1988 Sabre 38 MKII

• Mostly Great Lakes sailed (Chesapeake since 2014)
• Exquisite condition; lightly used (average 63 engine hrs/ year!)
• Extensive continual upgrading and refit;
• Full/updated Raymarine electronics suite
• Private owner and guest staterooms;
• Beautifully varnished teak (on deck and below)
• AC/heat; refrigeration; windlass; more...
• "Mid-vintage" Sabre (the best model-years...)

The Sabre 38 MKII is well known for her combination of excellent sailing abilities AND comfortable cruising amenities (along with durable/quality construction and exquisite appointments) -- and not to mention classic good looks!  She is set up to sleep seven with two separate sleeping cabins with a large open salon, functional galley and large nav station.   The keel/centerboard configuration offers the best of both worlds - of cruising versatility coupled with upwind and downwind performance.

With her extensive/continual upgrading and meticulous caretaking, SABRENA stands out among the many Sabres currently afloat. As such, she represents a superb opportunity to own a beautiful classic American cruising boat that is well maintained, fast, and fun to sail.  Sailed during short seasons in freshwater on the Great Lakes - and on the Chesapeake Bay (brackish water) since 2014 - SABRENA’s (Chesapeake) racing accolades include top finishes in the Governor’s Cup and Screwpile Cruising-Class.  Shorthanded sail-handling is simplified via the Dutchman mainsail flaking system - and a Harken genoa furler (with genoa-sheeting to oversized self-tailing primary winches).

• Raymarine electronics suite with AIS Transmit/Receive (2020)

SABRENA’s interior is finished with satin finished teak with teak battens and a satin teak and holly cabin sole finished to support footing/grip underway.  The warm, open interior shows off her Maine artisanship and is laid out with forward and aft sleeping cabins and a big main salon, which includes the galley, nav station, dinette and settee and a large head placed sensibly aft.  The main salon can accommodate a sizeable teak dinning table, or easily converted to a lounging settee.  SABRENA includes a Lagun multi-pivot folding varnished table in the cabin as an alternative to the dinette table.

Large overhead opening hatches and opening portlights provide abundant natural light and ventilation and a Cruisair air-conditioning/heat extends the sailing season with a warm, cozy interior.  The berths are upholstered in a marine patterned navy blue.

Opening portlights have bug screens and sun screen in fwd Hatch
