Description

The LM 30 is a cleverly designed and well built motorsailer with good sailing performance and comfortable accommodation. The moderate draft makes them an ideal cruiser for the shallow waters of the East Coast and beyond. This good example has been well maintained and carefully used and is only for sale due to the owner's advancing years.
