living
The salon is vast and airy. The trademark Bali ‘garage door’ aft opens the space to the cockpit, side windows slide open, and a forward-opening window above the galley draws a cross-breeze right through the boat. A large dining table seats up to eight, and a full-height Liebherr fridge/freezer sits opposite a well-appointed galley with a double sink, three-burner stove and oven.
To starboard, the navigation station houses Raymarine plotter and VHF, a multimeter, Victron charge control, and the Starlink modem. She is wired 220 volts with 12-volt house systems.
Accommodation
The port hull is dedicated to the owner: a desk with television, an island queen aft, generous storage, and a full forward head with walk-in shower, bench, electric toilet, and — a genuinely useful touch — a Mini washing machine tucked into a purpose-built cabinet. A privacy door closes off the entire suite.
To starboard, two guest cabins each have island queens (the forward one a V-berth with access hatches to the forepeaks) and en-suite heads with electric toilets.
