Linjett 40
We reply within 2-3 days.
You search for Linjett 40, and almost the same length brings up a Linjett 39 of the new series. Until the builder’s plate shows a launch year in 2002-2012 and dimensions 12.35×3.73 m, you are not yet looking at the boat this page is about.
Linjett 39 is a different programme from about 2020-2021, with a different hull build method and its own press. Mixing it with the 2000s forty just because both sit "around twelve metres" in search is an expensive mistake before any survey. This page is the Rosättra Båtvarv series by Mats Gustafsson: about forty-nine hulls, length 12.35 m, beam 3.73 m, waterline 10.20 m. The chips and hub corrections carry displacement around 7,200 kg and ballast around 3,200 kg. A line that says 12.40×3.95 or years 2002-2011, if it still appears in an old paragraph, does not belong here: it fights the yard and sailboatdata alignment.

Calculations and ratios
Brochure numbers need matching units. Open a FairHelm formula page for the classical form, rule of thumb, and limits before you compare listings.
Design history
Even inside the "right" series, other tables disagree. End of build is usually printed 2012; the owners’ association sometimes shows 2014. Keel weight is 3,200 kg in one place and 3,100 in another. Draft wanders around 1.94-1.98 m. Until the seller shows the plate and the broker confirms launch year, that is not a brochure tweak. It is different rows. We do not pick one end-year or one keel figure here.
The yard describes Linjett 40 as its first boat with wheel steering as standard and sheets and halyards led under deck to the helm, often with electric cockpit winches. There is also a recessed bow anchor. That is not a reason to read a listing as a ready archipelago holiday. It is a reason, on survey, to ask separately about winch age, under-deck lead condition, and how the windlass lives with a long chain: owners’ forum threads already complain about the windlass-chain pair, as a sample, not fleet statistics.
Typical problems
On the hardstanding you look at what Blocket covers omit. The rudder has a sacrificial lower tip: a yard design feature and a target when boats are hit at the pontoon. Sailguide samples on some 2003 hulls already show blade and stock damage. Then keep the same matrix the live page still earns: keel-hull joint, age and bills for standing rigging (including carbon if fitted), saildrive seals, teak and deck-hardware bedding. The yard itself calls groundings a common insurance story for the brand: survey background, not a sentence on every hull.
Annual ownership costs
With a pool of about forty-nine hulls, exit on the second-hand market usually differs from mass Swedish neighbours. We do not invent an asking price or "ready for the season" without bills. Annual kronor bands on the live page can be read as a Swedish marina cost class, not a yard offer and not a substitute for rigging and keel reserves.
Calculators for this boat
Indicative figure for weekend use. The country supplies berth and winter. The insurance line stays the Swedish planning band - not a Danish, German, or Dutch premium. Maintenance stays Swedish too. Not a marina quote.
- Netherlands (annual contract)€6,090 - €9,448
- Sweden (planning bands)€8,050 - €12,750
- Denmark (two harbours, season)€6,154 - €9,327
Antifouling
Litres need waterline length and draft. This page only has length overall and beam, so litres are not calculated here.

Pre-purchase survey checklist
Beside this page FairHelm already has Linjett 40 versus Hallberg-Rassy 36: aft cockpit versus centre cockpit and different market depth. That open is not repeated here. Sister models get one line: the smaller 33, the programme follow-on 37, later the 43 with a lifting keel. That keeps someone else’s drawing off this plate.
Before a deposit, a short list is enough. Launch year on the plate inside 2002-2012. Not a Linjett 39. Dimensions match 12.35×3.73, not a foreign row. On the lift: rudder, keel, rigging by invoices, saildrive, deck. A listing without that set sells hope, not a hull.
Expert verdict
FairHelm rating: 8.1/10: Swedish premium build with loyal following; survey deck hardware bedding and rigging age on 2000s hulls.
