Used Boat Review: LM32 Pilothouse Sloop

This compact motorsailer stretches the northern sailing season..

lm 32 sailboat

Photos by Ron Dwelle

Danish company LM (Lunderskov Mbelfabrik) began as a wood-furniture maker in 1940. In the 1950s, the company started incorporating the newfangled fiberglass into its furniture and changed its name to LM Glasfiber.

In 1972, the company built its first fiberglass sailboat, the LM27, and over the next 20 years, it built 3,000 boats in five models, ranging from 24 to 32 feet. In 1995, LM stopped building boats and concentrated on fabricating giant wind-turbine blades. The manufacturer is now known as the LM Wind Power Group and claims to be the worlds largest maker of the blades. Unfortunately, the company no longer has anything to do with LM sailboats.

Most LM boats were sold in Europe, but for several years in the 1980s, about a fourth of their hulls were sold in the U.S., particularly in the Great Lakes and East Coast areas. A drastic change in the currency exchange rate raised their price significantly, ending imports. The importer was located in Green Bay, Wis., but went out of business in 2001.

LM reportedly sold the hull molds to English company ScanYachts, which built only two or three hulls, one as recently as 2004.

Used Boat Review: LM32 Pilothouse Sloop

All the LM models share a similar look-canoe-stern hulls with a pilothouse ahead of a sizable cockpit. All are mast-head rigged sloops, and every owner we talked to said that the boats sailed better than they expected-an experience that we shared on our test sail of the LM32. Despite the boats appearance, owners don’t regard them as motorsailers. The smallest model-the LM24-looks a little clunky with the pilothouse, but all the larger models are fairly attractive, with a modest sheer and fairly low cabinhouse and pilothouse. The LM24 was one of the few small boats with a 6-foot standing headroom. The LM27 gained a reputation as an exceptionally good, small ocean passagemaker, and it continues to be in high demand on the European used-boat market.

All LM boats came with a very complete list of standard equipment, including lifelines, pulpits, speedometer, depthsounder, boarding ladders, anchor and rode, fenders, fire extinguishers, and even dishes and cutlery.

The LM24 and LM27 have shallow full-length keels, but the other models were available with twin bilge keels in addition to the more common long-ish fin keel. As far as we know, no bilge-keel models were imported to the U.S., although this was the most popular in England. The fin-keel models have a spade rudder behind a small partial skeg. Ballast in the smaller models was cast iron, and the company said that the larger models had an alloy of iron and lead cast in fiberglass. We havent been able to decipher that claim, but the ballast is enclosed in fiberglass, which is integral to the hull.

All of LMs designers were in-house, and they were referred to as the back-room boys. The designer of the LM24 is listed simply as LM. The LM27 was designed by Palle Mortensen, and the other three models were designed by Bent Juul Andersen.

The boats were sold with either a Bukh (German) or a Volvo (Swedish) diesel. All the LM boats imported to the U.S. came with Volvo engines, while most of the European boats had the Bukh. The Volvo featured a saildrive as standard in the LM30 and LM32. The engines are enclosed in a sound-proofed fiberglass box, either underneath the sole of the pilothouse (LM32) or under the sole of the cockpit (LM30). Many of these boats on the used-boat market have been re-powered with a variety of engines.

The LMs construction is conventional but well done. The boats have a reputation in Europe for high quality, and the LM32 we tested bore out that reputation. The hull is hand-laid fiberglass, and the deck is balsa cored. Its noteworthy that we could find no delamination or spongy spots in the deck or top of the pilothouse in the 28-year-old LM32 we tested-a rarity in a boat of that age.

The interior mahogany woodwork is well done, as you might expect from a company with a long history as a furniture maker. Even the cabinets and drawers are noticeably well-made, evidence that the company didnt skimp on what was out of sight.

The 32 shares all the obvious characteristics of the LM line-particularly the distinctive canoe stern and pilothouse. In most respects, it is simply a larger version of the smaller models. The boat is 32 feet in length and has a 27-foot, 10-inch waterline; its beam is 10 feet 8 inches, and it draws 4 feet, 11 inches. The bilge keel models (called twin-keel in some brochures) draw 4 feet, 1 inch. Displacement is 12,000 pounds, with 4,400 pounds of ballast.

