Excess 11

ALL THE FEATURES OF A BIG BOAT

Andrew explores the advantages and disadvantages of buying a new catamaran versus a used model, while sharing his experience in the quest for the perfect Excess 11 catamaran.

For multiple reasons, monohull enthusiasts often have a biased view of catamarans. But for Andrew and his partner, there are 5 main reasons to switch from a monohull to a multihull.

In his YouTube video, he shares this experience and takes us aboard the different boats he discovers. He explains why he ultimately chose an Excess 11 and presents his favorite options.

"It's a giant playground for children."

"This boat has the performance, it also has the comfort, this is a beautiful boat, everything is well build and must of all, we love the performance aspect."

"Customers love the aft helm position for the sensations, it's different from other catamarans! "

"In Tahiti, there are children who have never seen the sea, and we'd like to take them sailing. It's part of one of our projects with the Excess 11".

"I like this boat because it's fun, it's fast and it also allows you to cruise, so it's a good mix between cruising and fast sailing."

"I found that sailing was both relaxing and stimulating, as well as a good escape from the stress of my profession. »

Toutes les sensations du monocoque se retrouvent à la barre, et même aujourd'hui, on s’éclate !

“I love both the profile and the “hybrid” concept, halfway between a traditional monohull and a very cruisey catamaran such as a Lagoon. It's comfortable and easy to sail, with no more water on deck... And ladies prefer a boat that doesn’t heel!”

“I've been seduced by the performance of the Excess range, and that’s really why I've just bought an Excess 14, which for me is the ideal compromise. For me, with my sailing experience, it’s interior space and habitability, it meets all my expectations!”

“We spent exactly 365 days onboard of our Excess 11 in both the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and loved the combination of comfort and sailing performance. We never imagined that taking showers or cooking while crossing an ocean would be so much fun!”

“In our opinion, this is the perfect compromise between comfort under way and at anchor, and great sailing sensations with performance that frequently impresses us! It sails very well upwind as well as in light airs. From 7 knots of apparent wind, we move faster under sail than under motor. We don't regret our choice one bit, and enjoy every day spent on board our Silène.”

"The boat was really light and fast, the mainsail is laregerand easier to operate. The sails can be hoisted and lowered very quicly... The self-tacking of the foresail, ma,ny catamarans don't have this. This one is especially good for leisure sailing, family outing, for the begginers starters... First of all, it's covenient. That's impportant, it's easy to maneuver, it's easy to get started."
