WELCOME TO THE ONE AND ONLY COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM IN THE CATAMARAN WORLD

Hello Excess team.
I'm answering your topic on aft transoms.

Hi everybody!
Last April us two and our friend families went sailing in Greece, Ionian Islands, starting from Lefkas.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on about better protection for the bows, keels and especially the spade rudders, which are very exposed?

Hello,
I am the future owner of an Excess 11, a boat I’ve carefully studied. I’m intending to make a modification to the non-structural part through which the anchor chain passes.

Hello,
One of the advantages of a catamaran is its stability in a horizontal plane.
Sailing in Brittany on an Excess 11 catamaran as owner, I'm wondering if it's still possible to “beach” my catamaran?
More generally, is the possibility of beaching still feasible and taken into account in the design of modern catamarans? I’m sure nobody emphasizes this advantage anymore.
It could also facilitate storage ashore if it could be sat on its keels without...

As a fan of the little colored bricks, I can imagine building my own Lego boat, while I wait till I can have a real one on a 1:1 scale!

Bonjour, après avoir vu plusieurs bateaux-copains rencontrer des soucis avec l'histoire d'amour entre l'eau de mer et l'urine qui donne naissance à un "conglomérat" type calcaire qui a tendance à boucher les évacuations... Je voudrais avoir le retour d'expérience des contributeurs du LAB pour faire le bon choix dans la configuration de notre prochain Excess 14. L'avantage bien sûr des toilettes à l'eau de mer est de ne pas utiliser d'eau potable...
