Quick sale needed.The Danish LM27 has long been probably the world’s most successful small wheelhouse sailing cruiser, with over 1,500 built since the designs introduction in 1975. First built in Denmark, the moulds later came to the UK when LM ceased building yachts and started to manufacture blades for wind turbines. The hull lines and robust construction owe much to the traditional Scandinavian “Colin Archer” sailing lifeboats, although the originals of these designs, long regarded by many as the epitome of seaworthiness, are rather larger.

For such a small motor-sailer, with bluff bow and long shallow keel, the sailing performance is remarkably good. When introduced 'Yachting World' reported that ".... she sails surprisingly fast”, and 'Yachting Monthly' said ".... Can she sail? Undoubtedly this one can, in a very satisfactory way”.On 18-Oct-20 at 14:14:56 BST, seller added the following information:More photos available and video of engine running please message il send them overOn 20-Oct-20 at 08:35:25 BST, seller added the following information:https://youtu.be/HnCe1F2ry5A Please follow the link for video of the engine running
