About the LINJETT 40
Designed by Mats Gustafsson and built by Rosättra Boatyard, the Linjett 40 is a rare fractional sloop with only 49 hulls constructed between 2002 and 2012. Its limited production run and specific Scandinavian pedigree make it a distinctive, low-volume alternative to more common mass-produced cruisers of the same era.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and light offshore sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-performance racing metrics. Its fractional rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio appeal to those seeking manageable handling and reliable passage-making capabilities.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 15873.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.95, the Linjett 40 exhibits strong offshore stability and resistance to capsizing, making it well-suited for extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and substantial ballast of 7055.5 lb further support its capability for safe, comfortable ocean cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 41 and the Hallberg-Rassy 41, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on bluewater comfort. These vessels offer similar beam and draft profiles, targeting the same market of serious cruisers seeking robust construction.
