What is this boat?

[jsykes]

Can anyone tell me about this boat?

I think it is called a Moen or Møn 27? and is built in either Denmark or Sweden. I took this picture of it recently in Korsør Marina in Denmark where her owner showed me around. I was looking forward to reading more about this boat on returning to UK but all my internet searches show no mention of this boat.

If you click on the picture it will open up a larger version in a new window.

I've asked on the Swedish forum, I'll copy here if I get any answers.

You could have posted the big picture to begin with. It looks a bit like an LM 27

Too much bow flare for an LM, but very similar concept.

You could always contact an owner here, Mr Schutt may even be the guy you talked to:

is it an albin?

Not the Albin 25 motorsailor anyway. There seems to be a builder called Møn alright but can't find much reference.

These guys own them, I'm sure one of them speaks good english and could help you?

 

[VicS]

Difficult to make out the shape of the bow because of the shadows but I have found pictures of the lm 27 and the lm 24 now so I agree its neither of those but there are a number of similarities

Seems it may not be a Moen 27:

They don't call me good for nothing!

it's a Winga 25

This guy will probably answer all

Well done! Another one here -

you can see the label on the port gunwhale.

If it is anything like the LM the interior joinery is very clever and well finished - hidden tables and lockers all over the place, all folding away to give lots of space. LM was originally a furniture manufacturer, and this Winga looks a very similar layout.

By all accounts not a very good sailing boat, but with a 28hp engine that should not slow it down!

Great. Many thanks to you all for the help.

And finally the Swedish forum came up with the same answer! just goes to show how many people use the ybw one.
But here it is any way...
The boat in your photo is a Winga 25, made in Sweden.
I had some help from another person on this forum.
