Italia Yachts 15.98

Designed to cover long distances

‘Blue Water’ well describes italia 15.98, created to cover long distances. In the design of Italia 15.98 the tradition of the great ocean going fast cruisers is reborn and updated to the latest hydrodynamics. “True Bluewater” best describes Italia 15.98, conceived to cruise long distances,
combining performance, comfort and timeless style, with the guarantee of safe arrival even under the harshest conditions. Italia 15.98 is a complete all-round boat with the performance you would
expect from a fast cruiser. Seagoing boat behaviour, yet classic and original lines. The result is a sailboat in which to enjoy long cruises enjoying all that a sailing cruiser can offer.

That special italian sailing style
A unique product for the demanding and knowledgeable sailor to enjoy day after day. The design and build of every model involves the skills of the whole team – each one an experienced sailor. Every team member contributes to the design bringing their own experience and skill to bear. This brings product development to an unmatched level of completeness resulting in an unrivalled harmony of hull design and sail plan. The stern section is drawn to limit the wetted area, this makes for an easy motion forward of the mast counteracting the usual tendency of the bow to dig deep into waves. Thus, creating a smooth and comfortable ride. The adoption of particularly well-balanced sail plan and high-efficiency keel and rudder together with a lead torpedo bulb completes the clever design.
Innovation respecting tradition
In recent years, many of the projects appeared on the market have been characterized by several design concepts, looking to fashion aesthetic solutions that often limit or eliminate the qualities needed for long and safe sailing experiences. Taking up the tradition of some of the most famous Italian manufacturers who have written the history of yachting, as Sangermani, Costaguta, D’Este, the Italia Yachts boats join the style and Made in Italy taste to the quality and characteristics of the
boats for real sailing. Everything on board of the Italia Yachts is designed and made for a complete and prolonged life on board.

Structure and bulkheads
In the central part of the boat the structure consists of a grid of galvanized steel stringers and floors, to ensure a high resistance to concentrated loads and allow a greater capacity of the fuel and water tanks, all seats in the lower and central zone. On this structure, insist loads of keel, mast and chainplates. In other areas the structure continues with stringers and floors made of fiberglass, reinforced with unidirectional carbon tops, integrated into the steel grid with large areas of overlap. All bulkheads are laminated to hull and deck. There is a watertight bulkhead between the anchor
and the sail locker/crew cabin.
CONSTRUCTION
The hull and deck are built in sandwich with biaxial and unidirectional fiberglass and vinylester resin. The PVC core has different densities. Carbon reinforcements are placed in high load areas. The central part of the hull is full laminated, to improve the resistance to concentrated loads. The main reinforcement grid is made of galvanized high strength steel and it supports loads of keel, shrouds and mast, making extremely secure the integrity of the entire craft. Longitudinal and trasversal carbon reinforcements are laminated to the hull. All the bulkheads, where possible, are
laminated to hull and deck, ensuring to Italia 15.98 to be a very stiff boat.

Various layouts are available, including large aft owner’s cabin versions. Two to five cabin layouts are available. A bow crew cabin option is offered complete with sink and wc. The styling ensures optimum brightness while maintaining a warm and cosy atmosphere. The saloon, offered in two different versions, is bright and airy thanks to the many portlights, of which seven are openable. On the port side of the main cabin, the dining table and sofa seating for eight can be served by further seats on the opposite side. There are various alternatives on the starboard side: when the galley is at stern, organized on both sides along the passage leading to the cabin, there is another sofa that ends at the bow with the chart table. Alternatively, in this area you can opt for a large galley with a central work area.
DECK CONCEPT
The deck layout remind the maxy yachts’ one. This allows to have wide areas free from equipment: a separate cockpit area, side decks and large areas for sunbathing. All the equipment is of the highest quality, starting from the oversized winches for jib and mainsail trim. All winches can be electric powered. On the coachroof there are tracks for the jib sheets inclusive of travellers, and 14 clutches and relative deck organizers are installed on the deck plan. All pushpits and stanchions are made in
stainless steel and side gates are installed on both sides of the boat.

COCKPIT LAYOUT
The large teak cockpit is divided into three areas. The front part is dedicated to the guests, and completely free from equipment. The benches, 2.30 meters long and 58 cm wide, also perfect for sunbathing, are served by a large table with folding wings, protected by a sprayhood, supplied as standard. Under the benches there are two deep lockers for equipment. In line with the wheels, the cockpit floor is lowered; the manouvering area is concentrated close to the wheels, with enough space for the crew but with ergonomics that allows the helmsman to control the whole boat using the four winches. Behind the wheels a flat and clear surface can be fully allocated to sunbathing
area, in direct connection with the sea. Under the cockpit floor there is a large storage compartment accessible by three lockers to store equipment and facilities, while on one side there is a liferaft locker.
DECK AND COACHROOF DESIGN
The coachroof design well represents the signature of the yard. The peculiar portholes design is further emphasized by the presence of different levels that give movement to the whole profile. The grid on the coaming provides a touch of exclusivity, hiding other portholes. The coachroof is conceived to allow the storage of the sprayhood and of all the lines, which run recessed up to the winches. Coachroof central area is perfect for sunbathing; on each side there are the jib rails, with adjustments to the cockpit, which allow optimal upwind angles. The numerous hatches are all flush deck. The sidewalk is free from equipment and allows the passage towards the bow safely and comfortably. The anchoring system provides a windlass 1.500 W for an anchor housed on a steel bow roller. The slightly angled bow benefits the anchoring operation. It can be supplied a bowsprit as well as a pivoting system that allow to hide the whole anchor arm. The through deck furler and foldable moorings cleats emphasize the tidiness of the whole area.
