IY 11.98 / 11.98 m / Italy Yachts
total audience 24,211
If there is one thing even more difficult than making a successful boat, it is repeating yourself with the next one. Italia Yachts with the new version of the 11.98 has taken the great success it had with the 998 to a very different size, making a more complete boat, however.
A dominatrix of ORC race courses, she can also be used for summer cruising if needed, if we love to sail all the time. Definitive. www.italiayachtsinternational.com
J/36 / 10.99 m / J/Boats
total audience 45,489
An 11-meter for those who really like to sail.
A natural heir to the J/112E, a boat that has won success and acclaim since 2016 by winning numerous world and European titles in ORC and IRC classes, the new J/36 features a design with a vaguely classic appeal and cutting-edge technical solutions, bidding to be one of the most interesting boats of the moment. For connoisseurs. www.jboats.com
JP 40 / 12.21 m / Jeppesen & Pons
total audience 28,677
From the genius of Niels Jeppesen (formerly X-Yachts) the JP 40: T-keel, sporty sail plan, double rudder and six layout winches, rail for a low-overlap jib, vacuum sandwich hull. Clear idea: a boat with top performance intentions.
The interior layout includes two aft double cabins and a forward master cabin, but various options are provided, including two cabins. Harmonica. www.jeppesen-pons.com
Sailboats. KiSS 25 / 9.42 m / Kiss Yachting
total audience 26,888
The project originated in Copenhagen but took shape in Italy through a partnership with Paolo Semeraro’s Neo Yachts & Composites.
The KiSS is a 25-foot-long one-design racing boat made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be an ultimate racing weapon. The concept is from the young Danish shipyard KISS Yachting and will be officially unveiled in 2026. Chilling. www.kiss-yachting.com
Lagoon 38 / 11.38 m / Lagoon Catamarans
total audience 32,003
Space, the final frontier. No we are not talking about a new Star Trek series but rather the brand new Lagoon 38, the latest addition to the French shipyard’s line of catamarans, which traces the innovations introduced on Lagoon 43.
The most noticeable changes are a new hull shape, wider at the stern, and the advancement of the mast toward the bow. Lagoon 38 bears the signatures of Patrick Le Quément and naval architecture firm VPLP. Ultracomfortable. www.catamarans-lagoon.com
M60 GL / 18.50 m / Mylius Yachts
total audience 21,780
For decades, the Piacenza-based shipyard Mylius Yachts has fascinated sailing enthusiasts (and others) with cutting-edge models both stylistically and technically. And it continues to innovate.
How, thinking of an owner who loves a sought-after and unique boat, has conceived the new Mylius M60GL, an 18.5-meter bluewater designed for fast cruisers, but who do not disdain racing, designed by Giovanni Ceccarelli, who already also designs some motor models for Mylius. She will be in the water in 2026. Unique. www.mylius.it
Magic Carpet and / 30,48 m / Perch Marine
total audience 43,990
Magic Carpet is an iconic name in the sailing world, telling the story of legendary and unmistakable boats, belonging to British shipowner Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones.
Another chapter has begun, the new Magic Carpet 100, 30 meters in length, built by Italian Persico Marine and designed by Guillaume Verdier, a wizard of ocean boats, was launched in La Spezia. A boat that has already distinguished itself in early outings in classic offshore regattas such as the Loro Piana Giraglia where it came close to the line of honor despite light wind conditions that were not too favorable. For a few, very few. www.persicomarine.com
Sailboats. Maxus 31/ 8.99 m / Northman
total audience 65,403
Maxus 31, from the Polish shipyard Northman, has a clearly cruising setup, with finishes and details not expected from a boat of this size and low price (starting at 105,900 euros).
The cockpit is well protected by both the handguards, which also serve as a backrest for the benches, and the folding stern, which converts to a convenient beach if needed. The helm is wheel steering, unique given the size of the hull with a maximum beam of 2.99 meters. Smart. www.barcandoyachts.com
Meraki 40 / 13.40 m / Riolfi & Pighi Y. D.
total audience 34,872
It is in Negrar di Valpolicella (VR) the headquarters of Riolfi & Pighi, a shipyard that has in production the first example of the Meraki 40, a boat designed for sailing by those who know how to sail
The hull, made of aluminum, has hull lines made to run fast. The yard’s idea is to give its owners a boat that is safe in the middle of the sea and can handle any sea state. Both in the cockpit and below deck, the solutions are in the name of practicality, the result of the experience of great sailors. Indestructible. www.rpsailingyacht.com
