This is a 15m aluminium sailboat by designers Owen Clarke originally created for blue water cruising, the Northwest Passage and high latitude sailing in ice. The yacht is now available as a semi-custom or as a stock design with in-build support if required. The stock boat is an EC compliant blue water cruiser. MGN 280 for charter boats and ice rating versions of the design are available. First of her line, Lynx was the culmination of over a year of combined design effort with her Swiss owner and is already referred to as ‘little Qilak’. Lynx has many unique details of her own that are specific to her skipper’s exacting requirements which were based on his many years of sailing and reviewing the explorer and blue water cruising yachts currently on the market.

Lynx’s accommodation consists of a distinctive raised pilothouse accessed from the main cockpit via a watertight door. The pilothouse incorporates all round visibility through triple glazed windows, a full-length bench sofa/pilot berth, dedicated navigation/watch station and wet locker. Internal access forward leads to the main lower accommodation level which consists of twin aft double berth cabins. The port companionway accesses the galley whilst the starboard companionway leads past the fully equipped heads compartment with integral shower, and adjacent two-person sauna compartment (doubles as extended stowage area for long passages) to the forward twin berths and main access for the saloon. The forepeak features both workshop and expansive and dedicated storage space.
