INTRODUCTION
Dear Sir/Madam,
Welcome aboard, and welcome to the happy family of BALI 4.2 sailboat owners.
This manual has been designed to help you get the most enjoyment out of your boat in safety. It contains
details of the boat, the equipment supplied or installed, and its systems, as well as information on their use.
Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before use.
This Owner’s Manual is not an instruction course in safe navigation or seamanship. If this is your first boat
or if you have changed to a type of boat with which you are not familiar, for your comfort and safety, make
sure you acquire sufficient experience of the boat’s handling and use before taking command.
Ensure that the wind and sea state which is forecast corresponds to the design category of your boat, and
that both yourself and your crew are capable of handlingthe boat in these conditions.
Even though your boat is designed for it, the sea states and wind conditions which correspond to design
Categories A, B and C vary from storm conditionsfor Category A to strong conditions for the top of Category
C, subject to the dangers of abnormal waves or gusts, and as a result, dangerous conditions, in which only a
fit, well-trained, experienced crew, sailing a well-maintained boat, can navigate safely.
This Owner’s Manual does not form a detailed guide to maintenance or repair. In case of difficulty, please
contact the manufacturers or their representative. If a service manual is supplied, please make use of it.
Always use the services of an experienced professional for maintenance, fitting accessories or making
modifications. Modifications which might affect the safety characteristics of the boat must be evaluated,
effected and documented by a competent person. The boat’s manufacturers cannot be held responsible for
any unapprovedmodifications.
In certain countries an operator’s licence or authorisation are required, or there may be specific regulations
in force.
Always properly maintain your boat, bearing in mind wear and tear which can result over time, or, as the
case may be, excessive or inappropriate use.
Any type of boat, no matter how solidly built, may be severely damaged if used incorrectly. Such use is not
compatible with safe navigation. Always adapt your course and boatspeed to the prevailingsea conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a liferaft, carefullyread its user manual. The crewshould have on board all the
necessary safety equipment (lifejackets, harnesses, etc.) corresponding to the type of boat, to the weather
conditions, etc. In certain countries such equipment is mandatory. The crewshould be trained in the use of
all the safety equipment and emergency manoeuvres (recovery of a man overboard, towing, etc.) Sailing
schools and yacht clubs regularly organise training sessions.
It is recommended that all persons wear appropriate flotation aids (lifejackets, buoyancy aids,etc.) whenever
they are on deck. Note that in some countries, it is obligatory to wear flotation aids which conform to the
laws of that country.

KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND IN THE EVENT OF YOUR SELLING THE BOAT, PLEASE PASS IT ON
TO THE NEW OWNERS.
WARNING
Our boats are regularly upgraded as result of customer experience and research carried out by the
shipyard. As a result, the specifications given in this Owner’s Manual are not contractual and are subject
to modification without notice and without obligation to update.
The aim of this manual is to cover a maximum of information. Therefore, it is possible that certain
paragraphs or equipment described is not applicable to your boat. If in doubt, refer to the inventory
supplied by your dealer when you ordered your boat.

1. DESIGN CATEGORY OF THE BOAT
Your BALI 4.2is covered by the OCEAN design category (Category A).
In normal usage conditions, your boat is designed to sail in seas with a significant wave height exceeding 4
metres and in wind strengths of Beaufort Force 8 or higher, and withstand the most severe conditions.
This capacity is equally dependent on the competence of the crew, their physical ability, the upkeep of the
boat and its equipment.
Take all necessary precautions before putting to sea.
CATANA SAS cannot guarantee perfect functioning of the vessel in exceptional sea conditions (violent
storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts, etc.)
DESIGN CATEGORIES
Category A:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which may exceed Beaufort Force 8 and in seas with
a significant wave height of 4m and above (see Note 1 below),and to a greater extent be self-sufficient.
Abnormal conditionssuch as hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions which can be encountered on long
passages, for example ocean crossings, or near coastlines where there is no protection from wind and
waves for several hundred nauticalmiles.
Category B:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which do not exceed Beaufort Force 8 and in
correspondingsea states: a significant wave height of less than or equal to 4m (see Note 1 below). Such
conditions as may be encountered when sufficiently far offshore, or near coastlines where there is no
protection from wind and waves for several dozen nautical miles. These conditionscan also be
encountered on inland seas of sufficient size to be capable of seeing such wave heights.
Category C:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which do not exceed Beaufort Force 6 and in
correspondingsea states: a significant wave height of less than or equal to 2m (see Note 1 below). Such
conditions as may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries and in coastal waters with
moderate weather conditions.
Category D:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which do not exceed Beaufort Force 4 and in
correspondingsea states (occasional waves with a maximum height of 0.5m). Such conditions as may be
encountered sheltered inland waters, and in coastal waters in fine weather conditions.
NOTE 1: Significant wave height means the mean height of the highest third of the waves, which
correspond approximately to the height of the wave as estimated by an experienced observer. Certain
waves may have a height of double this value.
CATANA SAS has chosen the InternationalMarine Certification Institute as the notified body to verify that
your boat conforms to European Directive CE 2013/53, within the framework of design categories B + C.

