The Excess 14 is a cruising yacht that is both fun and playful, with sleek lines. It is the result of a dedicated design work and an industrial execution, unique to the brand. She is the outcome of innovative architecture, of unbiased research work seeking 'out of the box' solutions.

The Excess 14 is designed around a layout never seen before on the market, both in the owner's version and in the charter version. More sensations yet everything you'd expect from a cruising boat: this is the challenge taken up by the Excess 14!

    THE EMBODIMENT OF EXCESS DNA: A FUN AND PLAYFUL CRUISING SAILBOAT WITH SLEEK LINES.

    Instantly recognizable design:

    Take a low boom, reduced windage thanks to lower freeboard, taut lines and redesigned hull windows, and you get a catamaran with a distinctive look! Add an aft-set coachroof, a forward stepped mast, a composite bowsprit (as standard) as well as inverted and inclined bows for more fun! Finish off with an exposed forefoot and you have a dynamic catamaran that's ready for adventure.

    For more sensations at the helm, you know our preference:

    Helm stations right at the stern in direct contact with the rudders and a good view of the sails, as inspired by monohulls.

    What you may not know is that visibility is optimal on board the Excess 14, through untinted windows - this is an Excess exclusive on the market!

    This model features an optimized fins design, and the rudder blades have been extended! A direct steering system has been chosen, with textile lines, for a better helm feel (because yes, it is important!)

    INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURE: UNBIASED RESEARCH TO FIND 'OUT OF THE BOX' SOLUTIONS

    Fundamental, unbiased research!

    The Excess's collaboration with VPLP design, the lines of the Excess 14 have benefited from an understanding of ocean racing. Enriched by their Expertise and cutting-edge software, this model is designed with an forward-set rig, a square-top mainsail, and a large overlapping genoa (as standard) to optimize the sail area to displacement ratio.

    As it was impossible to leave it at that, bridgedeck clearance was increased for better passage through the water, and the hulls designed asymmetrically to reduce interference drag.
