Balance 502 - Walkthrough Video

Welcome aboard Tiger Lily — the very first Balance 502. In this in-depth walkthrough, Dean Paarman, Director of Operations for Balance Catamarans South Africa, takes you on a detailed tour of the all-new Balance 502, showcasing the design evolution, performance upgrades, and interior refinements that define the next generation of Balance sailing catamarans. The Balance 502 is a new-generation 50-foot performance cruising catamaran, developed as the successor to the Balance 482. With a longer waterline, increased buoyancy, and a redesigned structure, the 502 was engineered to support modern hybrid propulsion options while delivering improved payload capacity, safety, and sailing performance — without compromising the light-weight DNA Balance is known for. From the redesigned Versa Stern and carbon-core superstructure, to the J-Max sail plan, expanded helm ergonomics, and a refined interior layout, this walkthrough highlights how owner feedback and real-world cruising experience shaped every detail of the boat. Tiger Lily has completed her testing and final fit-out and is now preparing to ship to the Caribbean, where she will be available for Try Before You Buy sailing experiences through the Outer Passage program, before appearing at the Miami Boat Show. 👉 Learn more about the Balance 502: https://balancecatamarans.com/502-2/ Apogee Sea Systems - https://balancecatamarans.com/what-owners-need-to-know-about-starlink/ Carbon Core - https://youtu.be/xuGcnsQxXVQ Try Before You buy Program https://balancecatamarans.com/try-before-you-buy/ Video Chapters 00:00 Welcome Aboard Tiger Lily 01:06 Redesigning the Balance 502 02:05 Performance Enhancements 03:27 Deck and Safety Features 06:35 Interior Innovations 12:59 Guest Cabins and Amenities 16:32 Owner’s Suite and Storage 20:52 Final Thoughts and Farewell Stay in Balance.
