Absolutely LOVE the Balance Cats! I've had the privilege to sail with Paul Spokes on his 526 Balance Cat - "10 LIVES" around Cape Point twice... What an amazing vessel and Experience! I'd love to come visit your Factory one day! @Phil Berman, please may I come visit you guys one day? Paul and his crew are currently underway to Madagascar and have a very easy sail so far!
Shuan, of course we would love to show you our facilities in both Cape Town and Saint Francis. Just give us a heads up to sort you. Of course December 15 to January 10th we are closed for the Summer holiday. Go well, and thank you for appreciating our catamarans.
The V and A Waterfront is a horrible racist haven that I will avoid at all costs. The year before Covid I was denied access to the annual yacht show because I had the audacity(sic) to enquire about a discount for a homeless senior citizen? The black females screamed like crazy things until I walked away embarressed and humiliated....
I am at the VA constantly and the place is as multiracial as any I've seen in the world for a tourist destination. What someone did at a yacht show to you during Covid is one thing, and sounds deplorable, but it was the actions of a few people. That hardly turns the VA into a racist haven. On any given night I would say that the place is populated by 40% or more of black men and women, dining, drinking, shopping. It's a vibrant place full of street dancers and entertainment for a family.
It is wonderful that you produce a quality product in south Africa. For too long we have been living under the cloud of Leopard which have not been good.
That's a nice looking catamaran 👍
Thanks 👍

Phil is the best in the business. Knew it when I met him in early 2020 and know it now!
Congrats to Phil and his great team at Balance in South Africa. Truly a world class company.
You are so very kind Ryne. Thank you.

@balancecatamarans Having re-read my post, I clearly stated,....the year BEFORE Covid......
