Carl Linné was designed to be fast, seaworthy, and suitable for blue water sailing while maintaining passenger comfort. She was named after the 18th century Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus and has been used to aid in whale research expeditions around the world. Carl Linné provides luxurious accommodations for up to six guests across three staterooms and deck spaces optimized for both work and relaxation. Her aluminum hull, lifting keel, and rigging allow for exploration of remote areas accessible to few other yachts.

2. The Designer’s Word
“The Bristol Pilot Cutter’s appearance and fame for being fast and seaworthy was the original
driving force behind the Carl Linné design.
While keeping the Pilot Cutter tradition in mind we developed a yacht with modern standards
of performance and comfort. A retractable keel and balanced rudder, with deck layout suitable
for safe and fast passage produced a true blue water sailing yacht.”

4. Carl Linné – the name
The yacht is named in honour of the 18th Century Swedish biologist, zoologist and physician Carl Linnaeus, known as a
father of modern ecology. His studies took himself and his students on voyages of discovery around the globe.
He was the first to distinguish whales from fish and responsible for the naming of a number of whale species. The yacht has
continued to aid whale research and has be used to track, monitor, tag, dive and snorkel with whales all over the world.
The spirit of discovery, adventure and the appreciation of natural beauty that was central to Linnaeus and his research is a
perfect fit with a classic sailing yacht built for exploring the worlds blue water oceans.
Carl Linné has ventured to many far away locations and been treated and cared for with pride and love, ensuring whenever
she has returned home the experience never ends.

6. Relaxing Luxury
A spacious owners’ cabin aft with detailed design and a focus on luxury at sea, combined with
two splendid wood-trimmed guest cabins – both en suite – provide guests with a perfect escape
whether at sea or in port.
The yacht makes a daring statement, merging tradition with the requirements of a modern ocean
cruiser to deliver an experience that is quite unique in the world of the sailing Superyacht.

9. Quality and tradition above and below decks
The deck abounds with traditional wood joinery and glistening brightwork. The main cockpit is
both a sociable working space and outdoor dining venue. The Deckhouse is a great inside/outside
area, well protected yet with great all round views. Raised bulwarks provide for a safe deck area.
The attention to detail, quality and tradition is not lost below decks with superb detailing of the
cherry wood fittings, practicality and traditional beauty all equally emphasised.

10. Built to explore
Able to sail in a huge wind range, the yacht features an aluminium hull with a fine entry and clean, bustle-free
stern sections for optimum sailing and steering characteristics. A lifting keel gives her the ability to enter shallow
harbours allowing cruising in areas other large yachts simply can’t get to. A deck and rig arrangement allows for
genuinely shorthanded two person sailing. These design features and her proven track record, show that she
truly is built for serious off the beaten path exploration for extended periods.
