1. The compressor
2. The fan + air duct
3. The water feed pump

In our case we installed the compressor under our bed but there's a layer of stuff in...

Re: New Excess Catamarans!

I agree on that comparing Polars is always a bit tricky. When going upwind (or downwind) we always have the up/downwind VMG on our displays. As you mentioned polars are about pointing (heading) but...

Re: Anyone sail a Bene Excess cat?

Hi,
Your questions are very a valid, let me comment on them.
Because your standing roughly 50cm above the water line, the motion is much less than on a flybridge/sporttop, so that's benefit and...

Re: Anyone sail a Bene Excess cat?

It depends how many people you expect to have on board. For 2 persons there's more than enough storage for liveaboards. We just loaded up our Excess 11 with everything we need for a full year of...
