The LM 27 is a well-regarded Danish-built motorsailer, produced from 1972 to 1985, known for its solid construction, seaworthiness, and practical design. With a long keel and sturdy hull, it performs reliably in both coastal and offshore conditions, making it ideal for adventurous cruising. Its interior is spacious for its size, comfortably sleeping up to six, with a separate head, galley, and a convertible saloon.
Sailing performance is solid, particularly off the wind, and the boat’s ability to motor-sail adds versatility in varying weather. The extended pilothouse provides shelter and excellent visibility as well as additional work space and room for the firdge, making it suitable for all seasons. The LM 27 also features quality craftsmanship with classic teak finishes, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
Its balance of comfort, durability, and charm makes it a compelling choice for cruisers who prioritize practicality and reliability. Whether for weekend sailing or longer trips, the LM 27 remains a classic, dependable yacht with timeless appeal.
