Overview
About this vessel
Introducing the Excess 14 - a fun and playful cruising sailboat with sleek lines! With more sensations and everything you'd expect of a cruising boat. The Excess 14 is the pure incarnation of the Excess DNA. It is the result of a dedicated design work and an industrial execution, unique to the brand. Instantly recognisable design with a low boom, reduced windage thanks to lower freeboard, taut lines and redesigned hull windows. Add an aft-set coachroof, a forward stepped mast, a composite bowsprit (as standard) as well as inverted and inclined bows for more fun! Finish off with an exposed forefoot and you have a dynamic catamaran that's ready for adventure.
For more sensations at the helm, helm stations right at the stern in direct contact with the rudders and a good view of the sails, as inspired by monohulls. What you may not know is that visibility is optimal on board the Excess 14, through untinted windows - this is an Excess exclusive on the market! This model features optimized fins design, and the rudder blades have been extended. 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. Enriched by their expertise and cutting-edge software, this 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 designed asymmetrically to reduce interference drag.
There is also: lower center of gravity, optimised structure (foam sandwich, carbon reinforcements, etc.), new longitudinal volume distribution. The Excess 14 is a cruising catamaran that also offers comfort and modularity of its living spaces. The goal was to maintain volume and good headroom, all this in a warm and as bright as ever 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!
