Balance 451 for sale in Phuket Thailand

This Balance 451 Owner's Version is a performance sailing catamaran in excellent condition. She was sailed by her owner around Asia and has never been chartered. Well equipped with a plethora of upgraded equipment to suit a true sailor's need and comfort.

The most striking features of the Balance 451 are her slim hulls, contoured cabintrunk and above all else an aggressive pair of wave-piercing bows that serve to both increase waterline length and reduce pitching. Not only are her hulls and deck foam cored, but her bulkheads, floors, hardtop bimini, cabinetry and even her dining tables are cored as well. This light weight translates into speed without having to resort to a massive, hard-to-handle sailplan. She is a beautiful boat with excellent performance - especially in light airs!

Boasting 3 well-appointed guest cabins plus 2 bathrooms and upgraded 40HP engines with sail drives, she recently came off the hard stand and is now back in the water. The owner added new sails, replaced mufflers, performed full engine service, replaced seals in sail drives, wash and waxed the boat, ... .
