The best thing about this boat is the ability to safely beach on the keels. This makes it possible to clean the hull and do quick maintenance between tides, instead of having to be hauled out. Shaft drives instead of sail drives would make this an even better yacht.

The hinged helm has been around for some time. I've seen them on monohulls years ago to bring the wheel from one side of the boat to the other or straight up. I've only been watching cats for about 8 years and Balance was the first one I've seen use it in this configuration. But you can't stop innovation. And the pivoting helm position is a game changer in the cat field. BTW. I love this metal cat.

Aluminum without significant weight penalty? Yeah right. Do the calculations. It's 3x heavier than a composite laminate and still not as strong or as fatigue resistant. Plus you need to add additional weight to insulate the hull and decks for thermal and sound. Plus you have major corrosion problems to deal with. And then you end up with a catamaran that will sink to the bottom unless you have very large flotation chambers. There are many good reasons why aluminum is not widely used for cruising cats. But the main one is that they get very heavy and consequently are very slow.

Multi-hull boats have shallower drafts and wider beams, so they're faster and, yet, more stable. They're prone to capsizing, but not prone to sinking unless the windows break or the doors leak. My only fear of multi-hull boats is their tendency to break in the middle or to run aground even on light ice because of the wider beam and lower force/area. The only realistic multi-hull option for the higher latitudes would be a trimaran, like the Independence Class littoral vessel, but much smaller, which has the central hull leading the lateral hulls to ensure the lateral hulls don't receive any wake from the central hull, to make the structure more robust, to better pierce the waves with the leading central hull, yet, cushion the plunge from a crest into a trough, with the following lateral hulls, and to use the central hull to glide atop on ice-pack, drag the lateral hulls over the pack, and then break the ice-pack with the weight of the yacht, not the force of impact. I would be very much interested in the Garcia Exploration Catamarn if it can be taken all the way up to the Arctic or the Antarctic, otherwise, I'd either settle for the Garcia Exploration 60, which has a very luxurious saloon, owner's suite and sundeck, but still has a single engine and a single propeller. The Murphy's Law has always worked against me, so I'd, ideally, want twin engines, twin screws and twin rudders, not just for redundancy, but also for better steering, like those on the sailing yachts Pangaea and Tara. The ideal expedition yacht, though, would be the Alucia with a 48ftx36ftx13ft hangar for the Gweduck amphibious aircraft.

Looking for something in Antarctica? Anything in particular?

Nice cat for a 52 footer, but those small fuel tanks and the stupid saildrives gotta go. The high maintenance saildrives and not enough fuel for extended off grid remote places expedition stile sailing does not work ! God forbid you hit something solid lurking just below the surface with one of those saildrives and bust open the membrane “5000 miles from nowhere”, you go into the drink 100% ‘cause aluminum ain’t floating unlike those foam cored composite hulls like the Gunboat. Me like the idea of an aluminum “explocat”, but at around 72’ (24m) LOA, a little bit skinnier hulls ratio to improve performance, higher bridge deck clearance, a sail plan more like on the Chris White’s Atlantic 72 cat, aquadrive seal and coupling on a shaft propulsion and more fuel capacity for the heating and the generator while on extended stay above 60 degrees N or S. Something like that would probably convince even Skip Novak to switch from his Pelagic monohulls to the “Explocat” multihulls, right? LOL Nah, absolutely not ! A multihull will never ever be safer than a monohull in the remote arctic regions for the simple fact that a multihull does not forgive an “overpowered situation” and once capsized it will never right itself like a monohull ! So, keep the multihulls for island hopping / leapfrogging and deck partying in the tropical paradises and the good ole aluminum or steel monohulls for the arctic exploration.
