Balance 526 Catamaran. Guided tour by designer. Perfect Balance of performance and cruising comfort

In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we continue our series where we are checking out the Catamarans at the Annapolis Sailboat Show to see what we think would suit us as a full-time live-aboard catamaran as we circumnavigate the globe.

This episode we cover the Balance 526 which seems to have the best of both worlds. It is a performance catamaran, made out of Carbon fibre, but is spacious and well appointed inside. How is it possible that they could have both in one boat? Well, by charging a pretty steep price. It's about $1.7 million. But if you were in the market for an Outremer 5x you'd be paying about the same money and this catamaran is way more comfortable and clearly designed with liveaboards in mind. Watch and see what you think.
