LUFFE 44 – Hull no. 1 | New engine 2026 | Fully refitted | A unique opportunity to own an icon This is not just a sailing yacht – it is a piece of Scandinavian sailing history. A very rare opportunity is now available to acquire Luffe 44 hull number 1, the very first boat built in this classic series from the Danish yard Luffe Yachts. Do you want to own one of the archipelago's most beautiful sailing yachts, sail away from most things in the channel, or take up racing in style? Then the Luffe 44 is an obvious choice. The elegant design is no accident. The Luffe 44 combines timeless Scandinavian styling with documented racing qualities. When the model was launched she was first boat over the line in the classic offshore race Sjælland Rundt three years running (1983–1985) – an achievement that laid the foundation for the model's legendary reputation among sailors. That this particular boat is also hull number 1, the very first Luffe 44 built, makes her a unique opportunity for anyone who appreciates both sailing performance and boating history. This boat has been carefully refitted with great attention to detail and has undergone extensive upgrades ahead of the 2026 season. Among other things she has been fitted with a completely new Craftman CM3.27 diesel of 27 hp, a repacked S-drive, a new S-drive bellows and a refurbished engine room. The topsides have been resprayed in white two-pack paint and all exterior woodwork has been carefully varnished with 6–8 coats of two-pack varnish, which gives a finish of the very highest class. The refurbished teak deck is in very fine condition and, together with the high level of finish, means the boat turns heads in every harbour. The high level of equipment, the extensive refit and the unique history make this an example that very rarely comes on the market.

The Luffe 44 is a boat that is rarely for sale – and the chance to acquire hull number 1 is rarer still. For anyone looking for a classic performance cruiser with a documented racing history, extensive refits and a top-class finish, this is an opportunity that is unlikely to come round again.
