Linssen Grand Sturdy 40SE – 12.85m long
2 Cabins – 1 Bathroom – Sleeps 4 + 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.
In the Linssen Grand Sturdy 40.0 SE Sedan motoryacht, the passage connecting the saloon to the cockpit is on one level, with only a low threshold. Running along the length of the superstructure, the Linssen Longtop covers the cockpit. This means you can stay comfortable and dry, or sheltered from bad weather, when sitting on the integrated bench seat in the cockpit, with the central stern door to the swimming platform.
Key Features
Accommodation
2+2 sleeping berths
The SE Sedan version has one fore cabin with sleeping space for two people, various cupboards, a toilet and separate shower. There is also a twin-bedded side cabin.
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.
On board the 40.0 Sedan, the comfortable helmsman’s position is located on the starboard side in the saloon. The saloon has a spacious layout and is the central interior area of both versions of the Grand Sturdy 40.0. There is a large bench on the starboard side and a galley with cupboards on the port side. The saloon and the open aft deck can be combined into one large space by opening the wide double doors.

SE Sedan boats and the Linssen Variodeck
SE Sedan versions of Linssen motor yachts are, in particular, very popular because of the impressive amount of living space created by merging the saloon and the open aft deck (protected underneath the extended saloon roof line). And all that on one level and – apart from the low threshold – without having to go up a single step.
With the added luxury of the Linssen Variodeck® opening sun-roof, you will really feel as if you are on a much bigger boat. You can enjoy bracing fresh air and the invigorating rays of the sun whenever you want. It only takes a moment to operate the Linssen Variodeck®, which is light as a feather to move. Just choose one of the five fixed positions to combine the wheelhouse and cockpit into a spacious “outdoor deck”. And that’s without having to sacrifice any aspect of on-board comfort and protection.
Linssen Easysleep Feature
AC Aft Cabin and SE Sedan Linssen motor yacht types are equipped with the EASY SLEEP CONVERT SYSTEM. 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 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.

- Level aft deck with integrated deck boxes (lazarettes) and bench settee

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.
