This September 10-15, 2019 TMC Agents Phil Berman, Alexis de Boucaud, Zvonimir Kalinic and the Balance 526 "Kia Pai" will be present and on display at this exclusive show in Southern France.

The Balance 526 has been the star of the United States Sailboat Shows since her launch, turning heads and eliciting praise from all quarters of the industry. She's a stunning high-performance catamaran that represents the exciting rebirth in South Africa of the high-end, labor-intensive, epoxy/carbon build techniques first employed by Gunboat in Cape Town in the mid-2000s. Now, she is ready to do the same in Europe.

In addition to being a yacht of the finest quality, the Balance 526 helm station design breaks significant new ground. The new 'Versahelm' design of the Balance 526 is so elegant, wise and functional one wonders why nobody thought to do it before on a catamaran. It makes it possible to sail in total comfort and protection no matter how nasty the weather gets, yet offers all the joys and pleasures of sailing when the weather is inviting.
