excess 11

DESCRIPTION

The Excess 11 is a performance cruising catamaran that combines the sailing excitement of a responsive multihull with the comfort and space typically found aboard a much larger yacht. As the only large-scale production catamaran in its size category, the Excess 11 offers an impressive combination of livability, versatility, and performance in a compact and efficient design.

Built for both coastal cruising and extended offshore adventures, the Excess 11 is designed for sailors who want the freedom to explore beyond the ordinary. Whether discovering a secluded cove, anchoring off a remote beach, or seeking out new destinations, this capable cruising catamaran is designed to take you there. Its manageable size, efficient design, and practical sailing systems make it an appealing choice for couples and families seeking a true cruising yacht with long-range potential.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Excess 11 offers remarkable interior volume and comfort. Spacious accommodations, generous living areas, and thoughtful design details make extended time aboard enjoyable. The owner’s cabin features an impressive 2-by-2-meter berth, while the bathrooms include separate showers for added convenience.

The large, open cockpit creates a welcoming space for relaxing, dining, and entertaining, while twin helm stations provide an engaging sailing experience and keep the skipper connected to the crew. This balance of performance, simplicity, comfort, and efficient design captures the spirit of Excess Catamarans.

ADDITIONAL INFO

The Excess 11 is a versatile performance cruising catamaran designed for sailors who want the comfort and stability of a modern multihull without sacrificing the excitement of sailing. Developed by VPLP Design and introduced in 2020, the 37-foot Excess 11 combines proven offshore capability, thoughtful accommodations, and responsive performance in a size that is particularly well suited to couples and families.

With a CE Category A rating and a proven record of offshore performance—including a first-place finish in its division during the 2021 ARC Atlantic Rally—the Excess 11 is built for more than coastal cruising. Its 3’9” draft makes it especially appealing for Chesapeake Bay sailing, allowing access to shallow anchorages and cruising grounds that are unavailable to many larger sailboats. With a mast clearance of less than 57 feet, the Excess 11 is also well suited to the Intracoastal Waterway, making seasonal cruising to the Bahamas and other points south a realistic possibility.

The Excess 11’s twin aft helm stations are central to its engaging sailing experience. Positioned in the open with excellent visibility, the helms provide direct connection to the sails, the surrounding water, and the crew. Textile steering lines deliver responsive feedback at the wheels, while the short-handed deck layout keeps essential sailing systems within easy reach.

Inside, the Excess 11 offers a bright, contemporary living environment with a spacious three-cabin, two-head layout that is particularly well suited to cruising couples. The dedicated owner’s hull provides privacy and comfort, while the guest hull offers flexible accommodations for family and friends. An open galley, salon, and cockpit create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space ideal for entertaining and extended stays aboard.

With extensive options for performance upgrades, solar power, electronics, comfort systems, and cruising equipment, each Excess 11 can be tailored to its owner’s plans.
