Broker Remarks
The well-known LM 27 needs no introduction - this hugely successful and well-built double ender has become a modern classic. A proper little motorsailer with good performance under sail or power. The shallow draft makes her ideal for exploring the creeks and rivers of the East Coast and beyond. This boat has been exceptionally well maintained, and a better example would be hard to find. "Stray" has the added advantage of a mast lowering kit and diesel cabin heating. She is well worth viewing. A berth on the river Medway is also available subject to separate negotiation.
