Balance 442 Lasai DEMO BOAT - New ArrivalLasai is a Balance 442 performance-cruising catamaran designed by Phillip Berman and Anton du Toit and built by Balance Catamarans in Cape Town, South Africa. Launched in late 2023 and showcased as DEMO boat at the International Multihull Show in La Grande-Motte 2024, she represents the Balance ethos: a light, carbon-reinforced, daggerboard catamaran that blends true sailing performance with comfort and easily managed sail handling.Specifications Designer: Phillip Berman & Anton du Toit Builder: Balance Catamarans, Cape Town, South Africa Model: Balance 442 Length overall: 13.50 m (444) Beam: 7.60 m (2411) Draft: 1.15 m / 39 (boards up) 2.15 m / 71 (boards down) Light displacement: approx. 10,750 kg Sail area (main + self-tacking jib): ~112 m / 1,205 sq ft Mast height above waterline: ~655 Fuel capacity: 2 400 L (2 106 gal) Fresh water capacity: 2 350 L (2 92 gal) Black water tanks: 2 42 L (2 11 gal) Engines: Twin Yanmar diesel saildrives with a bit more than 600 working hoursHighlights Carbon-reinforced composite construction with foam core for strength and weight savings Twin daggerboards for upwind performance and shoal-draft versatility Fractional sloop rig with self-tacking jib for easy single/short-handed handling Bright interior with U-shaped galley, generous storage, and approx. 68 (203 cm) headroom Proven offshore design: light, efficient, and seakindly with excellent bridgedeck clearanceThe agile multi-tasker is SAIL magazines Best Boat winner for 2023.Shes the ideal performance cruiser for island hoppers yet fully capable of trans-oceanic adventure travel. With her carbon reinforced foam core hulls and powerful sail plan the Balance 442 is a fast and able voyager. With her powerful 1, 205-square foot-sail plan the Balance 442 ghosts along in 5 knots of wind while others are burning diesel. But when its blowing, furl in her headsails, reef her down, and fly. She is built to withstand the worst weather.Gorgeous Interior DesignWith her owner-version configuration, the Balance 442 easily accommodates six people. And Balances innovative salon table converts into a queen-size bed so you can always host another couple. It is also a place to hang out, read a book, or sleep when your partner is on watch. Her master shower aft is luxurious. The 442 sports 610 of headroom, boasts a large U-shaped galley, and offers more real wood, hand-made cabinetry, than any catamaran of her size and class.Award-Winning VersaHelmThe 442 delivers the most expansive sight lines in the catamaran world today. The flow and openness between the main salon and cockpit are superbly designed with the VersaHelm - a helm station that swings up and down with ease. The VersaHelm has revolutionized all weather sailing. At Balance, our quest for perfect balance means we innovate, we create, we imagine better sailing experiences at every stage. And then we build it.Speed and Ease of OperationThe 442 is fast, but how does she balance the need for speed with the reality of single-handed sailing? Her self-tending blade jib makes tacking a simple matter of turning over the helm. All her reefing and sail management takes place at the upper helm station. With her dual furling headsails, electric winches, and mainsheet system that operates without a traveler, her ease of sailing is remarkable. Too windward, wow, drop down her daggerboards and point like a bandit.Fast But Always GraciousWe take our quest for perfect balance into every detail, making the 442 a sheer delight to live on. It is the most gracious liveaboard catamaran to be found today. Its luxury is in perfect harmony with its power.Shes a pleasure to move about on whether thats cooking, sleeping, lounging, bathing, dining or entertaining friends and family. There is a place to store everything on the 442, and a lot of places to just hang out and relax. You can pilot her up top in fair weather, pilot her down in the cold, you can lounge and read inside or outside, turn your tables into beds, into dining tables, into pleasure nooks for reading or watching the latest film.
