Italia 11.98 Fuoriserie

Sailboat specifications

The Italia 11.98 is a 38’2” (11.65m) racer-cruiser sailboat designed by Matteo Polli Yacht Design (Italy). She is built since 2019 by Italia Yachts (Italy). The Fuoriserie version is proposed with simpler and more race-oriented equipment to display a lighter displacement.

The Italia 11.98 is as well listed, on Boat-Specs.com, in Bellissima version (see all the versions compared).

Italia 11.98's performances

Upwind sail area to displacement iThe ratio sail area to displacement is obtained by dividing the sail area by the boat's displaced volume to the power two-thirds. The ratio sail area to displacement can be used to compare the relative sail plan of different sailboats no matter what their size. Upwind: under 18 the ratio indicates a cruise oriented sailboat with limited performances especially in light wind, while over 25 it indicates a fast sailboat.: 297 ft²/T27.56 m²/T
Downwind sail area to displacement iThe ratio sail area to displacement is obtained by dividing the sail area by the boat's displaced volume to the power two-thirds. The ratio sail area to displacement can be used to compare the relative sail plan of different sailboats no matter what their size.: 510 ft²/T47.41 m²/T
Ballast ratio iThe Ballast ratio is an indicator of stability; it is obtained by dividing the boat's displacement by the mass of the ballast. Since the stability depends also of the hull shapes and the position of the center of gravity, only the boats with similar ballast arrangements and hull shapes should be compared. The higher the ballast ratio is, the greater is the stability.: 32 %
