Key features
Low boom, reduced windage thanks to lower freeboard, sleek lines and a redesigned hull.

Aft-set coachroof, a forward stepped mast, a composite bowsprit (as standard) as well as inverted and inclined bows.

The helm stations right at the stern in direct contact with the rudders and a good view of the sails, as inspired by monohulls.

Visibility is optimal on board the Excess 14, through untinted windows.

This model features deeper keels, and the rudder blades have been extended.

Direct steering system has been chosen, with textile lines, for a better helm feel.

Innovative architecture
Thanks to our collaboration with 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 an forward-set rig, a square-top mainsail, and a large overlapping genoa (as standard) to optimize 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.

Interior design and comfort
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, and bathrooms featuring a separate shower.
