Overlapping Genoa Setup

Hi everyone,
We're in the process of choosing between the self-tacking jib and the overlapping genoa for our Excess 11, but we're struggling to find detailed information about how the overlapping genoa works in practice.

Bonjour,
I see the Excess 13 is specified with twin 40hp diesel engines and that Yanmar offer an option to have a second 12V - 124A alternator on their new 40hp 3JH40 engine.

CUTTER RIG ON THE 14

5 comments

Hi All,
I would like to raise a question on the possibility / suggestion to add a foresail in order to have a cutter rig (adding a self tacking small jib for storm like weather).
