46 Feet Performance Catamaran, But It Doesn’t Feel Like It | Balance 464

Meet Hello World, hull #1 of the all-new Balance 464 — our smallest model and the 104th Balance launched. Dean Paarman takes you through her from the cockpit to the bow lockers while she's still in commissioning in Cape Town, before her first sea trials. The 464 shares all-new tooling, with more carbon in high-load areas, a new natural ventilation system, Italian frameless interior design, and the payload to carry Integrel e-Drive hybrid propulsion and a big battery bank. It's a 46-foot performance catamaran that doesn't feel like one inside. This is the comfort side of the story. Sailing videos are on the way, so subscribe to follow her first time out on the water.
