This Is Best Performing Catamaran You Can Buy Right Now! Excess Vs Seawind Vs Nautitech

Performance cruising catamarans like the Outremer, Balance, and HH are often seen as the gold standard for fast offshore sailing catamarans - but with price tags running well into the millions of euros, it raises the question… do you really need to spend that much money to get a catamaran that’s genuinely fun to sail?

In this episode, we test three of the top production cruising catamarans designed to deliver a more exciting sailing experience at a more affordable price. We sea trial the Seawind 1370, Excess 13, and Nautitech 44 Open to find out which is best!

We'll be discussing:

✔️ Sailing performance
✔️ Offshore capability
✔️ Comfort at sea
✔️ Helm protection
✔️ Speed in light and strong winds
✔️ Liveaboard practicality

From hitting double-digit boat speeds to testing screechers and gennakers in real sailing conditions, we compare how these cruising catamarans perform and if they're actually any fun to sail!

Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼

After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full time across the Mediterranean.
