Living on a sailboat, we come across the authorities far more often than you might expect! In the Mediterranean we experienced the Algerian and Croatian navy (Algerian was super stressful!!), and the Italian financial police, but Trinidad is the first time we've been stopped by the coast guard. It was late at night, around midnight, when we saw their blue flashing lights come at us as we motored through the First Bocas, returning to Trinidad after months sailing up and down the Caribbean island chain. We didn't expect to see Trinidad's coast guard, but it's nice to know they're out there. 👉 SUPPORT THE STORY TELLING ⛵ Gain access to our member only area: https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/join-in 😎 Tip jar: https://buy.stripe.com/6oE8A1d9Yabj4OA9AB After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°171: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/bali-48-for-a-50-footer-she-has-everything-you-d-find-on-a-bigger-boat ► The Bali 4.8 is already a large model in the range - there are only the 5.4 and 5.8 who are bigger - and as it maximizes surface areas and volumes, you could be forgiven for thinking you were aboard a catamaran much larger than 50 feet... Of course, it offers all the Bali features - solid foredeck, interior completely free of bulkheads, tilt-and-turn door and huge 220 V refrigerators and a forward door as a bonus. The manufacturer offers five versions of layout. There is of course the attractive 3-cabin version with a huge owner's hull including separate toilet, interior companionway, but also direct access to the starboard transom; and 4 and 5-cabin versions. But where the 4.8 scores highest is by offering for the first time on a multihull under 50 feet… 6 double cabins and 6 private bathrooms. ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Bali Catamarans Length: 46’10” (14.28 m) Beam: 25’10” (7.88 m) Draft: 4’6” (1.36m) Light displacement: 32,630 lbs (14.8 t) Mainsail: 925 sq ft (86 m²) Self-tacking solent: 505 sq ft (47m²) Diesel: 264 US gal (1,000 l) Water: 295 US gal (1,120 l) Engines: 2 X 45/80 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
