The Scanyacht 290 represents a refined British evolution of the iconic Danish LM 27 motorsailer. Originally designed by Palle Mortensen and based on the hull lines of the LM concept, the 290 was produced primarily by the Bridgend Boat Company and later Trident Marine in the United Kingdom between 1997 and 2009. While the original LM 27 was celebrated for its robust build and practical "deck saloon" layout, the Scanyacht 290 sought to modernize the design with a more powerful masthead sloop rig, a selfdraining cockpit, and the use of lead ballast rather than the traditional iron found in its predecessors. Despite its high build quality, it remains a rare find on the brokerage market; owner accounts within the community suggest that production numbers were extremely limited, with some sources indicating as few as six to a dozen hulls were completed before the original builders ceased trading.
