S/V ZITA is a 2024 Balance 526 for sale by broker.
2024 Balance 526 MK2 “ZITA” is a fully commissioned, ocean-proven, and exceptionally equipped example of one of the most respected blue-water cruising catamaran designs ever built.

This version is weight-reduced, features improved reinforcements on load-carrying structures, and includes changes in design.

Aboard S/V LASAI: A Walkthrough of the Balance 442

The Balance 442 is the newest and smallest model in the Balance range, and in this quick walkthrough Zee Kalinic makes the case that the shrink in length hasn’t cost the boat any of the family’s signature ideas. Chief among them is the Versa Helm — the pivoting helm station that drops the skipper down into a protected position when the weather turns nasty, then swings back up for sailing mode. “In the lower position visibility remains excellent, 360 all around,” Zee explains, while the raised setting gives clear sightlines to the sails with a sunbimini overhead and all instruments, controls and winches within reach.…

Aboard S/V inBalance: A Balance 482 Built Without Compromise

Some boats are simply well specified. Others are built by the person who knows the model best, for themselves. S/V inBalance, a 2022 Balance 482, falls into the second camp: as Conor Dugan of The Multihull Company explains at the start of his walkthrough, she was commissioned by the founder of Balance Catamarans as his personal boat and carries nearly every factory option. Today she’s with her second owners — and the video makes a good case that the original brief has aged very well.…

Aboard S/V ZITA: A 2024 Balance 526 Walkthrough

Some catamarans are fast, some are comfortable, and a few manage to be genuinely serviceable at sea. The Balance 526 has built its reputation on doing all three at once, and in this full walkthrough broker Zee Kalinic (Zvonimir Kalinic) steps aboard S/V ZITA, a 2024 Balance 526 MKII currently based in Montenegro, to show why owners keep calling this design different. Zee brings some useful perspective to the tour: more than a decade in multihull brokerage, and a memory of standing beside Phil Berman at the Cannes Yachting Festival presenting one of the very first Balance catamarans — hull number six, he believes.…

Aboard S/V Little Bird: A 2021 Balance 526 Delivery

There are boat tours filmed at the dock, and then there are boat tours filmed at sea, wing-on-wing in 20-plus knots of breeze, surfing down Gulf Stream swells. Andrew Hodgdon of The Multihull Company chose the latter for S/V Little Bird, a 2021 Balance 526, using a delivery run from Nassau to St. Augustine as the backdrop for a genuinely useful walkthrough of one of the most desirable performance cruising catamarans on the market. A Late Mark I With Mark II DNA Little Bird is one of the last of the Balance 526 Mark I series, but she arrived in that transition window where several of the marquee Mark II upgrades had already been folded into the build.…

Aboard S/V GTFO: A Cruise-Ready 2024 Balance 482

Rig, Sails, and Deck GTFO carries Zoom Hydranet sails, a material prized for its shape retention and long service life, paired with a self-tacking jib on track. The wardrobe is deep: code zero, asymmetric, and a symmetrical spinnaker.…
