Excess 14

Read our full test in Multihulls World 188 

The emphasis has been placed on the pleasure of helming, with asymmetrical hulls, deeper appendages and a sail plan potentially boosted by a boom that’s almost flush with the bimini and large downwind sails secured to long bowsprit. Compared to the Excess 11 2020 vintage, note the return of an overlapping genoa and a pivoting helm seat that is more functional (it is integrated into the mini-bimini) than the old folding seats. The colors and materials are also a little more neutral than the flashier ambiance seen aboard the old one Excess 12 and 15.
