InBalance is hull #4 of the Balance 482, commissioned by the founder of Balance Catamarans as his personal boat and specified with nearly every factory option. She is equipped with the full Essential Performance Voyager package: retractable daggerboards, six 48-volt electric winches, and 800 amp-hours of 24-volt lithium behind a dual Integrel charging system, plus an updated five-sail arsenal of Ullman sails.

Control lines run aft to Harken 48-volt electric winches: three at the helm, two on the aft coaming, and one at the mast base. Reefing, jib, and main handling are all worked from the upper helm without leaving the wheel.

InBalance is equipped with the iconic Versahelm adjustable helm position. The upper position offers visibility of course track and sail shape at the same time, with push-button control for the electric winches easily operated by foot switches. The lower position drops into the cockpit alongside the living space, with sightlines through the tempered glass salon windows and shelter from weather when you are standing watch offshore. Both stations have chartplotter, multifunction display, and autopilot control.

InBalance carries no diesel generator, which is a tremendous savings for weight and diesel consumption. Charging of the 800Ah 24-volt lithium bank (roughly 19 kWh) is provided by 1,600 watts of SunPower solar on individual Victron MPPT regulators and a dual Integrel system rated at 18 kW, upgraded to Gen3 brackets in 2026. This capacity allows uninterrupted power supply for the four zones of 48-volt variable-speed Frigomar air conditioning, the Spectra Cape Horn Extreme watermaker at 54 liters per hour, induction cooktop, the combination microwave/oven fitted new in 2025, and both Vitrifrigo drawer units, fridge, and freezer, replaced in 2024.

She is laid out in the three-cabin owner’s version configuration. The owner’s hull features the master ensuite aft with a separate shower stall, bench seat, and natural light. Forward is the master cabin with island berth, all-weather ventilation, and walk-in access to the forepeak with hanging storage. The Spectra watermaker unit and the Samsung washer/dryer are installed into dedicated lockers you can access without moving mattresses or stored items. The two guest cabins are to port, with the guest head kept separate from the shower compartment.

On deck, the aft cockpit and transom steps were redone with AquaTraction in 2024, and the bottom was taken to epoxy barrier coat with two coats of self-polishing antifouling in 2025. There is a top-loading cooler under the lower helm seat, a Kenyon electric grill with sink and cutting board, and a full cockpit enclosure with clear side panels. The cockpit table telescopes down into a daybed.

Ground tackle is a Rocna 33 on 50 m of 10 mm G4 chain behind a 48-volt Maxwell windlass, with a Fortress FX-37 secondary.

The OC Tender 350 with Yamaha 15 hp is new in 2025.
