The original design premise for the Balance 442 was to create a catamaran that had wonderful sailing characteristics with luxurious and comfortable accommodations but was also set up to be easily operated by a retired couple.Therefore, these performance cruising vessels are equipped with powerful sail plans and daggerboards which allow them to sail circles around the competition while still being easily managed for shorthanded operation.As the name suggests, it is the perfect balance of sporty sailing characteristics and liveaboard comfort.

Every Balance 442 is hand laminated and vacuum bagged with vinylester outer skin resin over closed cell foam cores.The end result is a lightweight, stiff, and robust vessel built for world voyaging.
