This is a guided tour of the Balance 526 Mk II by Phil Berman (Founder and Designer) at the 2023 Annapolis Sailboat show. It showcases what is new and improved on the 526 Mk II vs the original model. There is a lot to love in this boat as it is a performance catamaran that also gives great interior comfort and storage. At the end I highlight the areas I loved (Versa Helm being the biggest feature) but do mention a few things I wish it had, such as an electric propulsion options and shaft drive vs sail drive but overall this would be a fantastic boat to live on while you circumnavigate the globe.
