The Excess Lab is where we talk about the boat, straight talk, no spin. Articles written with our teams, the architects, and our partners, accessible to everyone, whether you've been an owner for ten years or you're still searching for your first catamaran.
Right now, performance and the Excess 13 are taking center stage. What makes a catamaran fast, or not so fast? How do you read a speed polar and actually use it at the helm? Which parameters really influence a boat's performance out on the water? These questions have answers, and they're on the Lab. Data from the Excess 13 runs through it all, drawn from six months of sea trials led by naval architecture firm Marc Lombard Yacht Design.
Beyond the technical articles, the Excess Lab is also a community. Owners, enthusiasts, future buyers: everyone can access it, ask questions, suggest topics, and exchange directly with the Excess teams. A space for sharing, built for the Excess tribe.
