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. Keep in mind that you’re looking at the “facelift” Mark II model, different from the first 526. This version is weight-reduced, features improved reinforcements on load-carrying structures, and includes changes in design. The most noticeable change is the saloon sightlines due to the removal of a structural post.

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

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.…
