IY 20.98

The New Mini Maxi by Italia Yachts

The IY 20.98 is the new Mini Maxi with which Italia Yachts expands its range upward. A technologically advanced and modern yacht with a strong identity, it fits seamlessly into the brand's philosophy. The hull, consistent with the rest of the fleet, combines elegant proportions with outstanding sailing performance.

Designed for demanding and experienced owners, the IY 20.98 is built not only for those who want to sail the world without limits, but also for those who seek top-level competitiveness, with a fast and intuitive setup.

Comfort and Functionality

The deck layout takes inspiration from maxi yachts, featuring three distinct cockpit zones, wide, unobstructed side decks, and ample areas for relaxation. The winches for headsails and the mainsail are optimally sized to minimize effort and are pre-configured for electric operation.

Based on meticulous ergonomic research, the interiors blend style and innovation to offer elegant and lightweight spaces, with great attention to weight distribution.

Custom layouts are available, including a kitchen-living area inspired by larger yachts, and a dedicated crew zone aft.

Construction and Details

The hull and deck are built using resin infusion over a sandwich structure with multi-axial fiberglass skins, impregnated with vinylester resin. This ensures both lightness and excellent structural rigidity.

Designed from the outset as the best possible compromise between performance, onboard comfort, and safety. Conceived to handle generous displacement without sacrificing seaworthiness, it finds its balance in fast offshore cruising. Special care has been taken to limit draft without compromising righting moment.

Standard across all versions to allow easy rigging of any downwind sail. Available in various lengths.

Capable of delivering high performance without requiring constant fine-tuning of sails and trim settings.

Special attention has been given to ensuring it is fully walkable in complete safety, even in rough sea conditions. The result is an exceptionally clean layout, free of steps and obstacles, with high-traction surface.

Spacious, unobstructed for crew movement, and well-protected for safe and relaxed sailing, even with a reduced crew.
