► Full test in Multihulls World N°199: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/excess-11-return-of-the-overlapping-genoa ► The Excess brand is all about the pleasure of sailing on two hulls, with off-center helm stations and a younger spirit in the choice of materials and colors... but now the time has come to make a difference on the water in terms of performance. The best-selling Excess 11, which has already seen over 200 examples sold since its launch in 2020, is recognized as a comfortable, seakindly catamaran - as witnessed by its many ocean crossings. But in light airs, it remains relatively heavy and lightly canvased compared to the benchmark in its size, the Lagoon 380. Even in the Pulse Line version (with a taller rig), the displacement was 19,850 lbs (9 tonnes) and sail area 882 square feet (82 m²), compared with 16,000 lbs (7.26 t) and 829 sq ft (77 m²) for the 380, i.e. a sail area to weight ratio of 9.11 m²/t and 10.61 m²/t respectively. The manufacturer has therefore modified the self-tacking jib sail plan to adopt an overlapping genoa - a configuration already in use on the Excess 14. This brings the total sail area to 1,028 sq ft (95.5 m²), an increase of 16.5%, which translates into a new ratio of... 10.61 m²/t! In the company of Excess Catamarans’ product manager, Hervé Piveteau, and sales manager, Théo Lelay, our colleague Brieuc Maisonneuve got the chance to appreciate the liveliness of this new Excess 11, particularly when it came to picking up again after tacking. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Excess Catamarans Architect: VPLP Overall length: 37’6” (11.42 m) Beam: 21’7” (6.59 m) Draft: 3’9” (1.15 m) Displacement: 19,850 lbs (9 t) Upwind sail area: 1,028 sq ft (95.5 m2) - Pulse Line rig Mainsail: 592 sq ft (55 m²) Self-tacking jib: 236 sq ft (22 m²) Code 0: 581 sq ft (54 m²) Motors: 2 x 29 HP Fuel: 105 US gal (400 l) Water: 79 US gal (300 l) Cabins: 3/4 ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

The 2023 season got off to the tradition start with the Quoile Yacht club host the spring series on the picturesque shores of strangford lough. With two J109 and two Impala 28's on the staring line in the ICR class there would a race within the race for all competitors. Going to Red got of to a great start with their Code Zero powering them off the start line, allowing them to stretch out a good lead by the time they had made it to mark 5. They did not look back, increasing they lead at every mark, sliding up the the first beat in the deepest part of the lough to get the most assistance from the tide before reaching under some of the competitors in the NHC class with their kite up before taking dropping the kit in front of Killyleagh Yacht Club and beating back up the Quoile River to the take the win both across the line and on corrected time. The racing was tight for the minor places was tight with both the Impala's getting the better of the Jammie Dogger, the other J109 in the fleet.
