Marketing Description
Beautiful example of the hugely popular LM30 Motorsailor. Built by LM Glasfiber of Denmark to a Bent Andersen design between 1977 and 1990. 'Beaumaris' was built in 1988 and has been very well maintained and upgraded by her current custodians. These upgrades include a New Volvo D1-30 diesel engine in 2016, a Sleipner bow thruster in 2024, a new cockpit canopy in 2023 and a new Garmin touch screen plotter in 2022 to name but a few. If you are looking for a comfortable, capable passage maker to explore the UK and beyond, then look no further. You will be delighted by the quality of both the vessel and the interior fit out, the practical and generous layout and more importantly, her ease of sailing. This is an ideal couples or single hander vessel.

Construction
Solidly built GRP hull with twin keels and a central mini skeg to protect the saildrive unit. The keels are toed fore and aft to provide aerofoiled effect and minimise drag when sailing. They also allow the owner to berth in drying out areas and extend the chosen crusing grounds. The underwater areas are copper coated which minimises growth and maintenance. This has been touched in over the years.
The topsides and superstructure are white hi-gloss gelcoat with the hull to deck join finished in a protective black rubber D-fender. The side decks and foredeck are finished in a grey non slip. Moving forward is safe and easy thanks to strategically placed teak grab rails and stainless steel stanchions with double set of coated guardwires. Stainless steel bow and stern rails enhance security. Large cockpit with seating port and starboard. Extending cockpit table folds into a recess when not in use. Varnished tiller can be easily removed when in harbour. The cockpit is kept dry thanks to a brand new cockpit canopy.
