China’s first Excess 11, handled by Excess’s dealer in mainland China, Vastar Yachts, has safely arrived on Hainan island after shipping from Excess’s factory in Vendée, France.
The vessel made a stopover in Hong Kong where setup, tuning and boat preparation took place with the support of Excess APAC Team.
The delivery team from Vastar Yachts departed from Hong Kong and arrived at Clearwater Bay Marina in Hainan after nearly 60 hours of non-stop sailing at an average speed of eight knots, ranging over 400 nautical miles with a swell of 1.5 to 3 meters.
As the entry model of the Excess catamaran family, the Excess 11 is an uncompromisingly good performer in every aspect. She is innovatively designed with superior sailing performance, effectively-allocated spaces and comfort under sail.
The twin helm station aft is one of the iconic features of the Excess family, offering great maneuverability and thrilling sailing sensations. The retractable Bimini over the cockpit allows greater flexibility and visibility at sea, offering an option to either indulge yourself with a starry night or protect yourself from sunshine by adjusting the bimini.
The Excess 11 is available with 3 or 4 cabin options; both are with a 2-head setup, boasting a comfortable owner’s cabin, a decent galley, a relaxing saloon, as well as ample storage spaces.
The first Excess catamaran in APAC was Excess 12, dated back in 2020 in Australia. With the aggressive expansion plan, there will be more than 25 Excess boats by the end of 2023, including Excess 11, 12, 14and 15.
