IY 14.98

It's Italia Yachts' latest challenge: creating a boat that is stylish and seaworthy at the same time. Two souls united, without compromising nor aesthetics or quality, aiming higher in terms of design and technique. A boat built for the most demanding sailors, who love racing and appreciate details and finishing at the highest level in both the interiors and the exteriors, in line with the brand's style: simple, functional and versatile for cruising or racing. The IY 14.98 is the first true move forward towards a different customer.

Un piacere senza fine

The IY 14.98 amplifies the Fuoriserie line, aiming high, with a sports boat ideal for grand-prix IRC and ORC. The deck layout includes six winches: two on the deckhouse, two primary trimming ones and two for the mainsail fine tuning in racing configuration. The crew can move easily in the cockpit, thanks to two ample passages, the rod rigging, the spinnaker equipment, the hydraulic pump in the back, the high-efficiency mast profile with an increased boom to optimise its surface downwind and the moulded anti-skid contribute to the strong racing attitude of this new model.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

The IY 14.98's lines show a boat with a racing DNA but ideal for cruising too, with its ample exteriors designed for the family, with a typically Italian flair and style, where aerodynamics blends with Made in Italy full flavour. Hull lines are sleek, with a flat stern incorporating a comfortable one-step swimming platform. All the manoeuvring can be easily done from the cockpit, and the embedded recesses enable the deck to stay clean from lines and equipment.The Bellissima version can be equipped with a jib self-tacking rail, embedded in the deck, making for very fast manoeuvres by the helm.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The interiors of the IY 14.98 derive from an accurate design process, for a sailing boat ideal for those racing sailors who do not disdain spaces and volumes typical of a comfortable yacht for long cruises. In the standard version, the saloon is fitted with a dining table and a U-shaped settee and a second sofa on the opposite side. The galley is on the starboard side, fully equipped and integrates perfectly in the living space. The interior design is clean, modern and linear, with generous spaces that are further amplified by the bright and shiny surfaces. The IY 14.98 follows the brand's evolution, recreating that warm and welcoming homey feeling.
