From calm, coffee-sipping mornings on the bow to the rush of handling gusty conditions, this video captures every moment as our crew and guests tested Pippilotta\u2019s prowess. With Darren and Amanda from Outer Passage at the helm, Pippilotta handled it all with ease\u2014showing her impressive speed, maneuverability, and stability, even as conditions changed. Reaching up to 12 knots on a beam reach and demonstrating her sturdy build through two-meter swells, Pippilotta showcased the performance and comfort that define Balance Catamarans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Join us as we tack up the narrow channel, push her speed with the code zero on a broad reach, and share a rare behind-the-scenes view of the spacious cabins\u2014perfectly quiet even amidst challenging seas. The day ended with a Q&A, a downwind run back to Cannes, and a surprising 180-degree wind shift, adding an unexpected twist to an already eventful journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
