EXCESS 11

About the EXCESS 11

Exterior design: Patrick Le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Upwind SA for the Pulse Line: 82 sqm / 882 sqft

The Excess 11 is a modern performance cruiser designed by VPLP Design and built by Excess, with production records indicating a start year of 2020. As a relatively new entry in the market, the fleet is young, and the available owner data reflects a mix of initial setup experiences and early maintenance trends rather than long-term aging issues.

Best for:

This boat suits performance-oriented coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize speed and modern ergonomics, as evidenced by the high prevalence of performance sailmakers like North Sails and advanced electronics such as Nexus and B&G.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 19842.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.2, the Excess 11 offers moderate offshore stability, though its light D/L ratio of 185.34 suggests it is optimized for coastal performance rather than heavy-weather bluewater passage making.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 37 and the J/112, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, light displacement characteristics, and a focus on competitive sailing with modern cockpit layouts.
