REVIEWS 

Yachtworld – Performance & Handling

“The Excess 14 delivers a competitive performance, cruising experience with positive helm feel and good up wind speeds in moderate breeze. Testers noted the boat tacks easily and maintains lively speeds. —around 7.4 to 8.0 kn in 12 to 14 kn of true wind—-showing that a production catamaran can be both fun and rewarding to sail without excessive complexity or high cost.”

Crusing World- “Best Cruising Catamaran Under 50 Feet”

In light conditions (as little as 5 kn of wind), the Excess 14 showed respectable boat speeds and agility, feeling relatively lively, even in minimal breeze. Reviewers highlighted easy line handling with sheet winches close to the helm, plus excellent visibility from aft helm stations and a cockpit designed for social sailing.
