The Balance 482 represents a pivotal shift in the performance multihull market, designed to satisfy the rigorous demands of "blue water" couples who refuse to sacrifice speed for comfort. Launched as a collaborative effort between Balance Catamarans founder Phillip Berman and naval architect Anton du Toit, the 482 was engineered to fill the gap between heavy, productionbuilt "condomarans" and ultraspartan racing cats. Constructed at the Nexus Yachts facility in St. Francis Bay, South Africa, the vessel utilizes sophisticated building techniques, including vacuuminfusion with Eglass and carbon fiber reinforcements over closedcell foam cores. This emphasis on weight management allows the 482 to maintain a high powertoweight ratio while offering the interior volume necessary for longterm liveaboard voyaging. Since its debut, the model has garnered significant industry acclaim, most notably being named Sail Magazine's Best Performance Multihull for 2022.
