Excess 14

A fun and playful cruising sailboat with sleek lines and all the qualities expected of a cruising boat. The Excess 14 is the pure incarnation of the Excess DNA, the result of dedicated design work and industrial execution unique to the brand.

The design is instantly recognisable with a low boom, reduced windage thanks to lower freeboard, taut lines and redesigned hull windows. It features an aft-set coachroof, a forward stepped mast, a composite bowsprit as standard, inverted and inclined bows for more fun, and an exposed forefoot to create a dynamic catamaran ready for adventure.

For more sensations at the helm, helm stations are positioned right at the stern in direct contact with the rudders with a good view of the sails, as inspired by monohulls. Visibility is optimal on board through untinted windows—an Excess exclusive on the market.

This model features optimized fins design with extended rudder blades. A direct steering system has been chosen, with textile lines, for a better helm feel. Thanks to VPLP design, the lines of the Excess 14 have benefited from an understanding of ocean racing. The model is designed with a forward-set rig, a square-top mainsail, and a large overlapping genoa as standard to optimise the sail area to displacement ratio.

Bridgedeck clearance was increased for better passage through the water, and the hulls are designed asymmetrically to reduce interference drag. The boat also features a lower center of gravity, optimised structure with foam sandwich and carbon reinforcements, and a new longitudinal volume distribution.

The Excess 14 is a cruising catamaran that offers comfort and modularity of living spaces. The goal was to maintain volume and good headroom in a warm and bright interior design. In the hulls you'll find wide, very comfortable beds. For setting off on your adventure, large and subdivided storage spaces have been created, as well as a retractable chart table.
