This is your opportunity to purchase a practically new 2026 Balance 442 featuring a cutting-edge OceanVolt ServoProp hybrid-electric drivetrain!

Featuring the Carbon Core Upgrade and 464 Interior elements!

PARATI is fully equipped and ready to go sailing today. She was launched in Cape Town, South Africa in 2026 and is hull #28 of this coveted high-performance brand. PARATI is a truly unique Balance 442 — finished with some of the new Balance 464 interior updates, built with the full carbon-reinforcement and full-vinylester laminate packages, and powered by an all-electric OceanVolt ServoProp drivetrain backed by a Fischer Panda DC range-extending generator. She stands out as one of the most refined and forward-leaning examples of this model afloat.

The original design premise for the Balance 442 was to create a catamaran with wonderful sailing characteristics and luxurious, comfortable accommodations that could still be easily operated by a cruising couple. These performance cruisers carry powerful sail plans and daggerboards that let them sail circles around the competition while remaining easily managed shorthanded. As the name suggests, she is the perfect balance of sporty sailing and liveaboard comfort.

Balance Catamarans are renowned for their stunning designs, exceptional build quality, and beautiful fit and finish. Signature features include the patented VersaHelm steering system, carbon fiber-reinforced daggerboards, and state-of-the-art systems. Construction uses E-glass with significant carbon-fiber reinforcement in the high-load areas of the hulls and decks; every Balance 442 is hand-laminated and vacuum-bagged over closed-cell foam cores. PARATI takes this further with the full carbon-reinforcement package (bulkheads, floors, hull soles, rudders, and daggerboards) and a full-vinylester laminate, yielding a light, stiff, and exceptionally robust world-voyaging platform.

PARATI has the desirable 3-cabin Owner’s Version layout. She is tastefully appointed with custom touches, a striking custom vinyl wrapped hull, and an extensive list of factory and after-market options.  PARATI is equipped with the most modern systems available to a liveaboard voyager. 

Several of her equipment highlights include:

• OceanVolt ServoProp 15 Dual Electric Drivetrain — Twin 15kW motors (30 kW combined) with variable-pitch propellers

• Fischer Panda AGT-DC 18kW DC range-extending Generator

• 48V Victron Lithium House / Propulsion Battery Bank — approx. 41 kWh total!
