About
Fresh from the design board of award-winning catamaran designer Anton Du Toit comes the Balance 760, a luxury performance fly-bridge catamaran designed for high-speed world voyaging. Skimmer is the first of the new Balance range of large semi-custom catamarans.
As with all Balance Catamarans, Skimmer's design brief is centered on achieving a perfect balance between comfort at anchor and performance underway. She is designed to average speeds of 12 to 20 knots easily under sail, without effort - no racing crew required.
During her sea trials in January 2017, with South Easter winds of 20-25 knots, Skimmer achieved boat speeds of 28 to 30 knots with the code zero up. When the wind eased to 15 knots the speed fell to around 18 to 20 knots. Skimmer sails comfortably in most conditions and will sit in and sail averages well over 15 knots in the trade winds. Under power she runs fuel efficiently in the 10 to 11 knot range, making her an ideal expeditionary catamaran for those who really want to go places in style.
Skimmer, like all Balance Catamarans, is built with only the finest materials. She is E-glass, carbon reinforced, foam core, and epoxy resins are used in her hulls and decks. All her cabinet grade furniture is foam sandwich. The end result is a 76 foot Catamaran that looks and feels like a luxury yacht inside and out but comes in at just 34 tons fully loaded with all of the creature comforts you would expect to find on a yacht of this size.
Skimmer is currently located in Croatia.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
Andrew Hodgdon always goes above and beyond. After several transactions I wouldn’t work with anyone else in the industry.
Andrew at the Multihull Company was our buyer’s broker and he was excellent to work with. He thoroughly explained the purchase process, and helped with many questions along the way. We would definitely use Andrew and Multihull again to buy and sell catamarans and yachts.
We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout.
