GTFO is the most competitively priced Balance 482 currently available on the pre-owned market! This is a preliminary listing with new photos and walkthrough video scheduled once the boat arrives in Florida.
GTFO means "Got The F**k Out!" and that was exactly the owner's plan as they sailed into the sunset after retirement. She lives up to that name as a fully equipped world voyager that is ready to carry you across oceans in safety and comfort. GTFO was originally launched in Cape Town, South Africa in November 2023 and is hull #14 of this coveted high-performance brand. In the time since departing Cape Town, GTFO has twice crossed the Atlantic and cruised extensively in the Caribbean, US East Coast, and Mediterranean. She is a proven blue water cruiser with the sailing performance to make any true sailor smile!
Designated by Balance as Hull #14 - she is in fact the 13th 482 hull built. Balance skipped hull number 13 for superstitious reasons, yet her owners embraced its deeper symbolism. The number 13 represents the death of one life and the rebirth of another. That’s why GTFO proudly carries a large “13” on her hull wrap, celebrating transformation and new beginnings — a fitting reflection of her name and spirit.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a gorgeous example of the award-winning Balance 482 catamaran. The original design premise for the Balance 482 was to create a catamaran that had wonderful sailing characteristics with luxurious and comfortable accommodations but was set up to still be easily operated by a retired couple. Therefore, these performance cruising vessels are equipped with powerful sail plans and daggerboards which allow them to sail circles around the competition while still being easily managed for shorthanded operation. As the name suggests, it is the perfect balance of sporty sailing characteristics and liveaboard comfort.
Balance Catamarans are well known for their stunning designs, exceptional build quality, and gorgeous fit and finish. They feature industry leading technology such as their signature VersaHelm steering system, 48V Victron house batteries, carbon fiber reinforced daggerboards, state-of-the-art electronics suites, etc. The build process for these fantastic vessels incorporates Balance’s “Carbon Cross” design and construction techniques which utilizes E-glass fiberglass with significant Carbon Fiber reinforcement in the high load areas of the hulls and decks. Every Balance 482 is hand laminated and vacuum bagged with vinylester outer skin resin over a closed-cell foam core. The end result is a lightweight, stiff, and robust vessel built for world voyaging.
GTFO has a 3-cabin Owner’s Version layout that is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a custom silver vinyl wrapped hull, and an extensive list of factory and after-market options. She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager. Several of her equipment highlights include:
... And so much more!
