Let me know if you have any questions about this boat or any of the other boats we have listed here in Grenada. I am a broker with The Multihull Company and would be happy to answer any questions you might have about buying or selling a catamaran here in the Caribbean. Beam winds!
What a great fast cruiser, love the adjustable helms, tuck down for when beating into 25 knt of rain at 3am! The main thing though is well done for giving us an informative walk through, 10 times better than most of them, nice to have someone who knows his s*&$ for a change!
Could have been a predecessor. Though to be honest Balance has really nailed it on the 526. I am working on a video I shot about the steering system on the Balance 526 - I need to get it wrapped up and published!
Nearly perfect boat. Only question is that dinghy setup. I guess its for weight balance? I have a feeling that having the sheets getting tangled every tack or gybe would be annoying ;)
Eddie - I agree that the dinghy setup could be an issue. Definitely for weight balance - much better than hanging that much weight off the back of the boat. I don't think that the sheets getting caught up would be that much of an issue - definitely need to be aware - but I think that they would stay clear the way they are ran. What I am leery of is how much trouble it might be to raise and lower it. But, I guess like everything - you would figure it out and get used to it.
Mookie - I'm flattered! Wiley is a friend of mine (I've known him since before he was a yacht broker). But no, this is Chris from LTD Sailing - "Living The Dream". We run an ASA sailing school and yacht brokerage in Grenada, West Indies! BTW - I'm looking forward to telling Wiley someone thought I was him! Let me know if you have any questions about this boat or any of the others we have listed.

Thanks Fred - I am glad you enjoyed the video! I'm actually just editing the next video now - so stay tuned for that one!
Do you think Balance took their Versahelm idea from this build??
