Excess 12 & 15

April 23, 2020

The Excess 15 has been designed for all those who dream of a cruising catamaran offering proper sailing sensations. Aboard this catamaran, you’ll experience so many emotions: aesthetic and sporting. Her very luminous, contemporary interior, open to the outside world, and her new-generation rig promise some beautiful sailing and a feeling of pleasure at sea.

With an area of 125 m² (1,345 sq ft) and her 25-meter (82’) high mast, the Excess 15 is the largest in the new Bénéteau Group family.
In addition to her large spaces, this boat has twin helm stations, located at the after end of each hull, which are designed to increase the pleasure of sailing.

As for the interior, there’s a huge raised saloon/dining area with a 360° view of the sea through non-smoked bay windows. Depending on the desired space, you can choose between a three, four or even six double cabin version. The catamaran’s 8-meter (26’3”) beam offers a cockpit large enough to accommodate a beautiful table, around which eight people can easily sit.

Her unique, balanced and seductive lines embody the spirit of Excess while combining this with the comfort of a large cruising catamaran.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
