EXTERIOR

The exterior, as designed by Patrick Le Quément, embodies great character, sportsmanship, and modernity. Twin aft helm stations offer great visibility and guarantee responsive driving and peace of mind at sea. The helm seat folds away nicely while at anchor to allow easy movement in and out of the stern. The cockpit area features an L-shaped bench on the starboard side and a daybed on port. Seats on the aft beam sit above a large storage locker. Up forward, there are large sun pad areas for enjoyment with good company.

TWIN AFT HELM STATIONS

Whichever way the wind blows, rest assured you’ll be confident and comfortable at the helm. Signature twin aft helm stations create the ideal position to keep an eye on the sea and sails, whether windward or leeward. Unlike high-helm stations, this new layout allows lowering the boom, increases the mainsail’s efficiency, and improves access. Manoeuvring can also be done safely and easier while docking. The twin helms assert the sportiness of the Excess 11 by providing unmatched sensations underway.
