Broker's Comments
Boatshed are pleased to offer for sale this very highly maintained example of the Danish bilge keeler. This LM28 with its bilge keel gives it a well documented sea keeping ability and could safely dry out.
This looks a great example of an LM 28. Well equipped, regularly maintained and used by her owners, she has a good looking hull and interior.
The Danish certainly know about high caliber build quality and this vessel is proof. She has bilge keels so should feel surefooted and safe under sail. The 30hp engine provides ample power when motoring too and she should an easy boat to single-hand too. The LM 28 was a very successful model with about 325 being built.
She has fine lines and a lovely stern. Some families utilise the cockpit seating to provide an additional 2 fine-weather berths.
These boat details are subject to survey & contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
