The new 25.9 Saloon Cockpit Fusion is distinguished by its sturdy, “full” hull. This creates a vast amount of space which the designers have put to good use. The separate fore cabin contains a generously proportioned “French-style” double bed and there are separate (!) toilet/shower compartments as well as ample cupboard and storage space.The helmsman’s position and cockpit are on one level, creating a “saloon” of about 8.5 m² which gives a pleasant feeling of space. It can be completely opened in fine weather and well protected when the weather is not so good (on one side when windy, if desired) using the handy open cockpit covers all around. Helmsman’s position with bench seat and “co-pilot” seat have been located centrally so that captain and partner can together enjoy a panoramic view while under way. The galley unit behind the cockpit bench (including the refrigerator) on the starboard side is positioned practically opposite the large, real leather U-bench with great book-reading position! – and dinette table. The interior is finished in luxury American cherrywood throughout, which creates an atmosphere of warmth and luxury when combined with the curtains and the attractive floor. Although its ease of operation and compact dimensions make it extremely suitable for short (weekend) trips, Linssen definitely did not develop the Grand Sturdy 25.9 as a typical day cruiser. On the contrary, it is a complete motor yacht which is well suited to longer stays, particularly because of the storage space available (e.g. under the cockpit floor). From this point of view in particular, the Linssen 25.9 is a very competitive product.
