The LM 30 is a well-regarded Danish motor sailer, known for its high build quality, safe cruising ability, and comfortable accommodations. Built by LM Yachts (LM Yachting A/S)—a company that began in the 1970s and specialized in robust Scandinavian-style motor sailers—the LM 30 is one of their larger and more seaworthy models.

• Deck Saloon Design: Offers panoramic visibility from the inside helm station—ideal for all-weather cruising.
• Twin Steering Positions: Interior and exterior helms for flexibility in adverse weather.
• Strong Motor-Sailing Performance: With a reliable inboard engine, it performs well under power, unlike many pure sailboats.
• Comfortable Accommodation:
   
  • Forward cabin with V-berth
  • Spacious saloon with galley and dining
  • Enclosed head/shower
  • 5–6 berth capacity

• Sailing Performance: Better than you’d expect from a motor sailer, though not a racer. Performs best in moderate conditions.
• Engine Reliance: Most LM 30 owners cruise under power in light airs and enjoy the security of a powerful diesel engine in challenging conditions.
• Stability & Safety: Deep cockpit, high freeboard, and sturdy construction make it suitable for coastal and some offshore cruising.
