The LM 28 represents a significant evolutionary step for the Danish builder LM Glasfiber, marking the transition from the traditional, long-keeled motor sailer aesthetic of the iconic LM 27 toward a more modern, performance-oriented cruising yacht. Introduced in the early 1980s and designed by Bent Juul Andersen, the LM 28 was intended to bridge the gap for sailors who demanded the protection of a wheelhouse without sacrificing the pointing ability and responsiveness of a contemporary fin-keel sloop. While it retains the signature rounded stern and robust scantlings synonymous with the yard, the 28 features a more efficient underwater profile that distinguishes it from its more sedentary predecessors.
