Following real-life sea trials, the jury praised a catamaran that combines sailing pleasure with everyday ease of use. They highlighted “sporty sailing performance and sleek lines,” a boat that is “at ease both upwind and in open sea,” and “a true mile eater on any point of sail.”
Beyond performance, the Excess 13 was also recognized for its accessibility and cruising comfort, remaining “easy to handle” while offering “the temperament of a sprinter when needed.”
For Excess, this award is particularly meaningful.
It validates a clear ambition: designing family cruising catamarans that remain true sailboats, delivering genuine sailing sensations without compromising shared moments at sea.
A major milestone for the Excess 13, and a strong recognition of our vision.
