The Linjett 39 received considerable attention upon its launch, not only because it was Linjett’s first digitally designed boat, but also because, as a completely unknown model in Europe, it won the prestigious award European Yacht of the Year 2023. “The best boat you may not have heard of,” praised Yachting World in their review of the Linjett 39.
Unlike previous models, the Linjett 39 was fully realized from the drawing stage. By adding a digital dimension to our traditional craftsmanship through 3D design, we combined the best of both worlds. The result is a yacht where cutting-edge functionality meets expert craftsmanship, achieving a perfect balance between classic elegance and contemporary solutions that elevate both the sailing experience and life on board. Today, the Linjett 39 has become a beloved leisure yacht, offering ample space for the whole family to relax and socialize.
The model is available in two layout options: the standard version with three cabins and a separate bathroom, or a two-cabin version offering more storage space and a larger bathroom.
"The layout is incredibly clever. The Linjett team has truly worked magic with the space, finding solutions that make it much easier to access all the technical equipment with additional hatches. It’s almost like having a ‘dual layout’—one for the technical systems and one for the living areas. It feels very open and maintenance-friendly."
Bertil Jauren, L39-02 Liana
Through higher freeboards and coach roof the Linjett 39 has a more distinctive silhouette than her sisters, yet still retains the signature slender Linjett waterline, slanting bow and timelessness. The Linjett Design Team has utilised its combined sailing and design experience to give her a dynamic hull that is lighter and stiffer in the water and an absolute joy to sail.
During the development process we put a lot of effort into creating solutions that simplify the handling of the boat. All sheets, halyards and control lines run smoothly under the deck back to the helm station and allow the Linjett 39 to be sailed to its full potential even with a smaller crew. This solution also keeps the large cockpit open and clutter free, making it feel simultaneously protected and inviting – regardless of how active of a role you play in the actual sailing of the boat.
The flow of the cockpit continues into the interior, which is airy and social, yet still cosy. With its spacious salon, large galley and roomy head - the Linjett 39 is a yacht to be lived in. The floors flow continuously at one level throughout the boat, which provides a free line of sight and amplifies the sense of space and volume and six large hull windows provides ample natural light and blurs the line between inside and outside.
Traditionally the placement of the bulkhead in a yacht is fairly fixed, it affects the layout and limits the interior options of a yacht. In the Linjett 39 we have combined and reinforced the bulkheads with two laminated beams, which allowed us to create a more spacious salon. She is a modern yacht designed for comfort: everywhere you will find clever storage solutions – each item has its own designated space, whether its equipment or electronics. To starboard there is a separate draining room with a shower and space for wet gear. In the aft there are two generous stowage compartments.
The Linjett 39 comes in two different layout versions, with either a 3-cabin or 2-cabin interior layout.
The Linjett 39 comes standard with three cabins in a traditional layout, featuring two identical aft cabins and a front cabin. Both versions include a spacious saloon with an identical L-shaped galley placed in the same location.
The three-cabin version is designed with family in mind, ensuring ample space and comfort for everyone on board. Each cabin features large double beds and there is plenty of clever storage throughout the boat.
A unique feature of the three-cabin version is its divided bathroom. On the starboard side right down the companionway, there is a wet room with a shower and storage for wet weather gear. The heads is located forward, in front of the saloon, allowing it to be used independently from the wet room.
The two-cabin layout was drawn up after we received multiple requests for it at relatively short timeframe. After creating the alternative design, it got off to a flying start as we immediately received two orders of the Linjett 39 in this configuration.
This version of the L39 is designed to sail longer distances more comfortably, with additional space for equipment and more generous living areas. It also includes larger holding and water tanks compared to the standard layout.
The two-cabin layout features a larger owner’s cabin in the bow, with a wider and longer berth (210 cm in length). The owner’s cabin also includes more cupboards and drawers, and features a recessed sliding door. The front bulkhead has been slightly moved aft, increasing the size of the bow’s sail storage locker. The bathroom (word choice intended) is more spacious and offers greater storage than the standard version. It also includes a separate shower with a glass door, creating a feeling of a true bathroom. Instead of the starboard aft berth, there is a large storage compartment accessible from the cockpit, completed with a separate wet gear compartment which is accessible from the bathroom.
The goal when developing the rig and sails for the Linjett 39 was to make the yacht both quick, safe, and easy to handle. The Linjett yachts are renowned for their ability to carry large sails while maintaining perfect balance, and the Linjett 39 is no exception. Her foretriangle is the same size as the Linjett 43’s, but she is incredibly stable and reliable, even at aggressive angles. Thanks to a clever deck layout, you never need to be more than two people to sail her – no matter the weather conditions.
The aluminium rig from Seldén features a keel-stepped 9/10 mast with double swept spreaders for increased tuning options and maximum performance. Like our other models, the L39 can be equipped with Linjett's popular 107% furling jib. The jib can easily be reefed by rolling it into set markings and function with the self-tacking system – which comes as standard equipment.
For a true premium experience, all Linjett models can be delivered with a high-quality carbon fibre rig, manufactured by either Pauger or Seldén. The carbon fibre rig is at least twice as strong and reduces the weight by up to 80% compared to a traditional rig. The use of carbon fibre makes the rig stiffer while enhancing trim capabilities. The lighter rig increases the boat's stability while reducing overall strain. With smaller dimensions and less wind resistance, it is also much easier to handle.
