The Italia Yachts 12.98 (IY 12.98) represents a pivotal evolution in the shipyard’s "all-round" philosophy, positioning itself as a high-performance cruiser-racer designed to satisfy the competing demands of competitive ORC/IRC regattas and refined family cruising. Originally introduced around 2012 and significantly redesigned in 2021 as the "New IY 12.98," the model leverages advanced hull geometries by Maurizio Cossutti and the Italia Yachts Design Team. This vessel is characterized by its slender beam and low wetted surface area, a departure from the modern trend of ultra-wide transoms and twin rudders. By prioritizing a single, deep rudder and an unusually high aspect ratio (Length/Beam ratio of 3.33), Italia Yachts has produced a yacht that excels in light-to-moderate conditions while maintaining a "dazzling" aesthetic.
