Built by Rolf and Tamsin over two and a half years and launched in 1998, Balance is one of three Lidgard 35s to be built in Australia. Balance has been extensively cruised, including an 18 month journey over Australia’s top end, and raced inshore and offshore with highlights including placing third in both legs of the 2004 Geraldton Blue Water Classic. This will be the first Rolex Sydney Hobart for this Western Australian entry.