Accommodations

The LM32s cockpit is sizable considering that canoe-stern boats usually have shortened cockpits. There are bench seats on each side of the cockpit, and a large fold-out table easily can seat six. The boat came standard with a canvas bimini that covers the cockpit, and the boat we sailed had zip-in side curtains as well.

There are lockers under each of the bench seats-propane tanks on the port side-and a huge locker under the cockpit sole. Cockpit drains are adequately sized, but they could become a problem with boarding seas from astern, especially since there is no bridgedeck between the cockpit and pilothouse.

At the top of the rudder-stock is an attachment spot for the removable tiller, which can be used if you want to sail from the cockpit rather than from the pilothouse. The wheel steering in the pilothouse has a mechanical disconnect so the tiller moves freely. It would be a challenge to get at the steering gear near the rudder post since the compartment is sealed off from the rest of the cockpit and there are only two round, 6-inch access ports.

At the forward end of the bench seats on each side are the halyard and reefing lines, which run inside a channel on the side of the pilothouse and terminate in cam cleats in front of stainless Andersen winches. The Andersen genoa winches are adequate but definitely not oversized. None of the winches on the test boat were self-tailing; self-tailers were not originally offered as an option.

The mainsheet has a single cam-cleat attachment point at the back edge of the pilothouse, and the sheet hangs down into the cockpit. Theres no mainsheet traveller.

At the front of the cockpit, double sliding doors open up to the pilothouse. On the starboard side is the steering station with a raised captains seat and a second fold-up seat that slides out so two people can share the helm. A wood steering wheel is immediately ahead, and engine controls, the electrical panel, and sailing instruments are directly in front of the helmsman.

The chart table is immediately ahead of the wheel. This setup is good for laying down a chart so the helmsman can see it, but it made it difficult to do actual chart work.

The pilothouses front windows have windshield wipers, and the front center window opens up for ventilation. An interesting feature testers noted was a sliding hatch above the wheel and seat that allows the helmsman to stand up for a good view of the sails, deck, and seas.

On the port side of the pilothouse is a compact galley, with a two-burner propane stove and a small sink. On the test boat, the front-loading refrigerator is underneath the stove, and storage drawers extend all the way outboard to the hull. The only usable counterspaces are the hinged wood covers for the stove and sink, which can be moved when the stove or sink are in use. This may be the smallest galley in any 32-foot production sailboat.

The pilothouse steps down into the saloon, which has a settee on the port side and a dinette/double-berth to starboard. The owner of the boat we sailed had removed the dinette table, opting to eat only at the cockpit table in exchange for a roomier saloon. Stowage lockers are outboard of the 6-foot-long settees as well as underneath. An overhead hatch and a single, fixed port on each side offer good lighting.

Forward of the saloon is the head to starboard, with a hanging locker opposite. The compact head compartment is unusual in that the sink slides out from underneath the deck, above the toilet. The small head also has a teak grating above the sump, making it possible to shower in the head. Fixed ports on each side offer lighting.

The V-berth uses a filler to make a roomy double bed, though it is only 6 feet long. Small stowage lockers are at the head of the V-berth and underneath the anchor locker. There are also shelves along the hull above the berth. Two fixed ports on the side and an overhead front hatch provide adequate lighting. Early models had stacked berths that looked suitable mostly for children, but we don’t think any of those were imported to the U.S.

Overall, with its narrow beam, long cockpit, and canoe stern, the LM32s interior room is comparable to a more-modern, broad-beamed, fat-stern 28-footer. At least LM avoided the folly of quarter-berths, which are wasted space on most boats this size. This is definitely a couples boat, and finding living or sleeping space for four people would be a push.

Used Boat Review: LM32 Pilothouse Sloop

The rig is a conventional, single-spreader masthead sloop. The chainplates are close to the deckhouse, so the sidedecks are adequately wide, except at the back edge of the pilothouse, where it is a squeeze to get through.

A rigid boom-vang was standard for the LM32 mainsail, making up some for the lack of a traveller. A 150-percent furling genoa also was standard; smaller sails and a spinnaker were options. The boat we test sailed had only the standard main and 150, but had recently added a stack pack for mainsail handling.

