The Excess 13 is a 15.3-meter fractional sloop catamaran, designed by Marc Lombard Design Group, Eric Levet, and Marc Lombard, and built by Excess Catamarans since 2025. It features a twin keel hull, a 7.2-meter beam, a 1.5-meter draft, and a lightship displacement of 10,600 kg. Thomas Nilsson, reviewing the boat for SEILmagasinet, found it sailed at 8 knots hard on the wind and 10 knots in waves in 8–9 m/s gusts, noting its responsive helm felt closer to a monohull.0:15 The boom is set unusually low, improving stability by lowering forces.1:49 A rainwater collection system channels deck runoff into a dedicated tank for washing. The interior includes dual bathrooms sharing a central shower, a full-width forward berth, and carbon-fiber handrails, with a minimalist style contrasting with the Lagoon line.5:41 Nilsson observed some panel gaps and thin wood veneer edges, but concluded the Excess 13 balances speed, sailing performance, and cruising comfort.4:55 The PULSE LINE variant offers a taller mast and square-top main. Aboard Sailing Sunday, the crew evaluated the XS 13 at the Annapolis Boat Show, considering cockpit security, interior volume, and accessibility for an aging dog.14:54 Alfredo Contaldo noted its direct steering and self-tacking jib, emphasizing its weight reduction and performance focus.23:09
