EXCESS 14 Catamaran - Boat Review Teaser - Multihulls World

► Full test in Multihulls World 188: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/excess-14-its-aim-is-to-combine-the-pleasure-of-sailing-with-great-comfort After the shipyard’s first sea trials off Ile d’Yeu on France’s Atlantic coast, Excess 14 hull #1 embarked on a trip around Spain and Portugal, bound for the French Riviera. The new catamaran, eagerly awaited by the public, was on display at the Cannes show and was even honored by an original diagonal mooring... This model, following on from the Excess 11, validates the principle of total autonomy: no elements coming from Lagoon are used here. The emphasis has been placed on the pleasure of helming, with asymmetrical hulls, deeper appendages and a sail plan potentially boosted by a boom that’s almost flush with the bimini and large downwind sails secured to long bowsprit. Compared to the Excess 11, note the return of an overlapping genoa and a pivoting helm seat that is more functional (it is integrated into the mini-bimini) than the old folding seats. The colors and materials are also a little more neutral than the flashier ambiance seen aboard the Excess 12 and 15. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Excess Catamarans Naval architect: VPLP Interior design: Nauta Design Hull length: 43’9” (13.34 m) Beam: 25’9” (7.87 m) Air draft standard rig: 64’11” (79.78 m) Air draft Pulse Line: 70’8” (21.54 m) Light displacement: 25,794 lbs (11.7 t) Sail area: 1,270/1,440 sq ft (118/134 m²) Code 0: 590/775 sq ft (55/72 m²) Engine: 2 x 45 or 2 x 57 HP Fuel: 2 x 53 US gal (2 x 200 L) Water: 79 or 158 US gal (300 or 600 L) Berths: 6 to 12 CE Certification: A: 10 - B: 12 - C: 16 - D: 20 ► 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!
