What this video covers

A test sail of the new Linjett 36 conducted in autumn conditions, with winds up to 10 knots in the gusts.0:15 The crew sailed upwind on a beat, then set a gennaker and ran downwind back, covering the full afternoon.0:28 The boat handled well throughout — responsive on the helm and comfortable upwind despite being a heavy displacement hull that does not plane.1:09 Interior volume stands out for the size class: larger saloon, larger head, and larger cabins than comparable 36-footers, though no chart table is fitted.0:49 Two wheels are standard.0:49 The host, who owns an X362 of similar length, notes the Linjett 36 feels significantly larger below deck and delivers high fit-and-finish quality in every detail.0:47 The boat is positioned as a compact cruiser for sailors who want premium build quality without stepping up to a larger hull.0:49 A comparison with the upcoming Hallberg-Rassy 37 is flagged as a future test, given the two boats share a similar market segment and concept.0:49 For buyers prioritizing interior volume and quality in a sub-40-foot cruiser, the Linjett 36 competes above its length.
