ExteriorThe Balance 526’s all‑epoxy, carbon‑reinforced, foam‑core build features reverse‑raked wave‑piercing bows and flush‑deck captive daggerboards. An aluminum mast with a single spreader and wire rigging flies Ullman sails, including a new Ullman RDL mainsail (2025).

DeckThe deck and cockpit feature the Versahelm convertible upper and lower helms under a hard bimini, Flexi teak surfaces, and a cockpit table that lowers to a daybed. Sunshade awnings, a Kenyon electric BBQ, surfboard holders, carbon grab handles and stanchions, a port‑side fold‑up aluminum swim ladder, fishing rod holders, and black nylon trampolines round out the setup.

InteriorThe saloon has a U‑shaped settee with a walnut telescopic/folding table that converts to a daybed, zebrawood‑and‑white finishes with tobacco oak flooring, a 32" TV, a Fusion MS‑AV750 stereo, and Frigomar 16,000 BTU air conditioning. The navigation station includes a desk with composite seat and drawers, a B&G Zeus 12" MFD with H5000 GFD and autopilot controls, plus an ice maker under the station.

CabinThe owner’s version layout places a king‑size master berth forward in the starboard hull, while the port forward cabin adds a full hanging cupboard, four drawers, and Oceanair shades. The port aft cabin’s split mattress converts to a large bed with storage for two bicycles beneath and a size 40 overhead hatch, with Frigomar 10,000 BTU units serving each cabin.

HeadThe starboard master ensuite has a Tecma electric toilet, solid surface vanity with moulded basin, and a shower with a frosted Lexan partition, overhead rain shower, and hand shower. In the port hull, the head has a Tecma electric toilet and solid surface vanity, and the separate shower provides a seat, massage head tap, solid surface vanity, and an opening portlight.

OtherMechanical and electrical spaces show 2 x Yanmar 4JH57 diesels with SD60 saildrives and Gori 3‑blade 15" folding propellers, plus dual Racor filters per engine and a diesel transfer pump.
