📸 SAIL EXPO 2026 // WHAT A SHOW!

Blue skies, plenty of yachties and wonderful boats! The Excess 13 attracted huge interest, with many discovering the brand for the first time.

Alex represented WWBB as Queensland dealer, alongside Rohan from , our QLD importer, and Lee and Andy from NSW dealers .

The spacious owner’s cabin was a standout, but it was out on the water where the Excess 13 really shone.

Sailing at almost 10 knots at 40° apparent wind angle, all while carrying air conditioning, generator, full water and fuel tanks, is pretty impressive. Add a galley that stays level under sail, and it’s easy to see why monohull couples are considering the switch!

A big thanks to everyone who came aboard. We’ll definitely be back in 2027!

CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2026 🇫🇷 What a week! 🌴

One of the world’s biggest on-water boat shows, Cannes is where you see the latest models almost a year before they reach Australia.

We explored new models, met with Australian clients, caught up with friends across the industry, and got a first look at what’s coming next.

Highlights:
⛵ Excess 14 with new layout
🚤 Princess X90 Jenny X
⛵ Dragonfly 40 Trimaran
🚤 Fjord 440 Open World Premiere

And of course, the annual Excess Catamarans party was a highlight. A team full of energy, enthusiasm and a genuine passion for sailing.

There’s so much innovation happening, it’s hard not to come away from Cannes feeling excited about the future of the industry.

Until next year! 🇫🇷
