DECK

A clean sweep of teak planking runs forward from the broad aft deck, past two Bimini covered cockpits tucked behind a shelter giving deckhouse, towards the bow. The aft cockpit is dedicated to the owner’s use, edged with seating and sunk low into the deck, while the square sectioned teak built deckhouse just forward provides access to the owner’s stateroom. Beyond this, the main cockpit is both a sociable working space and an outdoor dining venue, with the helm station and controls located aft, and the sides edged with cushioned seating that serves the drop leaf dining table.

Forward of the main deckhouse is a traditional skylight above the main saloon. Then the wide uncluttered deck sweeps past the mast to the bow, broken only by two service winches and the foredeck hatch to the crew’s quarters. A hydraulically operated platform opens from the port side amidships to allow easy access from the water or from a dinghy via a ladder up to the main deck level.

Sailing CARL LINNE is very straightforward. All systems are hydraulically powered, and tacking upwind with staysail and main is simply a matter of turning the wheel. With swept back spreaders, running backstays are not necessary below 25 knots of wind, and the staysail sheet passes through a track mounted block running athwartships forward of the mast, then lead aft to the cockpit coaming. The plumb bow and fine entry provide speed, little spray, and a comfortable motion, while the modern, hydraulically operated lifting keel with a narrow fin and 23 ton bulb provides a quick and nimble response to the helm, and allows entry to even shallow anchorage.

Three steps lead down from the main cockpit into the deckhouse, superbly built in teak and cherry, with windows on all four sides giving clear views whether sitting or standing. To port a U-shaped banquette wraps around a six seat dining table, the inboard places served by two stools that swivel out from underneath the table. Forward to starboard is the navigation center, incorporating three flat screens, a full sized chart table, and a comfortable bench seat.

Beneath the deckhouse, a full beam engine room effectively divides the lower deck in two. Aft, accessed by stairs from the deckhouse, the entire area is dedicated to the owner’s stateroom, with a large double berth, a dressing table, a long sofa, and companionway stairs to the private aft cockpit. A large shower room is forward to port, and a compartment with a head and wash basin is to starboard. Forward of the deckhouse, several steps lead down to the saloon, which is partially divided by the casing for the lifting keel along the centerline. To port is a large galley that opens to a seating area just aft, fitted with an inbuilt L-shaped sofa and table, a comfortable area to play cards and for the crew to eat. Just to starboard is a more formal dining room with L-shaped bench settee, handsome dining table, and four dining chairs.

Opening forward to either side of the centerboard casing are two spectacular wood trimmed guest cabins: a double berth stateroom to port, and a twin cabin with a third Pullman berth to starboard.

The crew cabin, with ensuite facilities and a double bed and two single berths, is located further forward in the bows. Since inclement weather may make the foredeck entry to this cabin uncomfortable or awkward, a second entrance is provided through the shower room of the double guest cabin to port.

SOFT FURNISHINGS

All soft furnishings have been recently updated with interior design by Kerry Francis Designs of London to include cashmere Lora Piana and Sunbrella fabrics. The boat comes with a set of carefully made floor runner covers, external varnish covers and soft furnishing covers. This allows us to stretch out periods between external re-varnishing work to 6-12 months.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

CARL LINNE is simply a delight, and no cost has been spared in equipment and annual maintenance. Her astounding good looks will make any owner proud, her performance under sail will bring unbounded joy, and her quality of construction will bring a deep satisfaction. Inspection is highly recommended.

Patton Marine Surveyors, one of the most, if not the most recognised and renowned International Surveyors, recently had the following to say after completing a condition survey at the request of the current Owner:

“CARL LINNE” is an excellent example of a truly custom designed sailing yacht, being designed and built by one of northern Europe’s premiere yacht builders. She is designed for world wide ocean cruising and has successfully and comfortably achieved many safe ocean passages. She is built and outfitted to very high standards using very good quality equipment.

Over the past few years she has been extensively cruising and her maintenance has been kept up to high standard. Her external appearance is first class, with a new paint coating system and bright work varnish."