Anyone buying a saltwater LM will want to scrutinize the rigging and chainplates carefully for corrosion. The boat we tested was a freshwater boat with zero rig issues after 28 years.

The LM32 engine is a Volvo MD17 three-cylinder, 35-horsepower diesel. Its plenty big to push the boat, even through headwinds and waves. The Volvo saildrive makes for a compact installation, and the entire engine/drive unit is contained in a waterproof and soundproofed compartment underneath the pilothouse sole. Testers noted that the engine was quiet and its installation offered good access.

The aluminum saildrive needs to be maintained carefully if used in saltwater, but weve heard of surprisingly few problems with corrosion or with the rubber hull seal. The saildrive came with a fixed prop-a folding prop being optional-and the boat we tested had the fixed. Performance would benefit from a folding prop.

On the LM32, the prop is well forward of the rudder, making the boat less maneuverable in reverse. Theres also little sidewise kick from the prop, so tight-quarter turning will be a challenge. In the LM30, the saildrive is much closer to the rudder-under the cockpit rather than under the pilothouse.

Original fuel tankage on the LM32 was 55 gallons, more than enough for normal cruising. In fact, were not big fans of such large tankage. Most coastal cruisers will eventually have fuel in the tank that is several years old, and this could lead to potential problems with algae and other contaminants.

The 55 gallons of water tankage is also adequate for coastal cruising, but the holding tank is only 15 gallons, and this could be an issue as states increase enforcement of pump-out rules. Unfortunately, there is no good place on the boat to install a larger tank.

The original electrical wiring was well done, although after 25 years there are almost always some cobbled-up wiring runs, and the breaker panel would benefit from expansion. The boat comes standard with four 90-amp batteries-housed directly ahead of the engine compartment underneath the pilothouse sole-and shorepower wiring.

The boat also came standard with basic sailing instruments-except a wind meter-and all were still working on the boat we sailed. A wheel-mounted autopilot was installed in the pilothouse. Most owners will want to upgrade to more modern instruments.

The standard deck hardware was satisfactory, in our opinion. Theres a small bowsprit, and our test boat carried a 33-pound Bruce anchor. The anchor locker offers plenty of room for adequate rode. The boat we tested had all chain rode and a windlass. Second and third anchors would have to be stowed in cockpit lockers.

As we noted, the sidedecks and toe-rail are acceptable, being skinny only at the back edge of the pilothouse, but testers did have a problem climbing up on top of the pilothouse-something that you would not do often anyway. The boarding ladder at the canoe stern could be a challenge for some, since theres so little deck space back there, but its do-able.

We were pleasantly surprised by the sailing ability of the LM32. With its pilothouse and canoe stern, you might expect it to sail like a motor sailor, but its nimble and relatively quick, much like a conventional modern sloop.

Conditions for our test sails were 8- to 10-knot winds, and later 10 to 14 knots winds, in relatively flat water, so we sailed with a full main and the 150-percent jib. Both Dacron sails were in excellent shape, of recent vintage. The LM32 sailed nearly to hull speed in the light air and definitely to hull speed in the heavier air.

She came about quickly and tacked easily through 90 degrees. Off the wind, she did very well on close and beam reaches, slowing down only when the wind went more than 120-degrees apparent. You wouldnt need a reef in the main until about 15 knots. Though narrow, the LM32 is a pretty stable boat.

Testers found steering from the pilothouse to be tricky. The sheets and other sail controls are all in the cockpit, behind the pilothouse, so the helmsman has to leave the helm to handle the sails or depend on crew.

The boat can be sailed from the cockpit, using the attachable tiller, but visibility is poor from the cockpit seats-the helmsman would have to stand up to steer the boat. For cruising, the autopilot would ease this problem, but most experienced sailors would have to adjust to the pilothouse.

LM boat owners seem to hold on to their boats for a long time. At presstime, 15 LMs were listed for sale in Europe, but only one was listed in the U.S. And the only boat sold in the U.S. in the previous year that we could find was actually exported to Europe. Prices varied from $43,000 to $73,000, which we think is very expensive for this size boat.

