Since 1973 the joy of sailing and the ambition to create superior quality boats has been the main charge of the cult like respect for Oluf Jørgensen and Luffe Yachts.
In 1983 the Luffe 44 was introduced, the fastest boat in the Sjælland Rundt Race (Danish boat race around the island of Zealand) that year as well as in 1984 and 1985.
Since then, Luffe has developed and produced Yachts measuring 36, 40, 43, 45, 46, 48 and 54 feet.
All yachts have been constructed with regard to each buyers individual desires for accomodation and detailed arrangements.
As an employee Oluf Jørgensen started in 1963 building elegant Dragons in wood and he continued on his own in 1973 with the production of the skerry cruiser Ylva.
The interest for these slim, fast-sailing boats made Oluf Jørgensen further develop this into a new concept, which could offer the sailing family the desired space below deck.
In 1979 Oluf Jørgensen thus created the Luffe 37 which today forms a considerable part of the basis for one of the most successful shipyards in Denmark.
Oluf's passion for slim, fast, sailboats gave rise to the Luffe concept.
pleaseant as possible with all the opertunities of home - just smaller measures. This is why the smallest Luffe yacht is 36 feet.
The intent has always been that the dimensions in the simple cabins and at the working zones - pantry, navigationcenter and bathroom - should be roomy and suited for a family stay of some duration. Furtermore, the textile fabrics are to be of such quality that they are resistant to the hard life at sea and at the same time meet any desires for specific colors and patterns as regards to design.
When all these ideas are combined in the Luffe yacht it is like entering a whole new world of experience for the senses and of intense atmosphere.

Both standing and running rig er designed to fit the Luffe. From this you can either trim the boat to higher speeds or relax and know that a forgotten halyard will not end in mast damage.
Under the water line a Luffe hides more then just beautiful lines. The keel is produced from easy maintenance lead and the rudder shaft is hefty aluminium, which keeps the risk of damaging the rudder at a minimum even at heavy strain.
This makes the Luffe boat last years into the future. This holds for all Luffe boats, since Oluf Jørgensen always designes and builds. He has put his soul into every Luffe since the model of the first Luffe 37.
A cockpit should be well tunes and laid out when an experienced crew are to work optimally and sail the boat to its margins.
However the Luffe boats sail as racing boats, they do not handle as other racing boats. The Luffe boats can easilly be driven by two people. Halyards and winches are all close and the Luffe easilly converts the force of the wind into speed - not hard work and huge waves.
You also find approved and abundantly dimensioned winches from Frederik Andersen. The clutches can match every test you might put on them.
