Sabre 28-3 for sale in Bridgeport, CT United States of America

Boat Overview

The Sabre 28 is an attractive, well-built, well-finished boat. Although more costly than similar vessels, her design, construction, and finish details are well above average for a production yacht. Despite her modern underbody, she is a conservative design, conservatively hand built in Maine, USA.

The Sabre 28, inducted into the America Sailboat Hall of Fame in 2003, is neither an all-out racer nor an all-out cruiser. She is an appropriate compromise boat, strong enough to cruise with confidence and fast enough not to frustrate.

She is good-looking in a modern way, without being radical. She appeals mostly as a well-found coastal cruiser for a couple or small family.
