Thomas Nilsson tests the Excess 13 catamaran on the water in winds gusting to 8–9 meters per second, recording 8 knots hard on the wind and 10 knots in waves.▶ 0:43 He describes the helm feel as closer to a monohull than a typical cruising catamaran — more responsive, with quick acceleration once the wind fills in.▶ 1:00 The boom sits unusually low, nearly brushing the coachroof, which Nilsson notes brings forces lower and improves stability.▶ 1:49 A rainwater collection system channels deck runoff into a dedicated tank for washing and deck rinsing.▶ 2:20 Interior highlights include dual bathrooms sharing a central shower, a large forward cabin with full-width berth, carbon-fiber handrails, and a minimalist style Nilsson contrasts with the related Lagoon line.▶ 3:21 He runs an informal bottle-stability test on the open shelving; the water bottle stays upright in choppy conditions.▶ 7:05 Finish quality draws mild criticism — a few panel gaps and thin wood veneer edges that fall short of the asking price.▶ 5:40 The Excess 13 starts at just under 7 million Norwegian kroner for a 43-foot catamaran, and Nilsson concludes it strikes a strong balance of speed, sailing performance, and cruising comfort, with weight optimization built into both the hull construction (vacuum-infused deck) and interior fit-out.▶ 8:19
