- Best for:
- This vessel suits performance-oriented coastal cruisers and bluewater adventurers who prioritize speed and modern amenities, evidenced by the high frequency of solar panel (214) and watermaker (23) installations. It is well-suited for owners willing to invest in comprehensive electronics upgrades, with Garmin (9) and Raymarine (6) being the most common choices.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.33 and a displacement of 23369.0 lb, the Excess 13 demonstrates strong offshore stability, further supported by the prevalence of bluewater-specific upgrades like watermakers (23) and wind generators (7) in the owner community.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other modern performance catamarans from the same era, such as the Lagoon 42 or Fountaine Pajot Elba 45, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and twin-hull configurations. These models are comparable due to their focus on light displacement, wide beams, and extensive owner-driven electronics and solar integrations.
