Cruising-racing sailboat 12.98

3-cabinwith bowsprittwin steering wheels

Italia Yachts 12.98 is a completely new project which is born with a tapered and fast hull to be fun while cruising and racing. This project is the result of the synergic work between the modern design and hydrodynamic research and simulations with data analysis entrusted to a pool of professionals. In few words: a hull with sleek and elusive lines, to always guarantee the best passage on the wave, safe and powerful. The deck layout is ergonomic and functional, and the hull lines of IY 12.98 contemplate a proper balance between comfort and performance, borrowing the fluid concepts developed for the IY 9.98 Fuoriserie to the distribution of volumes, for the interior in perfect cruising style. The fore and aft rake are more obvious than the other models of the yard. The result is a smaller wetted surface area for the benefit of performance in light wind conditions. Aft waterlines sections allow a variable dynamic length, short in light wind, longer with increasing speed.The aspects related to navigation comfort are very cared, thanks to a careful study on the longitudinal trim and symmetrical volumes while heeled, as well as in the concentration of the weights as much as possible to limit the pitching Fuoriserie e Bellissima Fuoriserie is the lighter, more race-oriented variant. The number and positioning of the winches is designed to be functional for racing and the deck equipment layout can be customized according to the crew's preference. In both versions there is no compromise in terms of on-board life. The deck plan of Bellissima includes a teak deck and a layout optimized for cruising.
