About the ITALIA 14.98
LOA above includes cruising bowsprit. Hull length: 14.55m / 47.74 ft
The Italia 14.98 is a modern 50.75 ft fractional sloop designed by Maurizio Cossutti Yacht Design and built by Italia Yachts, with production records indicating a start year of 2020. As a relatively new entry in the market, the vessel boasts a displacement of 22002.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 21.9, suggesting a balance between performance and sea-keeping comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for performance-oriented coastal cruisers and short-to-medium range offshore passages who prioritize modern sailing dynamics and up-to-date electronics. The fractional rig and high sail area/displacement ratio appeal to sailors seeking responsive handling without sacrificing too much comfort.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.03 and a displacement of 22002.0 lb, the Italia 14.98 demonstrates solid stability characteristics for offshore passages, though its relatively light displacement for its length suggests it is best suited for protected waters or moderate offshore conditions rather than extreme heavy-weather voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 48 and the Beneteau First 47.7, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, beamy hull forms, and a focus on performance cruising in the 45-50 ft range. These models also target owners who value modern deck layouts and efficient sail plans.
