Linjett 30
Description
The Linjett 30 is a classic Swedish cruiser-racer designed by Jan Gustafsson (with some sources crediting Mats Gustafsson in related family/boatyard context) and built by Rosättra Båtvarv AB (Rosättra Boatyard, the original home of Linjett Yachts) in Sweden from 1973/1974 to 1979/1982. It was the inaugural production model for the Linjett line, born from a collaborative effort by the Gustafsson brothers (Jan as designer, with family involvement) to blend Half-Ton Cup racing performance with practical family cruising—resulting in a one-design class that proved hugely successful with 112 hulls built. The boat features solid fiberglass construction, a wide beam for stability and interior space, a fin keel with spade rudder for responsive handling, a masthead sloop rig optimized for moderate conditions, and a family-friendly layout (typically 4–6 berths in V-forward + saloon settees, basic galley/heads, headroom ~5'10"–6'2").

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
