BALANCE 502 | Walkthrough | Multihulls World

► We had the opportunity to discover the brand-new Balance 502 in a world premiere at the Miami International Boat Show (MIBS). This new model from Balance Catamarans is taking over from the 482. ► Built in the Cape Town factory, the 502 incorporates Integrel Versadrive technology, marking its second application for Balance. True to the shipyard's DNA, it retains the brand's iconic features: daggerboards, sliding wheel steering, sleek and elegant hulls… while also introducing a host of new innovations. Among them are stern skirts equipped with folding "doors," designed to enhance safety at sea and at anchor, especially with children on board. ► A full review will be available in an upcoming issue! ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Balance Catamarans Length: 50’ (15.25 m) Beam: 25’11” (7.9 m) Draft: 3’10”/7’5” (1.16/2.27 m) Displacement: 28,220 lbs (12.8 t) Mainsail: 1,029 sq ft (95.63 m²) Self-tacking jib: 423 sq ft (39.31 m²) Drivetrain: 2 x 45 HP and 2 x 15 kW (option) Fuel: 211 US gal (800 l) Price: $1,799,500 ex-tax ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
