Balance 451 HEADQUARTERS
Designed by the renowned Kiwi multihull architect Roger Hill, HEADQUARTERS is a production multihull incorporating performance-oriented modern design elements typically reserved for much higher-value yachts.
The current owner, a pilot with a background in the aviation industry, has been cruising the Bahamas and the US East Coast. He applies an aviation-inspired philosophy of preventative maintenance to yacht care, ensuring that HEADQUARTERS has been exceptionally well cared for and maintained during his ownership.
The 3-cabin owner layout, featuring slim hulls and wave-piercing bows, features an office and single berth aft on the port side. It delivers forgiving performance even when laden with cruising payloads. Featuring daggerboards, resin-infused foam-cored hulls, and decks, the Balance 451 punches well above its class, providing its owners with easy, safe, single-handed sailing suitable for extended blue-water voyages.
The accommodations are cleverly laid out to maximize space and comfort. The forward cabins are positioned athwartships, optimizing both living space and hull performance. Large overhead hatches ensure ample ventilation and light. The cherry wood cabinetry and salon table, featuring intricate inlays, showcase the builder's attention to detail and quality. Guandong, China, where the build was completed, is renowned for its high-end furniture factories and manufacturing quality.
On deck, HEADQUARTERS boasts an aft cockpit with curved seating and a folding table that invites social gatherings without sacrificing the functionality needed for sailing. The helm station is thoughtfully designed and raised to starboard with four-corner visibility for offshore passage-making and easy docking. The aluminum mast is well-proportioned, and the sail package is comprehensive for blue-water cruising. The deck gear layout is organised and, along with the standing and running rigging package, is in excellent condition.
HEADQUARTERS is the perfect blue-water cruising platform for families, couples, or solo sailors.