The appeal of LM boats is definitely in their appearance. If you like a pilothouse and the idea of a canoe stern, this boat is worth considering. Its well-made and sails well, better than most motorsailers we know. We would be hesitant to take one offshore (though a number have made long passages), but it would be a good coastal cruiser.

Good morning Recently I’ve bought a LM 32, the previous owner give me a very short documentation, thus I have some doubts. 1) How disconnect the whell steering for pilot with free tiller. 2) Do you Know if tfis LM 32 has black water reservoir? Thanks a lot

1) In the pilot house just left of the electrical switches is a T-bar to pull. This will disconnect the steering wheel. Reconnecting can be tricky, since both have to be well aligned. 2) Yes in the floor of the V-birth in the bow.

Happy sailing!

Dear Bart, These problems are solved, now I have another with the steering unit because has too much play. Do you know where can I shop ones? Thanks a lot.

I’ve had my LM 32 since the late 1980’s and sailed this boat through some of the roughest weather the Great Lakes could dish out with surprising safety. So far there have been no major malfunctions ! True it has been stored inside and well maintained, but frankly I’m impressed !

This is definitely a couple’s boat, and finding living or sleeping space for four people would be a push.

The cockpit table folds and tucks into a dedicated slot in the stern (left). Great Lakes sailors will like the warmth and security that the pilothouse affords (above). The Rig

The rig is a conventional, single-spreader masthead sloop. The chainplates are close to the deckhouse, so the sidedecks are adequately wide, except at the back edge of the pilothouse, where it is a squeeze to get through.

A rigid boom-vang was standard for the LM32 mainsail, making up some for the lack of a traveller. A 150-percent furling genoa also was standard; smaller sails and a spinnaker were options. The boat we test sailed had only the standard main and 150, but had recently added a “stack pack” for mainsail handling.

Anyone buying a saltwater LM will want to scrutinize the rigging and chainplates carefully for corrosion. The boat we tested was a freshwater boat with zero rig issues after 28 years.

The boat comes standard with four 90-amp batteries—housed directly ahead of the engine compartment underneath the pilothouse sole—and shorepower wiring.

The boat also came standard with basic sailing instruments—except a wind meter—and all were still working on the boat we sailed. A wheel-mounted autopilot was installed in the pilothouse. Most owners will want to upgrade to more modern instruments.

The standard deck hardware was satisfactory, in our opinion. There’s a small bowsprit, and our test boat carried a 33-pound Bruce anchor. The anchor locker offers plenty of room for adequate rode. The boat we tested had all chain rode and a windlass. Second and third anchors would have to be stowed in cockpit lockers.

As we noted, the sidedecks and toe-rail are acceptable, being skinny only at the back edge of the pilothouse, but testers did have a problem climbing up on top of the pilothouse—something that you would not do often anyway. The boarding ladder at the canoe stern could be a challenge for some, since there’s so little deck space back there, but it’s do-able.

We were pleasantly surprised by the sailing ability of the LM32. With its pilothouse and canoe stern, you might expect it to sail like a motor sailor, but it’s nimble and relatively quick, much like a conventional modern sloop.

Conditions for our test sails were 8- to 10-knot winds, and later 10 to 14 knots winds, in relatively flat water, so we sailed with a full main and the 150-percent jib. Both Dacron sails were in excellent shape, of recent vintage. The LM32 sailed nearly to hull speed in the light air and definitely to hull speed in the heavier air.

She came about quickly and tacked easily through 90 degrees. Off the wind, she did very well on close and beam reaches, slowing down only when the wind went more than 120-degrees apparent. You wouldn’t need a reef in the main until about 15 knots. Though narrow, the LM32 is a pretty stable boat.

Testers found steering from the pilothouse to be tricky. The sheets and other sail controls are all in the cockpit, behind the pilothouse, so the helmsman has to leave the helm to handle the sails or depend on crew.

The boat can be sailed from the cockpit, using the attachable tiller, but visibility is poor from the cockpit seats—the helmsman would have to stand up to steer the boat. For cruising, the autopilot would ease this problem, but most experienced sailors would have to adjust to the pilothouse.

