EXCESS RENDEZVOUS TAHITI, A DEEP CONNECTION TO THE NATURAL WORLD

images © Eric Benacek
On November 15th, 2025, our dealer in French Polynesia Sail Tahiti organized an inspiring and fun-filled Excess Rendezvous Tahiti event, bringing together owners, sailors, partners, and friends for an unforgettable celebration of sailing culture in Polynesia. With four Excess catamarans two Excess 11s and two Excess 14s, the day blended modern performance with the richness of traditional navigation.

One of the highlights of the event was the introduction to Polynesian traditional navigation to the participants, featuring star-guided seamanship and hands-on practice in a Holopuni Vaa (Sailing canoes built in Tahiti). This is a non-instrumental seafaring method which relies on deep knowledge of the natural world to sail across the ocean, showcasing the outdoor survival wisdom of the Polynesians. This corresponds to the Excess spirit: creating high-performance and comfortable vessels to help modern-day sailors build deep connection to the natural world and experience the surrounding elements.

After the precious learning session, it was time to get serious on the watera friendly race took place at Matavai Bay followed by an awards ceremony and cocktail reception for all crews upon their return to Marina de Papeete.


The success of this event is a testament to Sail Tahiti's dedicated and sincere services to our customers in French Polynesia. We are grateful for their exceptional role in creating this memorable EXCESS experienceone built on community, discovery, and the shared joy of the ocean.

It has earned the Multihull of the Year 2025 award in the IMS Premiere category at the International Multihull Show, and has been nominated for the prestigious European Yacht of the Year 2026. The model has also received two significant award nominations in North America.

During the Paris Nautic Show, the Excess 13 has been voted Sailboat of the Year 2025 in the multihull category announced by Voile Magazine.

This award recognizes the exceptional agility of the Excess 13 on the water and the incomparable pleasure you get at the helm. The jury also praised the meticulous work carried out on this catamaran, with particular attention paid to ergonomics, design, and high level of finish.

This is a wonderful reward that highlights the work of all our teams involved in this project.
