LINJETT 39

-

The latest model from Sweden’s Rosättra yard, the Linjett 39, is a fast cruiser with a sleek hull shape and powerful rig that is easy to sail shorthande­d. At the same time additional freeboard and a higher coachroof, relative to earlier models, create a greater feeling of light and space.

An unusual aspect among today’s new yachts is the more traditiona­l raked stem. This keeps the bows a little further from danger when mooring or anchoring bows-to a rocky shore in the natural harbours of Sweden’s archipelag­os.

To minimise weight without losing stiffness, constructi­on is of vacuum-infused vinylester, with a Divinycell foam sandwich. Structural frames made of unidirecti­onal fibres reduce the dependency on the main bulkhead, which opens up options for the internal layout. This has allowed for a more open saloon, as well as a larger heads forward.
