Fresh from the design board of award-winning catamaran designer Anton Du Toit comes the Balance 760, a luxury performance fly-bridge catamaran designed for high speed world voyaging. Skimmer is the first of the new Balance Custom range of large semi-custom catamarans.
As with all Balance Catamarans, Skimmer's design brief is centered on achieving a perfect balance between comfort at anchor and performance underway. She is designed to average speeds of 12 to 20 knots easily under sail, without effort - no racing crew required. During her sea trials in January 2017, with South Easter winds of 20-25 knots, Skimmer achieved boat speeds of 28 to 30 knots, with the code zero up. As the wind eased to 15 knots, the boat speed fell to around 18 to 20 knots. Skimmer sails comfortably in most conditions and will sit in and sail averages well over 15 knots in the trade winds. Under power she runs fuel efficiently in the 10 to 11 knot range, making her an ideal expeditionary catamaran for those who really want to go places in style.
As with all Balance Catamarans, she is built with only the finest materials. She is E-glass, carbon reinforced, foam core, and epoxy resins are used in her hulls and decks. All her cabinet grade furniture is foam sandwich. The end result is a 76 foot Catamaran that looks and feels like a luxury yacht inside and out, but which comes in at just 34 tons fully loaded with all of the creature comforts you would expect to find on a yacht of this size.
Skimmer is currently is currently in Grenada, undergoing repairs after she sustained some damage during hurricane Irma in Tortola. Her repairs are scheduled for completion by July or August of 2018.
