With a protected wheelhouse, dependable diesel engine, and a surprisingly capable sail plan, this Scandinavian-built motorsailer offers an ideal solution for boaters who want year-round versatility and comfort without sacrificing sailing performance. The LM 30 is a true hybrid — not just a sailboat with a motor, or a trawler with a mast. It’s a thoughtfully engineered vessel that moves confidently under sail and offers reliable power when the wind dies or when current and timing matter more than tacking angles. With a moderate displacement hull and skeg-hung rudder, she tracks well, feels solid underfoot, and can carry the gear you need for extended cruising without losing her balance or responsiveness. The interior helm station, protected cockpit, and full canvas enclosure make shoulder-season and winter cruising not just possible but enjoyable. Whether you’re exploring Desolation Sound or hopping between Gulf Islands in variable weather, you’ll appreciate the ability to stay warm and dry while underway. And when the sun is out, open the top hatch, fold away the enclosure, and enjoy full visibility and airflow from the helm. Wide side decks make moving forward secure and easy, though all sail controls are led aft, allowing you to stay safely in the cockpit while adjusting trim. The layout is smart, functional, and built for real-world cruising in varied conditions. Currently located on Vancouver Island and available at a new lower price. This is a rare opportunity to own a high-quality motorsailer that’s equally at home in tight harbours or open coastal passages. If you’re looking for a rugged, comfortable, and capable vessel that’s built for the PNW and beyond, this LM 30 deserves a closer look.
