ITALIA 12.98 VELOCE - SYDNEY TO HOBART PROVEN | HIGH-PERFORMANCE OFFSHORE RACER-CRUISER

If you're chasing a yacht that delivers real offshore performance, Italian design, and the confidence of a boat that has already proven itself under pressure - this Italia 12.98 Veloce is the real deal.

This is not a "weekend cruiser with racing stickers", This is a properly set up Sydney to Hobart-proven performance yacht with a serious sail wardrobe, carbon rig package, and a modern B&G electronics suite.

Fast, stable, and beautifully balanced, the 12.98 Veloce is the type of yacht that makes every sail feel sharp - whether you're pushing hard upwind, sending it downwind, or doing fast coastal miles with total control.

Sydney to Hobart Proven:
Plenty of yachts look fast at the dock, but very few have the real-world credibility of completing one of the toughest and most iconic offshore races on the calendar, proving the platform where it matters most: offshore, in real conditions.

Carbon Rig Package + Offshore Racing Setup

This yacht is exceptionally well equipped, including:
- Axxon Carbon Mast & Boom
- Hydraulic height adjustment
- Rod rigging
- Racing bowsprit (1.6m carbon reinforced glass) with Dyneema bobstay
- Carbon spinnaker pole

Upgraded racing lines and halyards, including:
- 2:1 mainsail halyard
- 2:1 Code Zero halyard
- Mainsail traveller system

This is a proper performance deck package designed for efficient trimming, fast manoeuvres, and reliable offshore use.

Outstanding Sail Inventory (Upwind + Downwind)

The sail wardrobe is extensive and clearly built with offshore and regatta racing in mind.

- Main - 63m²
- J1.5 - 52m²
