Deck layout
The deck layout is extremely clean and designed to ensure a great ergonomy during use in racing. The liferaft locker is advanced to the bow for a better weight distribution. The deck and the coachroof are designed to minimize wind resistance whilst ensuring a safe and easy moving around out of the cockpit.
The importance of obtaining fair lines on deck has been the guiding lines for the design team who have designed a functional, ergonomically efficient and safe deck suitable for both race crews and family sailors.
The front cabin is equipped with a double hatch with 180° opening and there is the option to add further portlights in the coachroof. A removable cockpit table is available as optional. The open cockpit can be completed by a folding and removable bathing platform. There is also the possibility to provide a throug deck furler and an integrated bowsprit.
Construction and appendages
The constructive parameters of Italia 11.98 are the same of each Italia Yachts model, in order to guarantee the maximum lightness, stiffness, safety and durability. Italia 11.98 is proposed in just one version with no difference in terms of construction, water lines or materials, either to be arranged in racing edition or in bellissima edition.
A no-compromise cruising
The interior layout provides three cabins equipped with standard nautical beds, cabinets and enough storage spaces for a family cruise. There are also a large saloon, a spacious starboard headroom with toilet and sink, and a port headroom with shower and a locker for wet suit. In the bellissima configuration, it is also possible to change the standard chart table with a smaller one, obtaining more space for a convenient storage cabinet and also for a second refrigerator. The lockers can be provided in fabric to reduce weight or in a rigid shell.
