Dear Luger Enthusiats: Please excuse the long service disruption our website has experienced. In the space of
a year, three web hosts closed their bandwidths - and twice this website recovered. The third closure came without
warning, and hit hard. I have been rebuilding the website from scratch, and it's a slow process.
Some links have been removed; broken links will soon be restored (hopefully); and a few pages could use a little
updating. Your patience during this recovery/restoration period has been appreciated. The Luger Sailboat Mooring
will do its best to finish its transition to a new "web presence" as soon as possible. Thank you.

The Luger Sailboat Mooring at www.lugerboats.com is the reference website for Luger Boats. Originally created in 1999 as a personal homepage to find other Luger owners, the website has evolved to include an extensive resource of photographs and diagrams, catalog descriptions & specifications, original articles, and many other useful links.
Luger Industries, Inc. began selling wooden kit boats in 1952, pioneered the all-fiberglass kit boat market in 1959, and was soon considered "The World's Largest Manufacturer of Kit Boats". Luger Boats closed for business in 1987, after 35 successful years in the marine industry.

If you have diagrams or instructions and can scan your material into a JPEG or GIF image file, your information could be valuable to another Luger owner. If you have documents to share, please e-mail your material to lugerboats@yahoo.com.
Consider contributing! When you realize the "youngest" Luger documents are now over 20 years old (...and much of it is over 30), it's not surprising some material on this website is "less than ideal". The Luger Sailboat Mooring will post the best images available - but if you are able to replace a current diagram with something more legible, please contact us.

The Luger Sailboat Mooring is the internet's oldest reference website for Luger Boats, and has become an established resource for Luger sailboat information. I am not a company spokesperson; but rather, a Luger owner like yourself, but with an opportunity to share my information. Since many owners rely on this site as if it represented the company, I will endeavor to respect that trust. The data on The Luger Sailboat Mooring was carefully researched before publication - nevertheless, I cannot be held responsible for incorrect or misleading information. Content is provided solely as a helpful guide.
The Luger Sailboat Mooring encourages suggestions for improving the website. In 1999 this website was my initiation into webpage design and I'd like it to remain as my flagship, but will need your help to do it.
