Introduction
Introducing the Lynx 48 – developed by Lynx Yachting Ltd, designed by the renowned Naval Architects Owen Clarke Design and built-out by Hutting Yachts – a synergy of expertise.
Seaworthy, self-sufficient, safe and reliable, this fully optimized and meticulously crafted sailing yacht is the ideal expedition vessel for exploring even the most challenging destinations.
The Lynx 48 is offered semi-customizable; Hutting Yachts will craft the build out to the specific requirements of the owner.
The Quest for the Best Feasible compact go-anywhere yacht
After a thorough assessment of requirements and available options, the Lynx Yachting team concluded that “finding an optimum yacht for challenging high-latitude environments is easier said than done, given the requirements for seaworthiness, self-sufficiency, safety, and reliability”, not to forget ever-tougher standards and regulations.
The team embraced the challenge to create the ultimate high-latitude sailing yacht, in close collaboration with the top architects, designers, engineers, yards, and suppliers.
Ice-Reinforced Hull with Lifting Keel
The hull is fully optimized for Arctic navigation, featuring ice reinforcements such as ice girders and extra-high half frames from bow to beam. The lifting keel (1.6 to 3.2 m draft) has a lead bulb; the reinforced keel case spans the entire height of the hull from bilge to deck.
A Powerful Sail Plan
The rig consists of a strong and light carbon-fiber mast with rod rigging (Axxon Composites), outriggers and carbon spi-pole (Sparcraft). The sailing wardrobe include North 3Di main and J2 as well as Gennaker and Tradewind. Most lines are led to the cockpit winches (Antal, 4 power, 2 manual).
Tough, Strong and Efficient Systems
Two independent and integrated power units provide clean and efficient propulsion (range over 5000 NM) and electric power. Anchor, windlass, bow-thruster, heating, water and electric systems are sized for very heavy use.
