Balance Catamarans is pleased to announce the launch of Balance 526 Hull #7 "Vingilote" in Cape Town, South Africa.

"Vingilote" is looking truly amazing with her sharp, wave piercing bows, and her stunning technicolor vinyl wrap.

"We really couldn't be happier to have 'Vingilote' on the water," said Phillip Berman, Balance Catamarans founder. "She is truly eye-catching and the quality of the boat is second to none. She is that perfect balance of high performance and live-ability and the feeling of satisfaction we get from each new launch is truly enormous."

With Balance 526 Hulls 8, 9, 10, 11 launching in 2020, and with hull #1-4 currently under build on the exciting new Balance 482, it is going to make for an amazing year for Balance Catamarans in South Africa!

"We never wanted to grow the company too fast and lose touch with why we started in the first place," said Berman, "which was to truly build the finest performance voyaging catamarans on the water for a handful of appreciative customers. We approach each boat as a work of art, but are palpably aware that our customers are risking their lives sailing the products we build. It is one thing to build fast and beautiful catamarans, but in the end they must be built robustly enough to withstand the worst weather nature can deliver."
