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. Bring offers! "Gypsy II" is presented in a lovely condition and is ready for the season ahead.