LM boat owners seem to hold on to their boats for a long time. At presstime, 15 LMs were listed for sale in Europe, but only one was listed in the U.S. And the only boat sold in the U.S. in the previous year that we could find was actually exported to Europe. Prices varied from $43,000 to $73,000, which we think is very expensive for this size boat.

The appeal of LM boats is definitely in their appearance. If you like a pilothouse and the idea of a canoe stern, this boat is worth considering. It’s well-made and sails well, better than most motorsailers we know. We would be hesitant to take one offshore (though a number have made long passages), but it would be a good coastal cruiser.

Description.

Rare 32' Pilothouse sailboat.

Danish craftsmanship and excellent sea keeping ability are a couple of the highlights of this pocket cruiser.

Complete list of standard equipment plus Radar, GPS, auto helm, Bimini Top and cockpit cover. Auxiliary power furnished by a reliable Yanmar 27hp diesel. 

The original owners used her extensively and enjoyed cruising the inter-coastal waterway. The current owners day boat and cruise Narraganset Bay. 

Eribelle’s cockpit is sizable,deep and comfortable. There are bench seats on each side of the cockpit, and a large fold-out table easily can seat six. 

There are lockers under each of the bench seats—propane tanks on the port side—and a huge locker under the cockpit sole.

Going below you enter the pilot house. On the port side of the pilothouse is a compact galley, with a two-burner propane stove and a small sink. The front-loading refrigerator is underneath the stove, and storage drawers extend all the way outboard to the hull. To starboard is the helm with the chart table immediately ahead of the wheel. A raised captain’s seat and a second fold-up seat that slides out so two people can share the helm. A wood steering wheel is immediately ahead, and engine controls, the electrical panel, and sailing instruments are directly in front of the helmsman. The pilothouse’s front windows have windshield wipers, and the front center window opens up for ventilation. A sliding hatch above the wheel and seat allows the helmsman to stand up for a good view of the sails, deck, and seas.

The pilothouse steps down into the saloon, which has a settee on the port side and a dinette/double-berth to starboard. Forward of the saloon is the head to starboard, with a hanging locker opposite. The head also has a teak grating above the sump, making it possible to shower in the head. Fixed ports on each side offer lighting.

 Forward of the head is the V-berth

110v and 12v systems.

(3) House batteries

(1) Engine battery

Shore power conection

Battery Charger

12v interior and exterior lights.

Yanmar 3GM 27HP with sail drive. Located under the pilothouse floor. Easily accessible with fiberglass sound box.

  • Manual head with holding tank.
  • Pressure H&C water
  • Manual bilge pump

The rig is a single-spreader masthead sloop. The chainplates are close to the deckhouse, so the sidedecks are adequately wide. At the top of the rudder-stock is an attachment spot for the removable tiller, which can be used if you want to sail from the cockpit rather than from the pilothouse. The wheel steering in the pilothouse has a mechanical disconnect so the tiller moves freely.

At the forward end of the bench seats on each side are the halyard and reefing lines, which run inside a channel on the side of the pilothouse and terminate in cam cleats in front of stainless  winches.

The main sheet has a single cam-cleat attachment point at the back edge of the pilothouse, and the sheet hangs down into the cockpit.

Main sail and furling Jib.

Excellent visibility in the pilot house with windshield wipers and center opening windshield. Large hatch over helm for ventilation and added viewing. 

standard equipment, including lifelines, pulpits, speedometer, depthsounder, boarding ladders, anchor and rode, fenders, fire extinguishers, and even dishes and cutlery.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Single and Bilge keels. Similar to LM 30.

