Boat Description
This is your opportunity to purchase a practically brand new example of the award-winning Balance 442 catamaran!
“Silver Chain” is fully equipped and ready to go sailing today. She was originally launched in Cape Town, South Africa in 2024 and is hull #14 of this coveted high-performance brand. Silver Chain has recently completed a full warranty service and received her annual haul out 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.
Silver Chain has the desirable 3-cabin Owners Version layout. She is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a stunning blue vinyl wrapped exterior hull, and an extensive list of factory options. She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager.
Silver Chain 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. Silver Chain is currently located in beautiful St Augustine, FL and available for showings by appointment.
