Crossing the Atlantic on the Excess 11 catamaran ! Episode 3 of our delivery to Tahiti

In this video of our Atlantic crossing I've tried to show how we trim our sails, how we manoeuver, what small improvements we've made to the Excess set up. It's by no means the absolute truth, just a work in progress after 4000 miles on the Excess 11. Feel free to comment, ask questions, make suggestions.

I remain astonished that there isn't a secondary safety line behind the helm seats. it's not a case of if they will fail and dump the helmsperson into the sea - it's just when.

[@SAILTAHITI]

hello Tony yes you're right always better to have more safety when sailing offshore. There are 2 standard safety lines behind the helmseats and I always add a 3rd one higher up, going from the solar panel stand to the side of the boat

Hi,
Looks like a great trip, very impressed with the boat, got any stats?, mileage covered, average speed etc?. Cheers DB

hi DB, our average speed was between 7 and 8 knots of the Atlantic. A bit faster in the Pacific
