Italia 10.98 exterior spaces invite crew to enjoy outdoor life, sailing and at anchor. Two comfortable and large benches make up the all teack cockpit, one of the largest for its size.
The deck is free from running rigging and thanks to the flush-deck hatches and portholes, it is possible to stretch out in the sun almost everywhere. Under the cockpit and stern benches are four large lockers in addition to the dedicated liferaft locker. The open cockpit is completed at the stern by a sunny, teak-covered bathing platform and swim ladder.
The lightness of the boat and the powerful water lines will give you a fast sail in the lightest of airs. In more demanding conditions, excellent course holding characteristics and design rigidity together with the moderate sail plan gives you the superb, safe handling of the Italia 10.98.
With a displacement of just 4.800 kg, Italia 10.98 limits its weight to the typical values of racing boats. This ambitious achievement is the result of a careful optimization of each part of the boat structure. Hull and deck are laminated in sandwich at a controlled temperature, with differentiated density PVC cores covered with vinylester resins. The bottom frame with carbon fibre reinforcements is laminated on a female mould and then glued and laminated to the hull bottom.
