Excess have moved forward their designs with the Excess 13 and 14 cruising catamarans, so seeing the Excess 14 at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show 2025 was high on the priority list, as well as talking to some exceptional high performance sailors on board to learn their thoughts.

Mark Jardine, Managing Editor of Sail-World.com and YachtsandYachting.com, spoke with Rohan Veal, Micah Lane and Yann Masselot to find out why they enjoy the Excess cats, what stands them apart from existing cruising catamarans on the market, and Yann talks about the 'Excess Tribe' and the training which is becoming ever more important to help people with their first outings on their yacht.

Excess Catamarans are distributed in Australia by 38 South Yacht Sales and Flagstaff Marine. See www.excess-catamarans.com to find out more.
