Excess 13 – A minimalist catamaran
We could define theExcess 13 as a catamaran in some respects “Minimalist,” the designers in fact worked to reduce weight, with the goal of making the boat agile under sail, to do this smart choices were made. “Less is more ” translates into a permanent search for optimization.
On theExcess 13, for example, we installed a rainwater recovery system on the roof, which is then stored in a tank.
An efficient ventilation system limits the power of the installed air conditioner.
In the cabins, the doors have a dual function, both as a front door and as a closet door.
When one is open, the other is closed.
This may sound anecdotal.
But less matter and more passage space are small details that put together make a difference,” explains Hervรฉ Piveteau, product manager of Excess 13.
Excess 13 – Interior
Interiors are offered in various layouts, 3- or 4-cabin, with the galley area positioned close to the outside cockpit, pursuing the famous continuity between spaces that modern cruising catamarans always chase.
Outsiders
“The project was simple and ambitious : to create an evolving and balanced catamaran that is reliable and offers good sensations, all combined with the comfort and interior volume that make the Excess so successful.The shapes of the hulls, the weight, the composite structure, the layout, the ergonomics, the efficiency of the sail plan… Everything in this new Excess is designed around the pleasure of easy sailing and comfortable living aboard,” explained Eric Levet, Lombard studio, architect of the new Excess 13.
The deck is also interesting, with fairly wide side transoms, thanks to a gathered deckhouse that leaves the side walkways free, on which the rigging lines also run.
Maneuvers that serve a 115 sq. m. sail plan, which is generous, thanks to a jib with a not inconsiderable overlap and a Square top mainsail.
