Hanseboot premieres IV: Luffe 3.6
Rare guest: After 25 years of absence, the Danish Luffe shipyard is exhibiting its latest and smallest model, the 3.6

The Luffe 3.6 looks classy, with its dark blue hull sparkling in the headlights. However, it is only when you take a closer look that you realise it has a glittering metallic paint finish. The unusual appearance is a result of the complex construction process, as the slender Dane is made of epoxy resin and can be ordered with a robust two-component paint finish straight from the shipyard.

The individual colour scheme is just one of countless options - the crew around shipyard founder Oluf "Luffe" Jørgensen can realise almost any owner's wish that matches the sporty and easy-to-handle basic concept of the boat. This also includes the solid teak interior of the boat on display. It not only looks classy and elegant, but is also even better finished than the prototype we sailed.

Other points have also been improved. For example, the forward berth has been moved slightly aft, which has increased the footwell, and the shipyard has also modified the toilet room. The shower is now much easier to use. A new rudder blade will follow in winter.

However, so much care has its price. At 275,500 euros, the Dane is not for bargain hunters. The beautiful lines and theYACHT 5/2014 However, the proven sailing characteristics are worth a visit - after all, boat shows are also a place to dream.

Luffe 3.6 can be seen in Hall B6, Stand C 109.
