The 2026 Excess 13 is a 42.5-foot fiberglass catamaran built for owners who want responsive sailing performance combined with modern cruising comfort. Twin Yanmar diesel engines of 80 horsepower each provide auxiliary power, while the lightweight hull, optimized sail plan, and refined design deliver impressive speed and agility under sail. The boat features dual aft helm stations that offer direct feedback and strong visibility, creating an engaging sailing experience.
The layout emphasizes open, flowing spaces. The cockpit and saloon connect through large sliding doors, creating one continuous living area with ample seating and a generous dining table. Natural light fills the interior, and ventilation is distributed throughout. Three cabins and two heads accommodate cruising crews, with headroom and storage designed for extended time aboard.
The accommodations below deck are finished to a high standard with clean lines and quality details. The owner's suite provides enhanced space, while guest cabins maintain the same level of care and finish. The overall design balances performance capability with practical comfort for both private cruising and charter work.
