NEW ITALIA YACHTS 11.98 SPORT LINE BELLISSIMA  

Italia 11.98 Sport Line Bellissima: A true multi-purpose Sailing Yacht.

This is an adaptable yacht, designed to be used for cruising and racing. Sporty, highly performing and easy at the helm with a clean design that is perfect for racing whilst maintaining a good interior volume for longer cruises. The yacht will inspire an ambitious pro sailor and bring immense pleasure to her owner. The 11.98 follows in the footsteps of the Italia 9.98, a multi-winner in all regatta fields throughout the world and winner of two ORC World Championships in 2015 and 2016.

The internal layout is developed by the Design Team Italia Yachts coordinated by the designer Matteo Polli, in collaboration with KMD by Kristian Macchiut and Mirko Arbore & Partners. The layout provides three cabins equipped with standard nautical beds, cabinets and enough storage space for a family cruise. There is also a large saloon, a spacious starboard head with toilet and sink, and a port head with shower and locker for wet weather gear. In the Cruise configuration it is also possible to modify the standard chart table with a smaller one, obtaining more space for a convenient storage cabinet and also for a second refrigerator.

The Italia 11.98 has a generous sail plan with non-overlapping foresails and a big aspect ratio. The mainsail has a moderate square head with a considerable roach - eliminating the requirement for a split backstay or runners. The spinnaker fitting on deck is standard. A bowsprit can be fitted for the asymmetrical sails. The deck layout is extremely clean and designed to ensure greater ergonomics 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 safe and easy movement around the cockpit.

Price includes luxury upholstery with leather finishes, high cabinets in interior, twin wheels, bowsprit, fridge, oven, removable additional cockpit seats and cockpit table, folding bathing platform, dodger, B&G electronics and 4 gauges, VHF, Stereo and delivered to Sydney.
