GRACIOUS LIVING, ELEGANT DESIGN We’ve profoundly improved upon catamaran living ergonomics – our bunks, heads and showers, as well as our cabinetry and finishes are truly state-of-the-art.

With her owner version configuration, the Balance 442 easily accommodates up to six people for a long voyage. She may also be ordered in a four cabin version. Our innovative salon table converts into a queen size bed so you can...

VERSA HELM DESIGN – BECAUSE ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL The new 442 delivers the most expansive sight lines in the catamaran industry today. The flow and openness between the main salon and the cockpit are superb, and her permanent up and down helm stations take the ground breaking Versa-Helm design to an entire new level. Spitting rain? Cold and tired? Who cares? You’re sailing a Balance. KEEPING IT SIMPLE The 442 is fast, sure. But she’s easily operated singlehanded if required. Her self-tending blade jib makes tacking a simple matter of turning over the helm. All of her reefing and sail...

In addition to being a yacht of the finest quality, the new “Versa-Helm” is so elegant, wise and functional one wonders why nobody thought to do it before WHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL? It’s been said before that, “Balance doesn’t make perfect – only perfect balance makes perfect.” This sums up our designs perfectly! We’ve thought through every aspect of the 442 to strike a careful balance between speed and comfort. Racers at heart, Berman and du Toit are also deeply practical sailors who’ve spent thousands of miles at sea. For them, a great catamaran must live as well as it sails. A superb...

Exposure to bad weather on the 442 is minimized while your ability to sail away from the worst is maximized. But sailing fast isn’t enough, is it? No catamaran should brag about being the first at anchor if she’s not also a sheer delight to live on. That’s why the 442 is the most gracious live-aboard 44 foot performance catamaran we could possibly design. Sailing fast is fun and a lot safer than sailing slow She’s a pleasure to move about on, to sleep on, cook, lounge, bathe, dine and entertain friends and family. There is a place to store everything on the 442, and a lot of places to just...
