Boat Description
This is your opportunity to purchase a gorgeous example of the award-winning Balance 442 catamaran!
“Kiwa” is fully equipped and ready to go sailing today. She was originally launched in Cape Town, South Africa in 2023 and is hull #8 of this coveted high-performance brand. Kiwa has recently completed a full warranty service and received her annual haulout maintenance.
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 set up to still 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.
Balance Catamarans are well known for their stunning designs, exceptional build quality, and gorgeous fit and finish. They feature industry leading technology such as their signature VersaHelm steering system, Integrel charging technology, carbon fiber reinforced daggerboards, Ullman ASDL tri-radial laminate sails, state-of-the-art electronics suites, etc. The build process for these fantastic vessels incorporates Balances Carbon Cross design and construction techniques which utilizes E-glass fiberglass with significant Carbon Fiber reinforcement in the high load areas of the hulls and decks. 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.
Kiwa has a 3-cabin Owners Version layout that includes the versatile convertible office / cabin aft. She is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a traditional white exterior hull color, and an extensive list of factory options. She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager.
Kiwa is the ideal balance of both comfort at anchor and performance underway. With her 3-Cabin Owner Version configuration, the Balance 442 easily accommodates six people in 3 Queen-sized berths. Kiwa features the desirable convertible aft cabin/office, a large U-shaped galley, and real American Oak hand-crafted cabinetry.
Kiwa is a pleasure to move about on whether sailing alone or entertaining friends and family. Her ample payload capacity means there is a place to store everything on the 442. Seating and lounge areas are strategically located throughout the cockpit and accommodation areas to ensure a fantastic hosting platform. With the innovative Balance VersaHelm – the helm station swings up and down with ease which revolutionized all weather sailing. You can pilot her up top in the sunshine and breeze or swing the helm down for full foul weather protection in the comfort of the cockpit – both positions offer 360 degree visibility and comfortable seating.
Kiwa is U.S. Duty Paid and in turn key condition! You could sail away immediately after closing and head for the South Pacific without a second thought. Kiwa is currently located in beautiful St Augustine, FL and available for showings by appointment.
