Description
A Fully Commissioned World-Cruising Catamaran – Sail Away Today
Full 25 minute walkthrough video available
The sailing catamaran MULAN represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern performance catamaran that has already completed the hard work most owners spend years undertaking. Delivered new in October 2024, MULAN is nearing completion of a full circumnavigation with the World ARC, due to conclude in April 2026. By that point she will have logged approximately 32,000 nautical miles, including extended blue-water passages across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Unlike lightly used production yachts or “almost ready” blue-water candidates, MULAN has been fully commissioned, refined and proven at sea. All initial commissioning issues, optimisation tasks and real-world adjustments have already been identified and resolved through continuous offshore operation. As a result, she is today in better condition than ex-works, benefiting from practical improvements that only emerge through long-distance sailing.
Designed as a true fast offshore catamaran, the Excess 14 Pulse Line combines impressive sailing performance with exceptional volume and liveability. MULAN has repeatedly demonstrated her capability, winning several stages of the World ARC and excelling on demanding legs, including the Pacific crossing from the Galápagos Islands to Nuku Hiva.
She is offered fully equipped for immediate continuation of world cruising, with an extensive inventory that includes advanced energy autonomy, complete offshore safety equipment, high-performance sail wardrobe, redundancy systems, spare parts, tools and an exceptional array of leisure equipment. The yacht has been operated to ARC and offshore racing standards throughout.
For buyers who value time, reliability and stress reduction over marginal cost savings, MULAN eliminates the need for months — or years — of preparation. There is no requirement to manage suppliers, plan refits or correct teething issues. Simply step aboard and sail.
Worldwide delivery can be arranged, and the current skipper is available to accompany new owners for handover passages or extended familiarisation if required.
MULAN is not a project. She is the finished result.
