2022 Italia Yachts 11.98

The Italia Yachts 11.98 is a 39-foot racing-cruiser built from composite materials with a modern, clean-lined hull design. Powered by a 30 hp Volvo diesel engine, the boat combines performance with everyday usability. The hull and deck are sandwich-constructed using vinylester resin with unidirectional and biaxial fibres, PVC foam of varying densities, and a structurally reinforced hull frame with unidirectional carbon reinforcement. The balanced sail plan and responsive helm make it manageable in short-handed conditions while delivering competitive performance in racing programmes.

The boat accommodates three cabins and one head, with thoughtfully planned interior spaces that balance the demands of both racing and cruising. Storage and functionality are well-integrated throughout the living areas. Launch year was 2023, and the boat has been actively maintained by its first owner and a dedicated service provider. The rigging and sail inventory reflect recent upgrades, including a Code Zero from 2023, a latticed J1 foresail on the inner forestay, and a 2023 A2 gennaker. Equipment includes an ORC keel, a two-blade folding propeller, a winter cover extending from mast step to stern, and a sun awning.
