The crew, Terry Travers and Robin Chamberlin
The 38 foot catamaran "Excess" leaves the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania at Hobart for its one month trip to the Antarctic. The unique design of the beams connecting the hulls and supporting the mast of "Excess" make it a very strong but light construction. Accommodation is in each of the two hulls with the navigation area located in the starboard hull and the galley in the port hull. Sleeping accommodation is in both hulls. Terry Travers, editor of the Australian magazine "Inside Multihulls" and Robin Chamberlin, the designer/builder of "Excess" have travelled many ocean miles together in this yacht.
