Good Day! Happy early Father's Day to all of the fathers! I am looking for information regarding the Sabre line of downeast-like express boats. I did drop an email and a VM to Sabre and have not had a reply... Rather than bother the dealer I thought I would ask on my favorite Yacht Forum. I have some interest in the 38 & 42 Pictures of Yachts - Sabre 38 salon express motor yacht photos - Sabre Yachts | Sabre Yachts Sabre 42 Salon Express motor yacht photos ? Sabre Yachts, Maine | Sabre Yachts I am trying to ascertain the potential to hang/fit a RIB dink on the swim platform. I am talking about an 11', 8'6" beam, 40horse, close to 800lbs rigged and full fuel tank boat. If anyone has any comments or experience with the potential of this swim platform I am all ears. Thanks. Anything else you would like to comment on about the vessel is welcome as well.

Our Finance Director runs a 42 (does that tell you something) and he likes it much better than his previous large Ferretti. As to tenders, the Sabre has a large swimplatform already fitted thus a set of Weaver folding clips may do. Weaver Industries, Inc.: Weaver Marine Products

Having a money person chose a certain vessel and liking it better than a larger MY does say something. It tells me that there is value in the boating lifestyle and in this case that the Sabre is still on the short list. I'll look into the Weaver Industries gear, thanks. G

There were topside paint issues on some models around 2003. I sold a 2003 MKII 36 that performed well, surveyed well, and the owners are happily cruising Florida/Bahamas. I was impressed with the general quality of construction and finish work. Judy

Thanks Judy, I had heard of some topside paint issues, glad to hear more good experiences with the build quality. G

Yachtworld has a 43' Sabre with a dinghy lift system. Here is a link to the boat. You may also want to contact a Sabre dealer to see if they have an aftermarket kit available. As I recall they offered the lift systems as an option. View Boat Photos - **************

Great link, that is a good representation of what I am looking into. I will contact the dealer as recommended to discuss more details. G

We have a 38 with IPS drives By far the best boat we have ever had. The dealer here, South East Florida, is terrific as is their customer service. If you need some information from the customer point of view, send me an email. We are leaving for the Bahamas in a week or so, the third cruise aboard Proof this spring. If you need significant technical information, contact Bentley Collins at Sabre.

Dingy If you need to handle a heavy RIB with a large engine, most of the Sabre's we know about seem to like the Freedom Lift. We did not install one because of the expense.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll check out the freedom lift. Have a great summer since your spring seems to be going well G ps just looked at the freedom lift website, I have bookmarked that one!

Sabre 36 Survey & General Info?

SailingWithSons

Hello Everyone, I am hopefully soon to be the owner of a 1985 Sabre 36 center board. My primary question is if there is anything in particular I should keep an extra sharp eye out for on the survey? Any known issues with Sabre 36s in general, the center board in particular, the earlier models, etc.? The boat seems to be in very good condition overall and well kept, but obviously the survey will hopefully reveal any issues. Any other general info, advice, or wisdom is also appreciated. I am going to join some of the other Sabre forums out there, so you may see this post repeated elsewhere. THANKS!!! SwS  

I understand these were well made sailboats. A good surveyor, who is familiar with Sabre's will identify any issues.  

A friend has a Tartan 37 centerboard and I would say the centerboard has been a problem for the last ten years. It is great for upwind sailing when you need to go upwind but he keeps it up more often than not. The raising and lowering pennent has had maintenance issues. There were times when the board has been stuck up, - better than stuck down. It just seems whenever we meet he's got something to say about it. Be berwy berwy careful.  

We own an 85 Sabre 38 centerboard. The pendant was replaced 8 years ago. Centerboard is completely trouble free. Boat goes to weather like on rails with board down. The shoal draft it provides is nice. But the deep keel version has a much tighter turning radius under power...tradeoffs. High quality Spartan sea cocks, if neglected, need attention. Main Sail has a great article on the procedure. A bit of water comes down the inside of the mast via internal halyards etc and can damage the cabin sole near the base. There are ways to remedy this. Otherwise awesome high quality boat with no issues.

We purchased a Sabre 38 with centerboard three years ago, very nice sailing boat and handles rough weather and seas. The previous owner of 22 years replaced the centerboard pennant twice, first one after it broke, second time to fix his mistakes (wrong crimp on cable). I pennant was found broken yesterday. With business shutdowns, we will have to schedule haul out for repairs.
