Excess 11: first trip out under sail!

This model, which has just been presented to the public at boot Düsseldorf, made her first runs under sail off the Vendée, on France’s Atlantic coast. 

The winter weather didn’t seem to have discouraged the yard's testers... The Excess 11 is the first model in the range to be free from a Lagoon heritage, so the molds are all new. Noticeable are the marked double chine and the aft bunks, fitted athwartships. This catamaran also has the advantage of occupying a segment that has been frankly neglected for the past ten years or so - catamarans under 40 feet. Could this be the replacement for the mythical Lagoon 380?
