Thoroughbred Yacht Sales is presenting the 2023 Italia Yachts 12.98, a 43-foot sailing yacht that exemplifies sophisticated maritime engineering. The vessel uniquely bridges the gap between competitive racing and leisurely cruising, offering sailors a versatile maritime solution.
The yacht's design reflects meticulous Italian craftsmanship, with input from design firm Abore & Partners creating an interior that maximizes both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency. Notable features include mirrored film on settee fronts to enhance natural light reflection and a washable linen-effect bulkhead with contrasting black edging for improved evening visibility.
Specifically tailored for U.S. market preferences, the yacht's galley provides comprehensive storage options and flexible refrigeration configurations. The interior layout offers strategic storage solutions across forward and aft cabins, demonstrating thoughtful spatial design that accommodates extended voyages.
Two distinct configurations distinguish the yacht's adaptability: a cruising version with an en-suite head in the forward cabin, and a racing model optimized for competitive performance by leaving that area open. This flexibility allows sailors to select a version aligned with their specific maritime objectives.
The Italia Yachts 12.98 represents more than a vessel; it embodies a nuanced approach to maritime design that recognizes the evolving demands of contemporary sailors who seek both performance and comfort. By integrating racing capabilities with cruising amenities, the yacht offers a compelling option for sailors who refuse to compromise between speed and livability.
