Blue Diamond – Balance 580 Factory Sea Trial | Saint Francis Bay

Meet Blue Diamond — a stunning new Balance 580 fresh out of the Saint Francis Bay yard on her very first factory sea trial. This early-stage trial is all about the fundamentals: engine performance, systems checks, leak inspections, and navigation — the essential groundwork before rigging is even touched. No sails yet, just pure motoring through the bay. And she does not disappoint. Highlights from the trial: Exceptional stability on the water Comfortably cruising at 11–12 knots under motor A first look at this beautiful new hull in her natural environment Rigging setup and sailing sea trials are coming soon — stay tuned. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the next chapter of Blue Diamond's journey. 📖 We publish new stories weekly — check out our blog for the latest from the yard and beyond: 👉 https://balancecatamarans.com/news-media/ #Balance580 #BlueDeamong #Catamaran #SeaTrial #SaintFrancisBay #BalanceCatamarans
