Italia Yachts introduces the new Italia 9.98 Club
Welcome to the new Club 9.98 - an evolution of the Italia 9.98 Fuoriserie, the boat which has dominated the last two racing seasons under the ORC system. (Bach Yachting Racing Team won World Championships & Dutch Championships in 2016 with the 998)
Look closely and you see that something has changed: the double wheel steering system replaces the racing tiller; a sleek, aggressive bowsprit extends the bow; teak in the cockpit softens the design.
The addition of the large bowsprit facilitates the use of off wind sails
that don’t require a spinnaker pole and is the ideal location for additional furling setups such as a code 0.
Inside, yacht cabinets have been added to both the saloon and forecabin increasing storage space and further enhancing the interior. The standard equipment incorporates a refrigerator and 2 burner stove with oven. Moreover, there is an extensive list of options that can enhance the yacht even more.
The Italia 9.98 Club is now in production with the first unit
being launched and delivered early 2017.
