Linjett 36 Test: Ein schwedischer Performance Cruiser, gebaut für Fahrtensegeln und Komfort

Linjett’s Rosättra yard reported a 250kg weight reduction between prototype hull 1 and hull 2, reallocating that mass into the keel to raise the boat’s ballast ratio and improve seakeeping—an adjustment that has direct implications for transport, harbor berthing and trailer-permit logistics for a vessel with an LOA of 11m.

Design and construction: conservative evolution

The Linjett 36 occupies a clear slot between the Linjett 34 and 39, offering slightly greater interior volume while retaining the brand’s hallmarks: attention to finish, traditional hull lines and a bias toward comfortable, capable cruising. The hull is built using vacuum infused vinylester with an infused grid of stringers, and the appendages include an L-shaped lead keel and a single rudder. The bow has been given fuller sections above the waterline to increase interior volume, while waterlines remain fine—this keeps upwind manners conservative but effective.

Deck layout and cockpit

Transom access is practical: a narrow lip acts as the bathing platform with a deep swim ladder to starboard and a stern anchor locker to port. The cockpit accommodates six comfortably and is set up with twin wheels, ample rope bins and two Andersen 46 winches (one electric each side). The mainsheet and traveller sit on the coachroof, which helps keep the cockpit uncluttered for social sailing or short-handed passages.

• Helm ergonomics: raised side decks for comfortable outboard seating and generous handholds
• Lagerung: large lockers, a connected starboard locker with inside access via the heads, and a deep forward locker that houses sails and fenders
• Rig: twin spreader mast with an optional carbonfibre spar and a 107% genoa; self-tacking jib is available

Deck equipment highlights

The Linjett 36 can be operated with a push-button approach to sail handling: powered furling systems for the genoa and Code 0/gennaker are available, making short-handed sailing more approachable. The first hull tested benefited from an efficient winch layout and clean side decks that aid safe movement and reduce crew fatigue.

Interior: thoughtful joinery and bright spaces

Down below, the standard finish in mahogany (light oak optional) showcases curved joinery and silky-smooth surfaces. Light floods the interior through generous portlights and skylights. The galley is an L-shaped unit with a fore-and-aft cooker, double sink and a sizeable fridge integrated into the work surface. A second fridge/freezer can be fitted below the chart table.

The layout favours comfortable long-distance cruising: a U-shaped saloon that converts to a pilot berth, a large heads with separate shower and a wide aft double cabin rather than two smaller aft berths—this choice prioritises comfort over maximizing sleeping numbers on a 36′ hull.

Practical refinements

• Gas-sprung companionway washboard for easy access
• Corian worktops with moulded handholds
• Soft-closing drawers and no-creak lockers throughout

Leistung unter Segel

Sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago with 4–8kts of wind, the Linjett 36 reached roughly 5.8kts close-hauled and exceeded 6kts on gennaker/Code 0 runs—a result that demonstrates a hull tuned to lighter airs while remaining responsive in stronger conditions. The helm was light and well-balanced; with the option to sit on the raised side decks, visibility and comfort at the wheel are excellent. The 40hp Yanmar saildrive propels the yacht to around 7kts under power without fuss.
