DRAFT
The project of this modern Racer / Cruiser
was developed with the aim of combining
exciting sailing performances with the possibility of
short cruises. The
hull, fin and rudder lines are the result of numerous experiences in the
ship optimization field of
careers, but also from sophisticated studies carried out in
collaboration with specialists in
computational fluid dynamics. The design of the
platform is the result of research in terms of
ergonomics in various uses, design and
aerodynamics. Internal arrangements are the
result of the work of young architects who
have introduced modern design and
minimal while maintaining marine qualities
it must have inside a boat. He
Italia 9.98 project was carried out
conformity with EC regulations (cat. A /
unlimited browsing) to
recreation boats .

CONSTRUCTION The
hull and deck are made of sandwich with
PVC cores with variable density according to
the areas. The skins are made of reinforcements of
Biaxial and unidirectional E glass impregnated with
vinyl ester resin. In the
fixing the bulb, the base of the shaft,
the pitch of the rudder shaft and the foot of the
propeller, the PVC core is replaced by a
monolithic lamination to improve the
resistance to concentrated efforts and avoid
delamination phenomena. The structural spider
internal is made in a female mold with
unidirectional carbon and fiber
biaxial glass at +/- 45 °, it is completely wrapped in the
helmet creating a unique structure that transports
tree loads, fin and covers. All the
bulkheads are made of 15mm marine plywood
thick and are scarves tied to the helmet,
the internal structure and the cover. The hull and deck
are finished in gelcoat, the cover and the areas
passable are treated with non-slip
derived from mold.
END
The fin has a "T" configuration with blade
and lead melting torpedo with 3%
antimony. The geometry and the profiles of the wings are
have been designed and optimized with the help of
external consulting and advanced software
currently in use by the consortia of the
America 's Cup. This allowed to obtain
a very efficient wing despite a
limited draft.
Rudder
The rudder blade is laminated with
biaxial / unidirectional fabrics and PVC core in
female mold. Rudder shaft with section

obstacles on the platform. Also,
two large windows of
Plexiglas are integrated into the side cover, ensuring remarkable
interior shine combined with a
modern and streamlined cover. As an option, it is
possible to add two portholes in the windows
sides in correspondence with the kitchen and the correspondence.

CONSTRUCTION
Construction notes
The hull and deck are constructed in sandwich cores with PVC variable density depending on the area. The skins are made of reinforcements in biaxial and unidirectional E-glass impregnated with vinylester resin. In correspondence of the attack of the bulb, of the base of the mast, the passage of the rudder shaft and foot of the propeller, the PVC core is replaced by a monolithic lamination to improve the resistance to concentrated efforts and to avoid phenomena of delamination. The internal structural frame, laminated on female mold with unidirectional carbon fiber and biaxial glass + - 45 °, includes reinforcement of the bottom hull and some parts of the interior furniture, creating a single structure that carries the load of the mast, the keel and shrouds. All bulkheads are marine plywood 15mm thick and are gusseted to the hull, the internal structure and the deck. Hull and deck are finished in gelcoat, the bridge and the functional areas are treated with anti-slip made from the mold. KEEL The keel has a “T” configuration with the blade and torpedo in fusion of lead with 3% antimony. The geometry and airfoils have been designed and optimized with the help of external consultants and advanced software currently in use by the consortia of the America’s Cup. This has allowed to obtain a very efficient wing despite of a content draft. HELM The rudder blade is laminated with biaxial / unidirectional and PVC core female mold. The rudder circular section biconical, milled with blades of support, is anodized 6082. The stock bearings are self- aligning roller bearings. As an alternative to the bar in fiberglass, you can install a dual steering wheel (diameter 800mm). COCKPIT Large open cockpit aft with two benches to 1.70 m, which will have the aft portion containing and removable (optional) to transform the comfortable cockpit cruising in one perfect for racing. There is comfortable locker for stowage of the raft in the middle of the cockpit. The area under the cockpit behind the mainsheet is usable as storage and you have access to a large door located at the extreme aft. SKYLIGHTS AND DOORS A hatch in the cabin, a portlight in the bathroom and one in the aft cabin are present. The correct positioning and sizing ensure excellent ventilation without obstructing the deck. Also on deck two large side plexiglass windows are integrated, so you get a great interior brightness combined with a modern and sleek design of the deck. Optionally, you can add integrate two portlights on the side windows at the kitchen and correspondence.

FINAL NOTES
Final notes
The design team of Italia Yachts, Italian shipyard producer of luxury Blue Water Cruiser, has developed and realized a sportboat design of the length of 34”, adapting the characteristics to the specific demands of the client. The “Fuoriserie” models detach from the normal Italia Yachts range because the design follows the requests of owners that like to have a customized yacht. This approach allows the yard to explore alternative design spaces. LIKE NEW
