Italia 12.98 is a brand new project that was born with a tapered and fast hull for fun cruising and racing. This fast cruising sailboat is the result of synergistic work between modern design and hydrodynamic research and simulations with data analysis entrusted to a pool of professionals. In a few words: a hull with clean and elusive lines, to always guarantee the best passage on the wave, safe and powerful. This style, this character, it is the great strength of the Italia, and this from the beginning. The reasonable freeboard and the very slender deckhouse underlined by shady lids covering the portholes, the dynamism of the parallelogram hull portholes, the neoclassical touch brought by the slightly inverted transom, everything contributes to provoke this immediate crush, to arouse desire.
