The completely new design mixes traditional components with modern ones: the stem is angled for easier mooring with the bow on a skerry, rather than the usual vertical design. The stern is slightly tapered and there is no folding bathing platform. The underwater fittings are state of the art, and the rudder blade is large and deep for good boat control. On deck is an up-to-date 9/10 rig, whose 107 per cent genoa can be furled slightly on a self-tacking rail if required and desired. Halyards, sheets and outhauls are led aft to the two helm stations. The winches are positioned almost next to each other and not in a row on the coaming as usual. The mainsheet is run with a traveller on the coachroof, the two ends are led aft through the cockpit coaming. The furling system is recessed.
The construction and design are said to have incorporated findings from the production of the ambitious Shogun project (see also YACHT 2/20), which, according to the Linjett 39 Shipyard lighter and stiffer than older models. An electric drive can be installed on request. The standard version has three cabins, with the wet room located in the foredeck and accessible from the saloon. The Linjett 39 is due to be launched in summer 2021 and will cost 2.985 million Swedish krona, which corresponds to around 293,000 euros at the current exchange rate.
