From the drawing board of Kiwi naval architect Roger Hill and multihull author and designer Phillip Berman comes the Balance 451, a blue-water performance cruising catamaran designed and built to restore balance to the catamaran universe.
If you’ve been frustrated by the sailing performance of the current crop of production charter cats, or displeased with the cramped and uninviting living spaces of the racers, the Balance 451 is the catamaran for you. She is designed to strike the ideal balance between comfort at anchor and performance underway. She’s fast, strong, safe, extremely comfortable to live on, simple to operate, and easy to maintain and sustain.
The Balance 451 Legacy will continue into 2021 at a discounted base price of $395,000, making her without question the best value in the new performance catamaran market.

After a round of test trials on prototypes in Australia and meetings together in New Zealand in 2012, Hill and Berman set out to create the ultimate performance cruising catamaran for a liveaboard couple.
