Excess has staged its first brand-discovery evening in Hong Kong, bringing the Excess 11 to an audience of local sailing enthusiasts. The event was held on 9 July 2026 at Aquahub's facilities in Kwun Tong and was later reported by the builder in August.
Around thirty sailing enthusiasts attended, according to Excess. The company used the event to explain the design approach behind the Excess range and to give visitors direct access to the 11, the most compact catamaran in its current line-up.
The Hong Kong appearance is important because it combines product exposure with dealer and market development in Asia. Rather than announcing a new model, Excess is extending the reach of an established sub-12-metre cruising catamaran into another regional market.
For Leisure Boat Guide, the event provides a useful picture of how production sailing brands are building owner communities beyond their core European markets. It also puts the Excess 11 in front of buyers looking for a cruising multihull that remains within the LBG size limit.
