Accommodations
- As with most Sabre's Sabrena has a lovely interior that is warm and inviting yet bright at the same time. She has multiple opening hatches and portlights for excellent ventilation as well as light. She has beautiful teak cabinetry and joinery finished in a satin varnish. Teak battens on the ceiling as well as the teak and holly sole also add warmth to her interior.
- The 38 MKII has a well laid out interior with two separate private sleeping cabins but still offers a large and accommodating salon and galley area. Starting forward is the first cabin with centerline V-berth, shelving outboard, drawers under the berth, seat and vanity with sink to port, and hanging locker to starboard. Overhead hatch and opening portlights offer plenty of light and ventilation. As you walk aft into the salon you will see she has a settee to starboard, closed and open shelving outboard, small custom table can be added to this side of the salon with 2 leaves. To port is the L-shaped dinette with filler it can create an addition double berth. Here there is open and closed shelving outboard as well as a large bulkhead mounted dining table that tucks up and out of the way when not in use. Lovely medium blue fabric throughout the vessel with curved corner cushions for comfortable lounging. Aft of the starboard settee is the aft facing Navigation station. This is a great configuration as one can communicate with the skipper in the cockpit. Aft of the Navigation station is her large head with vanity, head and shower area. Not quite a separate shower stall but close as it has its own area with seat and opening portlight, removable teak floor boards, closed storage outboard and under the vanity. Opposite the Navigation station is the fully equipped L-shaped galley. Aft of the galley is the entrance into the second private cabin. The aft cabin offers a double berth, cabinets outboard, seat, additional engine access, ceiling strips line the hull sides as well as an opening portlight making for a warm and inviting cabin.
- Centerline steps lead to her large T-shaped cockpit with helm pod on pedestal. Catbird seats on the aft pulpit port and starboard. Propane storage locker as well as a starboard locker for fenders and extra gear. Updated dodger with stainless steel side handrails help one to her wide side decks and easy access to the fore deck.
- Sabre has modernized their design and at the same time their sailboats still have a traditional look about them. Modern underbody makes not only a nice cruising vessel but one that is very competitive as well. It is a nice feature to have a builder here in the US that is always available to answer questions or supply parts if needed.
