Excess 13 catamaran slicing through deep blue sea under sail
Ce que couvre cette vidéo
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.2:03 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.5:41 He runs an informal bottle-stability test on the open shelving; the water bottle stays upright in choppy conditions.7:04 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
