Pilothouse KAIROS

BEAUTIFUL LM30 JUST LISTED

"KAIROS" a LM 30, is a double-ended Scandinavian motorsailer, which means that it can be propelled by either sails or engine, or both. This gives it more flexibility and reliability than a pure sailboat, especially in light winds or adverse currents. The LM30 although clearly a motor-sailer is actually a surprisingly good sailing boat.

They were designed from the outset to be easy to handle, with all lines led back to the well protected cockpit. KAIROS sailing performance comes from the design which includes a fin keel hull, skeg-hung rudder, wheel or tiller steering and a well-matched sails package. But for motoring, she has a very economical Bukh diesel engine with saildrive, that can push the boat along up to 7 knots under power. This is a moderate-to-heavy displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Owners have reviewed this model and commented ".... as a sailing boat she is faultless" and "... under power she is completely obedient, able to manoeuvre with very little way and unaffected by wind direction"

The side decks are wide enough to move fore and aft easily, although anchor and mooring line handling are virtually the only reason to need to go forward, with all sail controls led aft.

The hatch over the interior helm position opens, both for fresh air, and so that if desired you can stand at the wheel with your head out for a complete 360degree view (although the visibility from the inside of the wheelhouse is already very good). A full camper' style cockpit cover fitted, which folds neatly away under the lip of the aft end of the wheelhouse. There are so many unique design qualities that are rare in today’s production boats. It would be a pleasure to get you on board and go over this special vessel with you. Please call or email and lets reserve your viewing.
