Erica helms Balance catamaran under golden sun, sails full
Qué cubre este vídeo
Warren and Erica of WEsail return to the Annapolis sailboat show for the third consecutive year, spending the day touring boats and meeting sponsors including Highfield, Precision Sales, and Total Boats.▶ 14:39 The centerpiece is a guided walkthrough of a Balance catamaran, which they compare favorably against Ultramare, HH, and Gunboat on the grounds that it better balances performance, cost, and livability.▶ 2:58 They highlight the Balance's VersaHelm — a helm station that pivots 90 degrees between a raised and a lowered, weather-protected position — and its daggerboards, which they say deliver 20–40% higher speeds than production cats with stronger upwind performance.▶ 3:14 Neither shopping nor sponsored, they frame the Balance as a future dream boat.▶ 2:05 The show leads to an impromptu sunset sail aboard a Balance owned by Amanda and Darren of Our Passage, a performance catamaran charter and training operation.▶ 6:24 For Erica, it marks nearly a full year off the water since hauling out in New Zealand.▶ 5:54 Warren also explains the Antel hook mainsail head system to a fellow sailor dockside.▶ 7:35 The episode closes with the crew already in the Bahamas, preparing for their sixth charter run, and includes a tribute to Kristen of Harbors Unknown.▶ 17:41 Daggerboards and the VersaHelm are the specific features that keep drawing them back to the Balance over other performance cats.▶ 3:13
