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.
Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.
What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.
Awesome company that worked as my brokerage on purchasing out FP catamaran. A special shoutout to Will Miller for walking us through the process
The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
Very smooth process. Chuck was great and very knowledgeable about the whole process. Im happy to have had TMC to take care of all the things i didnt know about.
