EXCESS 14 Catamaran | Walkthrough | 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 ► 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!
