Balance 580 Windigo on Passage

Just over ten days ago, the first Balance 580, christened Windigo, embarked on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. Departing from a blustery Cape Town, she quickly found her rhythm, sustaining an impressive 17 knots in the early hours as her crew enjoyed a smooth and exhilarating ride — a true testament to both speed and comfort.

Windigo is currently anchored off St Helena Island, taking a brief rest before continuing on the second leg of her journey to Fernando de Noronha.

 

Crew members Ballie and Gareth, both seasoned Balance delivery skippers, have also been sharing highlights from their voyage on Instagram. Here are some standout moments from their adventure so far:
