Linjett 36 — a modern Swedish performance cruiser

Linjett’s Rosättra yard north of Stockholm produces the new Linjett 36 using vacuum-infused vinylester hulls and an internal vacuum-infused grid; the prototype saved 250 kg between hull 1 and hull 2, a reduction the yard plans to allocate to added lead ballast in the keel, directly influencing displacement, stability and the logistics of international delivery and commissioning (LOA 11m, displacement 6,800 kg).

Design and construction: conservative Swedish engineering with modern methods

The Linjett 36 sits between the company’s 34 and 39 models and reflects a careful move toward slightly greater interior volume while retaining the brand’s traditional weatherliness. The hull is built in-house with a focus on structural integrity: vacuum-infused vinylester laminated over a vacuum-infused grid of stringers that are bonded into the hull. That production method keeps weight down and improves reproducibility for series builds, important for freight planning, cradle design and cradle-to-cradle yard workflows.

Hull form and ballast

The waterlines are fine with modestly fuller sections above the waterline to add interior volume without compromising the conservative underwater shape. The boat features an L-shaped lead keel and a single rudder. Linjett’s decision to save 250 kg on hull two and reallocate that mass to the keel will raise the ballast ratio, improving righting moment and pointing ability; it also has implications for transport permits and slipway loads when the boat is moved ashore or shipped abroad.

Rig and sailplan

The rig is designed for a mix of cruising and club racing: a twin-spreader mast (carbon option available), inboard shrouds, and a fairly generous sail plan including a 107% overlapping genoa. The standard mainsail is fully battened unless in-mast furling is selected. Systems are routed aft under the coachroof to emerge near the twin helms for efficient sail handling.

Cockpit and deck ergonomics

The deck layout balances traditional Scandinavian practicality with modern conveniences. A compact bathing platform and deep swim ladder sit on the transom; a narrow corridor leads forward to a cockpit capable of seating six comfortably. Twin wheels provide clear sightlines.

Cockpit features

• Deep seat lockers with ample storage and a small lazarette suitable for a liferaft.
• Generous rope bins integrated into helm seats and cavernous starboard locker with internal access via the heads.
• Coachroof-mounted mainsheet and traveller, with genoa cars on the coachroof for clean sheeting angles.
• Two Andersen 46 winches (one powered per side) and powered furlers for genoa and Code 0/gennaker—bringing an element of “push-button” handling to a 36’ yacht.

Down below: joinery, layout and comfort

The interior is finished in mahogany by default (light oak optional) and exhibits meticulous joinery: curved bulkheads, moulded handholds and soft-close drawers that reflect high build standards. Natural light floods below through generous portlights and skylights.

Galley and living spaces

• L-shaped galley with fore-and-aft cooker, double sink and a sizeable fridge; optional second fridge/freezer under the chart table.
• U-shaped saloon seating that converts into a pilot berth and a long starboard sofa with an adaptable chart table.
• Large heads aft to starboard with separate shower stall and internal access to cockpit storage.
• A single, large aft double berth to port rather than twin aft cabins—deliberate space allocation for comfort onboard a 36’ yacht.

Under sail: light-wind agility and helm feel

Sailing tests in the narrow passages of the Stockholm Archipelago showed the boat handling shifty 4–8 kt breezes well. Armed with a Code 0 and gennaker the Linjett 36 was able to reach speeds of ~5.8 kt upwind and exceed 6 kt on reaches under light sails, often matching wind speed in flat water. The helm is light and responsive, making the boat enjoyable for short-handed cruising or helming in longer passages. Under power the 40 hp Yanmar saildrive drove the hull to around 7 kt comfortably.

Market position and charter potential

The Linjett 36 balances classic Swedish build quality with modestly modernized styling and slightly increased volume—traits that broaden appeal beyond Linjett’s traditional owner-riveted cruising clientele. For charter operators and premium yacht rental platforms, this model offers a comfortable two-cabin/one-head layout, easy sail handling systems and the cachet of Scandinavian craftsmanship that can appeal to couples, small families or groups seeking a performance-oriented cruiser for coastal cruising.
