  • About Linnea

    Linnea is a Crown Jewel-boat designed by the naval architect Tom MacNaughton in Maine. He has been very helpful during our building and has designed a whole series of the same type, the Coin Collection. Linnea is the largest one in the series with Farthing, only 17  ft overall as the smallest.

    Linnea is a bit different then current production boats:

    • Junk rig
    • Inside steering station
    • Flush decked
    • No foot well in the cockpit
    • Heavy – disp/length ratio = 420.