3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
(Plan n°7)
3.1. Safety advice and use of the electrical system
WARNING
Incorrect use of the direct current or alternating current systems can result in a risk of fire or
explosion.
Incorrect use of the alternating current system can result in the risk of electrocution.
Always:
-Check the battery state and the charging system before putting to sea.
-Disconnect and remove the batteries when winterizing the boat.
-Maintain the voltage of the batteries at over 12V during the winter.
-Check the functioning of the navigation instruments.
-Always keep spare fuses on board for the power circuits.
-Check the functioning of the navigation lights before sailing at night.
-Have the electrical system checked at least every two years.
-Disconnect the vessel’s electrical supply if the system is not in use.
-Connect any metallic covers of electrical equipment to the vessel’s earthing system (green
cable, or green with a yellow stripe).
-Use electrical equipment which is either double-insulated or has an earthing connection.
Never:
-Work on a live electrical installation.
-Modify an installation and the relevant wiring diagrams, unless this has been carried out
by a qualified marine electrician.
-Changeor modify the breaking capacity of the protective circuit breakers.
-Replace electrical apparatus or equipment with components which exceed the rated
capacity without resizing the cabling and circuit breakers.
-Leave the vessel unattended when the electrical system is live, with the exception of an
automatic bilge pump and fire or theft protection systems.
The electrical circuit is protected by circuit breakers fittedin electrical boxesinstalled beneaththe chart table
(figure 1).
If a fuse or a circuit breaker continues to trip, call a specialist to determine the cause of the short-circuit.
Other equipment (interior lighting, comfort equipment, etc.) is protected by fuses under the chart table.
To change a fuse, switch off the electrical circuit usingthe battery master switch, remove the defective fuse
usingthe appropriate tool, install a new fuse of the same type and the same amperage, and then switch the
electrical circuit on again at the battery master switch.

3.2. Installing new equipment
Since 1st January 1996, electrical equipment has been subject to the European Directive on “electromagnetic
compatibility” (Ref 2014/30/EU). If any new equipment is to be installed, it must therefore conform to these
standards and must be CE marked. The equipment must also be accompanied by a certificate of conformity
and a user manual.
Only use electrical equipment which is double insulated or has an earth connection in the case of a 220V
installation. When fitting such equipment, ensure you follow the installation instructions with respect to
cable sizingand fuse protection.
To avoid any maintenance problems, make appropriate changes to the wiring diagram to show the
modifications.

3.3 Batteries
All the batteries installed for engine starting or the domestic system are gel type batteries and as such do
not require any specific maintenance; the only precaution to observe is to maintain a sufficient level of
charge.
The battery bank is comprised of several130 Ah batteries which form the service battery bank. This is located
beneath the podium in the saloon. (Figure 2).
A removable panel in the floor provides access to these batteries.

Each engine has its own 130 Ah starter battery.
The capacity of the batteries has been calculated to respond to the power requirements of the on-board
accessories. To avoid any problems, the level of charge must be monitored and the batteries maintained.
If it is necessary to couple the batteries, access the selectors inside the lower starboard furniture unit and
follow the instructions below:
To couple the service batteries and engine starter batteries, position the selectors to "COUPLING‘’
CAUTION
-If you install any new electrical equipment, ensure that the overall electrical consumption of this
equipment is compatible with your battery capacity.
-Always disconnect the –(negative) terminal of a battery before disconnecting the + (positive)
terminal.
-Never allow the two terminals of a battery to be bridged by any conductive object (tools, etc.)

3.5 Charging Systems
Your boat is fitted with several charging systems. When alongside a dock with a shore-power electricity
supply, the service batteries are charged by a charger or a combined inverter/charger. At sea, the same
system is used if your boat is equipped with a generator. If your engines are fitted with optional power
alternators, theyare connectedto thedomestic system. If your boatis fitted with solar panels, these produce
energy which is stored by the service batteries.
CAUTION
-Regularly check the alternator belt tension and the condition of the belts.
-To maintain solar panel efficiency (if fitted), it is essential they are kept clean and are not in any
shade.
-You must not stand or walk on the solar panels