Description

The LM 32 is a Danish quality sailboat that has achieved great recognition in many countries around the world. Next, no matter which Danish port you visit, you will see an LM. LM 32 was designed in 1977 as stated on the LM club's website: The distinguishing feature of Bent Juul Andersen's LM boats is that the boats got sailboat hulls with a sailboat drive on the engine and a short fin keel, and you can say that the superstructure for the LM 26-28-30-32 motor sailers got a "face lift" and a slightly more modern appearance. With a new constructor, they began to focus more on the boats' sailing characteristics, but still tried to keep the comfort from Palle Mortensen's drawings and boats for some boats. They wanted to bet on both motor yachts for the cozy family trips and sailings, as well as sailboats for the slightly more competitive and speed-loving sailors. That they tried to stick to Palle's ideas and the comfort of his boats can clearly be seen in the LM 26-28-30 and 32 with a motorboat superstructure, while the other productions all appear as actual sailing boats. LM 30 and LM 32 appear as direct further developments of LM 28. The spaciousness is significantly larger and this has made it possible to create a Ueller corner sofa arrangement. It has also made it possible to use the accommodation bulkhead between the foredeck and main cabin to support the mast. Last but not least, these two boats have had the bulkhead attached to the wheelhouse roof, which frees the aft deck from loose lines and rope ends during sailing. This LM 32 is equipped with almost everything you can imagine, to provide a comfortable sailing, and not least a stay in the ports. Everything has been kept nicely and appears with wear that is expected for its age.

Bemærk: Havneplads kan anvises/overtages i forb. med køb! LM 32 er en Dansk kvalitets sejlbåd, der har opnået stor anerkendelse i rigtigt mange lande verden over. Næste ligegyldigt hvilken Dansk havn du besøger vil du se en LM. LM 32 blev designet i 1977 som der står på LM klubbens hjemmeside: Kendetegnet for Bent Juul Andersens LM både er, at bådene fik sejlbådsskrog med sejlbådsdrev på motoren og kort finnekøl og man kan sige, at overbygningen for motorsejlerne LM 26-28- 30-32 fik en ”ansigtsløftning” og lidt mere moderne udseende. Med ny konstruktør begyndte man at satse mere på bådenes sejlegenskaber, men forsøgte alligevel for nogles bådes vedkommende at beholde komforten fra Palle Mortensen tegninger og både. Man ville gerne satse på både motorsejlere til de hyggelige familieture og sejladser, samt sejlbåde til de lidt mere konkurrence - og fartglade sejlere. At man forsøgte at holde fast i Palles ideer og hans bådes komfort kan tydelig ses hos LM 26-28-30 og 32 med en motorbåds-overbygning medens de øvrige produktioner alle fremstår som egentlig sejlbåde. LM 30 og LM 32 fremstår som direkte videreudviklinger af LM 28. Rummeligheden er markant større og det har gjort det muligt at lave en Ueller vinkelhjørnet sofaarrangement. Det har også gjort det muligt at bruge apteringsskottet mellem forkahyt og hovedkahyt til at understøtte masten. Sidst, men ikke mindst, så har disse to både fået fæstnet storskødet på styrhustaget, hvilket frigør agterdækket for løst liggende liner og tovender under sejlads. Denne LM 32 er udstyret med næsten alt du kan forestille dig, for at give en komfortabel sejlads, og ikke mindst ophold i havnene. Alt er holdt pænt og fremstår med en for alderen forventelig slitage. Båden er søsat f.g. i 1980.

Detta är en privat skapad annons för LM 32, årsmodell 1980. Från möbelfabrik till global ledare - den fängslande historien om LM. Ursprungligen grundad som Lunderskov Møbelfabrik år 1940 har LM Boats utvecklats till en framstående aktör inom båtproduktion. Det hela började med framgångsrik tillverkning av träbarnmöbler. När efterfrågan ökade övergick LM Boats till en dedikerad fabrik i Møllegade, Lunderskov, Danmark, på 1950-talet. Under tiden började LM Glasfiber producera olika båtar, inklusive en unik husbåt. Men år 1978 insåg de potentialen i den växande vindenergiindustrin och göt sin första vindturbinblad. Efter energikriserna på 1970-talet omfamnade Danmark alternativa energikällor och upplevde en snabb tillväxt inom vindturbinproduktionen. LM Glasfiber grep möjligheten och inriktade sig helt på tillverkning av vindturbinblad, vilket innebar att båtproduktionen avslutades.

