Thoroughbred Yacht Sales has launched the 2023 Italia Yachts 12.98, a 43-foot sailing yacht that stands at the intersection of racing efficiency and cruising luxury. This vessel is a testament to Italian craftsmanship, with a design that prioritizes both aesthetics and functionality. The collaboration with Italian design firm Abore & Partners has resulted in an interior that boasts a modern look, featuring unique design touches such as mirrored film on settee fronts to amplify natural light and a washable linen-effect bulkhead for improved visibility during night sailing.
Designed with the U.S. sailor in mind, the Italia Yachts 12.98 includes a galley that is both practical and spacious, equipped with top- and front-loading refrigerators, extensive countertop space, and numerous storage solutions. The yacht's cabins, located at the forward and aft, offer flexible storage options, enhancing the comfort and utility for long-distance voyages. Prospective owners have the option to select between two configurations: a cruising version that features an en-suite head in the forward cabin, and a racing model that foregoes the head to minimize weight for optimal performance. Both configurations come with a generously sized aft head that includes a separate shower stall.
The introduction of the Italia Yachts 12.98 marks a notable evolution in sailing yacht design, providing a versatile solution that adeptly serves both competitive racing and relaxed cruising. Its sophisticated engineering and stylish design appeal to sailors looking for a yacht that excels in performance without sacrificing comfort.
