Description
Meticulously crafted in Maine, the Sabre 38 is a timeless blend of performance, comfort, and classic yacht design. This 1984 model stands out with its centerboard configuration – drawing just 4'3" with the board up, it’s perfect for shallow cruising grounds, yet capable offshore with a deep 8'6" board-down draft for upwind performance.
Below deck, the warm teak interior showcases Sabre’s renowned craftsmanship. The split galley layout places the stove and oven to port and the Head/Wet bath to starboard, offering excellent balance, separation of space and efficient use of storage while underway or at anchor.
Accommodations include a spacious V-berth forward, an inviting main salon with fold-down table and convertible settees,2 sleeping births in aft both port and starboard. Chart table. Spacious walk thru galley. Tons of storage, solid joinery, and practical systems make this a great liveaboard or extended cruiser.