Dit is een privat advertentie voor LM 32, Bouwjaar 1980. Van meubelfabriek tot wereldleider - het boeiende verhaal van LM. Oorspronkelijk opgericht als Lunderskov Møbelfabrik in 1940, is LM Boats uitgegroeid tot een prominente speler in de bootproductie. Het begon allemaal met hun succesvolle productie van houten kindermeubilair. Naarmate de vraag toenam, maakte LM Boats de overstap naar een eigen fabriek in Møllegade, Lunderskov, Denemarken, in de jaren 50. Ondertussen begon LM Glasfiber met het produceren van verschillende boten, waaronder een unieke woonboot. Maar in 1978 erkenden ze het potentieel van de opkomende windenergiesector en goten ze hun eerste windturbineblad. Na de energiecrises van de jaren 70 omarmde Denemarken alternatieve energiebronnen, wat leidde tot een snelle groei in de productie van windturbines. LM Glasfiber greep deze kans en richtte zich volledig op de productie van windturbinebladen, waardoor hun bootproductieactiviteiten werden stopgezet. Voor aanvullende informatie, zoals een gedetailleerde bootbeschrijving, complete lijst met bootuitrusting of meer foto's voor Zeilboten LM 32 - neem contact op met de verkoper via Verzend e-mail of als de verkoper het telefoonnummer heeft verstrekt, kan dit ook gebruikt.

Die LM 32 ist ein dänisches Qualitätssegelboot, das in vielen Ländern der Welt große Anerkennung gefunden hat. Als nächstes werden Sie, egal welchen dänischen Hafen Sie besuchen, ein LM sehen. LM 32 wurde 1977 entworfen, wie auf der Website des LM-Clubs angegeben: Das Unterscheidungsmerkmal der LM-Boote von Bent Juul Andersen besteht darin, dass die Boote Segelbootrümpfe mit Segelbootantrieb am Motor und einem kurzen Flossenkiel hatten, und man kann sagen, dass der Aufbau für die Motorsegler LM 26-28-30-32 einen hatte „Facelift“ und ein etwas moderneres Erscheinungsbild. Mit einem neuen Konstrukteur konzentrierten sie sich mehr auf die Segeleigenschaften der Boote, versuchten aber dennoch, bei einigen Booten den Komfort von Palle Mortensens Zeichnungen und Booten beizubehalten. Sie wollten sowohl auf Motoryachten für gemütliche Familienausflüge und Segeltörns als auch auf Segelboote für die etwas wettbewerbsintensiveren und geschwindigkeitsliebenderen Segler setzen. Dass man versuchte, an Palles Ideen und dem Komfort seiner Boote festzuhalten, ist an den LM 26-28-30 und 32 mit Motorbootaufbau deutlich zu erkennen, während die anderen Produktionen alle als echte Segelboote erscheinen. LM 30 und LM 32 erscheinen als direkte Weiterentwicklungen von LM 28. Das großzügige Raumangebot ist deutlich größer und ermöglicht die Umsetzung einer Ueller-Ecksofa-Anordnung. Dadurch ist es auch möglich, das Unterkunftsschott zwischen Vordeck und Hauptkabine zur Stützung des Mastes zu nutzen. Zu guter Letzt wurde bei diesen beiden Booten das Schott am Steuerhausdach befestigt, was das Achterdeck beim Segeln von losen Leinen und Seilenden befreit. Diese LM 32 ist mit fast allem ausgestattet, was Sie sich vorstellen können, um ein komfortables Segeln und nicht zuletzt einen Aufenthalt in den Häfen zu ermöglichen. Alles ist gut erhalten und weist dem Alter entsprechende Gebrauchsspuren auf. Gestartet 1980 Dimensions: Length : 9.75 meters Length waterline : 8.50 meters Width : 3.25 meters Weight : 6,300 Kg.

From a furniture factory to a global leader - the captivating story of LM. Originally founded as Lunderskov Møbelfabrik in 1940, LM Boats has evolved into a prominent player in boat production. It all began with their successful manufacturing of wooden children's furniture. As demand grew, LM Boats transitioned to a proper factory in Møllegade, Lunderskov, Denmark, in the 1950s. Meanwhile, LM Glasfiber started by producing various boats, including a unique houseboat. However, in 1978, they recognized the potential of the emerging wind energy industry and cast their first wind turbine blade. Denmark's embrace of alternative energy sources after the 1970s energy crises led to a boom in wind turbine production. Seizing the opportunity, LM Glasfiber pivoted to manufacturing wind turbine blades exclusively and ceased their boat production operations.
