Linjett 36 — Sweden’s 36ft blend of performance and comfort

With an LOA of 11m (36’1”), a beam of 3.66m and a displacement of 6,800 kg, the Linjett 36 slots into most standard European marina berths and slips without special reservation requirements, easing marina logistics, transport permits and seasonal storage planning. Its 1.95m draught (optional 1.8m) is a key factor for owners who cruise shallow gulfs and archipelagos—the difference of 0.15m can determine whether a yacht clears shallow channels or needs tidal planning and a local pilot.

Design and build: practical moves for owners and charter operators

The hull is vacuum-infused vinylester with an internal vacuum-infused grid of stringers, delivering stiffness while keeping weight down. Linjett’s in-house design team trimmed prototype weight by about 250 kg between hull #1 and hull #2; that saved mass was reallocated to the keel to raise the ballast ratio, improving pointing ability and stability under sail—two attractive selling points for private owners and charter fleets alike.

Compared to the Linjett 34, the 36 carries the coachroof further forward and has slightly fuller bow sections above the waterline, trading a slighter increase in interior volume for continued fine waterlines. That balance keeps the yacht sprightly for club racing while still delivering an appealing layout for cruising and charter use.

Cockpit layout and handling

The transom includes a narrow bathing platform with a deep swim ladder and a starboard-set ladder—simple features that make life easier for day-charter guests and family sailing. Twin wheels and well-integrated rope bins by the helm provide efficient sail handling; two Andersen 46 winches, one powered per side, and a powered genoa furling system mean short-handed crews or charter captains can manage sails without breaking a sweat.

• Mainsheet and traveller on coachroof — clears the cockpit for socialising
• Large stern locker with interior access via the heads — ideal for liferaft or bulky charter equipment
• Optional carbon mast and self-tacking jib — choices that let owners tune for performance or ease

Deck work and sailplan

Shrouds are set inboard, and the genoa is a 107% overlapping sail with cars on the coachroof for a good sheeting angle. The Linjett 36 is the company’s first with a fixed sprit, housing the anchor roller and making flying asymmetric sails like a Code 0 or gennaker more straightforward—useful for charter operators who want quick sail changes during short passages between destinations.

Down below: volume, joinery and crew comfort

Interior finish choices include mahogany or light oak. The attention to joinery and soft-closing drawers signals a high-end feel more commonly associated with larger yachts, which benefits charter clients used to polished interiors. The galley is L-shaped with a double sink and a substantial fridge; an optional second fridge/freezer under the chart table is available for longer cruises or small charter operations.

Accommodation layout highlights

• Forward owner’s double with sliding door and generous storage
• Large aft double berth to port—wider than typical 36ft berths
• Palatial heads to starboard with separate shower stall and internal access to cockpit storage
• Salon convertible to a pilot berth for passage-making flexibility

Performance in real-world conditions

On a test sail in the Stockholm archipelago with 4–8 kt variable winds, the Linjett 36 performed impressively: averaging close to wind speed upwind (about 5.8 kt) and surpassing 6 kt on runs with a gennaker and Code 0. The helm is light and responsive, which makes it enjoyable for owners who like to stay hands-on; yet the powered sail systems make short-handed or charter operations pleasantly effortless.

Operational notes for charter fleets and private owners

For charter operators, the Linjett 36’s combination of accessible systems, comfortable cockpit for six and sizeable storage lockers reduces turn-around time between bookings. For private owners, the build quality and bright interior invite longer cruises—whether island-hopping in a gulf or taking on cross-sea passages.

In short, the Linjett 36 is a tidy package: modern enough to lure new buyers and conservative enough to reassure traditionalists. It’s a yacht that does both club racing and coastal cruising well, and its layout and systems make it equally attractive for boutique charter operators seeking a premium 36ft offering.

Summary: The Linjett 36 blends thoughtful logistics-friendly dimensions, robust vacuum-infused construction, responsive sailing characteristics and high-quality joinery into a polished 36ft cruiser. Whether you’re considering yacht purchase, chartering or adding a performance cruiser to a rental fleet, the Linjett 36 scores highly across comfort, performance and practicality—perfect for sailing across inland lakes or open ocean legs, with easy marina berthing, appealing cabins for guests and the kind of finish that makes captains and charterers smile.
