Linjett 36: The versatile Nordic boat in our test video, Part 2: What it’s like living on board.

In the first part of our video feature on YACHT-TV The new Linjett 36 had to prove itself, particularly under sail. In strong winds in the Stockholm archipelago, the Swedish yacht demonstrated plenty of speed, very balanced steering and good manoeuvrability. In the second part, we’ll now head below deck. We’ll show you how the Linjett 36 is laid out below deck, the high standard of the interior fit-out and the practical solutions hidden away in cupboards, storage spaces and technical areas.

Even at first glance below deck, you’ll notice just how spacious and bright the interior feels. Large hull windows, the long bands of windows in the superstructure and several deck hatches allow plenty of daylight into the boat. Added to this is the warm tone of the mahogany fittings. However, for those who prefer a more modern and lighter look, the shipyard also offers a choice of other types of timber.

Traditional design, a modern feel to the space

The basic layout is fixed. Rosättra therefore does not offer a wide range of interior configuration options. However, the materials and many details can be tailored to the owners’ preferences. In the saloon, two long benches face each other and can also be used as berths. The port side can be widened if required. Cupboards and shelves provide additional storage space, although there isn’t an excessive amount of it in the saloon itself.

A particular highlight is the galley, situated right next to the companionway. Plenty of worktop space, a deep double sink and numerous well-secured drawers and compartments show that this isn’t just intended for cooking whilst in harbour. Even when the boat is heeling, the work area remains easy to use, and the passageway to the aft cabin isn’t unnecessarily restricted, despite the spacious galley.

Plenty of comfort in the bow

The owner’s cabin in the fore section is particularly spacious. The long and wide V-berth offers plenty of space, complemented by large cupboards, storage units and additional storage space beneath the sleeping area. Two large hull windows and a deck hatch ensure plenty of light here too. A space-saving sliding door separates the cabin from the saloon.

The aft cabin is also bright and easily accessible. For a yacht of this size, it offers plenty of room to move about, even though the shape of the berth is somewhat restricted by the technical fittings at the rear.

The bathroom is situated opposite the galley and features a separately partitioned shower. Here, too, the shipyard combines classic wood with white surfaces and modern fittings. Plenty of cupboards and shelves provide additional storage space. Indeed, it is remarkable just how much attention Rosättra has paid to the issue of storage space. The large storage locker can accommodate even bulky luggage and, thanks to its built-in heating, can even serve as a drying room for wet oilskins. A structurally integrated ventilation gap allows the warm, damp air to escape.

There is also no need to drag auxiliary sails all the way through the boat or cockpit. There is a large sail locker in the foredeck for gennakers or Code Zero sails. This area also provides space for fenders and other equipment.

Neatly installed on-board electronics

In the second part of the video, we also take an in-depth look behind the panels and trim. The electrical system is clearly laid out and neatly installed. It features a modern on-board lithium battery as well as a high-performance charging system. The diesel heater is also fitted as standard by the shipyard and heats the entire interior.
