What distinguishes the model
- The in-house VPLP hull with chines and mini keels is lively and direct under sail, making good progress even in light airs and with simple trim.
- As a production boat of the Beneteau Group, the Excess 11 offers an extensive dealer and spare-parts network as well as a large supply on the market.
- There is ample stowage space for two people, and engine access via the transoms makes maintenance and the installation of a watermaker easier.
