Linssen Grand Sturdy 40AC – 12.85m long
3 Cabins – 2 Bathrooms – Sleeps 6 + 2

Like its smaller sisters, the Linssen Grand Sturdy 40.0 is available in an AC variant (with an aft cabin and raised aft deck) and an SE Sedan variant (with an open, level access aft deck). The easily recognisable, slim profile is consistently carried through into the new, elegant designs.

Key Features

Accommodation

6+2 sleeping berths

The AC version of the Grand Sturdy 40.0 has a fore and aft cabin with a double bed. There is also a twin-bedded side cabin. Six people can sleep comfortably on board. The fore cabin has a toilet, a separate shower and various cupboards. The aft cabin has a spacious cupboard on the port side.

In addition, in both AC and the Sedan models, the Easy Sleep Convert System makes it possible to create two extra sleeping berths by converting the saloon settee into a double bed.

What the level deck is for the 40.0 SE Sedan, the raised aft deck (above the aft cabin) is for the 40.0 AC. The decks have comfortable benches and integrated deck boxes for storage. The bulwark includes a central stern door that provides access to the swimming platform with deck shower. On board the 40.0 AC, the helmsman’s position is on the upper deck in the open air. For extra protection, its folding canopy roof can be closed from behind by means of a removable section.

This system enables you to convert the saloon settee seat into a full-size double bed in no time at all. By simply removing the saloon table and cushions, you can pull the settee out, and a slatted base appears automatically. Replace the cushions again to create a comfortable bed for two people.

Specifications

Excellent sailing characteristics

The 40.0 AC and 40.0 SE are are stable and easily manoeuvrable motor yachts on which you can cruise many of the inland waterways, rivers, canals and lakes of Europe. They are also CE rated as ‘B’ – built to navigate on the offshore waters (200 miles and less) and can sustain wind conditions up to force 8 and wave conditions up to 4 metres high.

  • CE Classification –  B Sea
  • 1x 5 cil. Volvo Penta Diesel, Type D3-110, 1x 82 kW (110 HP)
  • Emission compliance: EPA Tier 3, EU RCD Stage II, BSO II
  • 6.4kW Bow Thruster fitted – provision for optional stern thruster

Cruising characteristics can simply be described as extraordinary. The Linssen special single-chine hull shape gives the yacht excellent stability and thanks to a combination of the new shape of the boat below the waterline, keel shape, rudder shape and rudder balance ratio, the boat also handles well in reverse, even against the direction of rotation of the propeller.

Linssen CCH Compartment Controlled Heating Feature

Most boats include a heating system; at many times of the year this is a necessity. There are many types, none of them completely satisfactory, and Linssen have talked to customers, analysed their experiences, and set some critical performance and specification requirements.

The result is the digitally controlled Linssen CCH heating system, available on 12m boats and above. Each space (compartment) in the boat has its own heat source, with two thermostats – for public spaces and for private cabins and facilities – on timers.

The heat source (diesel and battery powered) is efficient and very quiet. The system is reliable and easy to service, with low maintenance costs, and demoisturises to reduce condensation. The Linssen CCH heating system guarantees a quiet, efficient, powerful, low-energy and user-friendly experience.


Linssen ICCESS- Integrated CAN-bus Controlled Electric Supply System

Like modern automobiles and trucks, ship and boat-building is increasingly using CAN-bus (Controller Area Network) systems. This allows electronic devices to communicate with each other without the need for a separate cable for each communication flow. It’s a great idea and provides users with exceptionally fast, accurate and comprehensive information, to set operational parameters and control performance.

With long experience, Linssen have modified CAN-bus exploit its advantages (for example, a vast reduction in complicated, difficult to repair cabling) whilst reducing unnecessary over-sophistication such that any technician, even without CAN-bus experience, can fault-find, repair and maintain.

    LBH Linssen Boating Holidays Charter Ownership Scheme – selected models only

    For owners who have too little time to use the boat during the entire season, the fact that the boat is not lying idle, is being used meaningfully and is being cared for by professionals at a safe and reliable location, is a comfort in itself. Particularly if you are absent for a longer period.
