1985 LM 28
ALL VIEWINGS ARE CURRENTLY STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
The LM 28 is a typically well built Scandinavian motor sailer with surprisingly good sailing characteristics thanks to her sailing focused hull design, making for a great alternative to the Fisher 30 or Westerly Konsort Duo as well as many others. Offering the practicality of a wheelhouse combined with a spacious cockpit, dual steering positions and versatile interior space they really are an excellent choice and were highly praised by the yachting press. 'Walkabout' is a sought after twin keel version allowing her to take the ground if desired, and has been well maintained and continually upgraded. Her impressive spec includes a new engine and saildrive in 2009, diesel heating, plotter, autopilot and epoxy coating in 2014, early viewing is highly recommended!
Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office on (01621) 785600
