Hiroshi Hamada, a member of the Excess Tribe, shares his experience with our brand. His dynamic journey, from buying his first Excess 11 to realizing his dream of a transatlantic crossing with the Excess 15, perfectly illustrates the brand's philosophy.
Hiroshi enthusiastically recounts his adventure:
"In May 2023, my dream came true. The new Excess 15, named Horizon Discovery, was delivered to me at the CNB shipyard in Bordeaux." His journey took him from Bordeaux to the Mediterranean Sea, then across the Atlantic during the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers), totaling nearly 20,000 nautical miles.
During the ARC 2024, his Excess 15 excelled in performance:
"We sailed faster than all the other cruising catamarans and most monohull sailboats. With a fully deployed mainsail and a Code Zero, our maximum speed over ground (SOG) was 15.6 knots on a downwind course."
