Catamaran Guru has been working with — and representing in the U.S. — the Bali Catamaran brand for many years. So it was fitting that we buy the first Bali 5.8 and introduce this boat with a joint christening party at the Annapolis Boat Show. We believe Christening a boat is an important part of the process of purchasing a sea dwelling vessel, which is why we do it with all of our boats and our clients boats. The Bali 5.8 has all the features you love and more space than ever! We are excited and very proud to showcase this yacht with all of you and can’t wait to set sail on a new adventure! For thousands of years, we have gone to sea. We have crafted vessels to carry us and we have called them by name. These ships will nurture and care for us through perilous seas, and so we affectionately call them “she.” TO THE SAILORS OF OLD, TO SNAPDRAGON! Oh, mighty and great rulers of the seas, to whom all ships and we who venture upon your vast domain are required to pay homage, implore you in your graciousness to take unto your records and recollection this worthy vessel hereafter and for all time known as SNAPDRAGON, guarding her with your mighty arm and trident and ensuring her of safe and rapid passage throughout her journeys within your realm.

LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT - VOTE Yes if you think the Transom doors are safe and NO if you think they are NOT!!! WATCH - https://youtu.be/_wK55agpLYk Are transom doors on Portofino catamarans a brilliant innovation… or a serious offshore risk? 🌊⚠️ In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most debated design features of the Portofino 52 catamaran — the aft transom doors that give incredible sea access, but also sit directly in the firing line of following seas and breaking waves. We ask the hard questions every offshore sailor should ask: • Can transom doors leak in heavy seas? • Could they fail catastrophically in extreme conditions? • Are storm boards really necessary — or outdated? • How strong is 15mm acrylic (Perspex) when it’s wave-slammed? • What happens to acrylic after years of sun exposure? To get real answers, we go straight to the source — Rafael, the designer — and break down the engineering, materials, certifications, drainage systems, gaskets, aluminum frames, and wave-impact design behind these doors. This isn’t theory. This is real-world boatbuilding, explained in detail. You’ll also learn: ✔️ Why these doors are RINA-certified watertight ✔️ How pressure from waves actually seals the door tighter ✔️ Why the dive room acts as a coffer dam for safety and buoyancy ✔️ The hidden long-term danger of UV-damaged Perspex ✔️ Why older boats fail — and modern ones don’t We finish by putting the decision back to you. 👉 Would you trust these transom doors offshore? 👉 Storm boards: Yes or No? Drop your vote in the comments and join the debate.
