2021 Balance 48' (14.63 m)

Fort Lauderdale

Ke'Ala is by far the best condition Balance 482 available on the pre-owned market!Ke'Ala means "the path" or "the way" in Hawaiian. She lives up to that name as a fully equipped world voyager that is ready to carry you across oceans in safety and comfort. Ke'Ala was originally launched in Cape Town, South Africa in December 2021 and is hull #3 of this coveted high-performance brand. She has always been operated and meticulously maintained by her dedicated owner who is a professional captain. You will not find a Balance (or any other catamaran for that matter!) that shows in better condition.This is a rare opportunity to purchase a gorgeous example of the award-winning Balance 482 catamaran. The original design premise for the Balance 482 was to create a catamaran that had wonderful sailing characteristics with luxurious and comfortable accommodations but was set up to still be easily operated by a retired couple. Therefore, these performance cruising vessels are equipped with powerful sail plans and daggerboards which allow them to sail circles around the competition while still being easily managed for shorthanded operation. As the name suggests, it is the perfect balance of sporty sailing characteristics and liveaboard comfort.Balance Catamarans are well known for their stunning designs, exceptional build quality, and gorgeous fit and finish. They feature industry leading technology such as their signature VersaHelm steering system, Integrel charging technology, carbon fiber reinforced daggerboards, Ullman ASDL tri-radial laminate sails, state-of-the-art electronics suites, etc. The build process for these fantastic vessels incorporates Balances Carbon Cross design and construction techniques which utilizes E-glass fiberglass with significant Carbon Fiber reinforcement in the high load areas of the hulls and decks. Every Balance 482 is hand laminated and vacuum bagged with vinylester outer skin resin over closed cell foam cores. The end result is a lightweight, stiff, and robust vessel built for world voyaging.Ke'Ala has a 3-cabin Owners Version layout that is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a striking orange exterior hull color, and an extensive list of factory and after-market options. She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager. Several of her equipment highlights include: US Import Duty / Tariff Paid 48V Victron Lithium House Battery Bank Integrel Charging System on both engines 2 x 9kW Capacity 1600 Watts of Solar Spectra Cape Horn Watermaker w/ Z-Ion Air Conditioning / Heating throughout - DC high efficiency units can run directly off the batteries Ullman Performance Sail Package including Screecher and Spinnakers Full Raymarine Electronics Suite including Autopilot, Radar, AIS, etc LG Combo Washer / Dryer... And so much more!Ke'Ala is U.S. Duty / Tariff Paid and in turn key condition! A buyer could load her up the day after closing and head for the South Pacific without a second thought. Ke'Ala is located in Ft Lauderdale, FL and available for showings to qualified potential buyers by appointment.
