The Sabre 28 is an attractive, well-built, well-finished boat. Despite her modern underbody, she is a conservative design, built in Maine, USA. This popular Sabre is an excellent pocket cruiser, ideal as a starter boat for a young family or a retirement boat for someone who wants to single-hand. The spacious interior, with fold-up table gives the feel of a boat much larger. With a V-berth, quarter berth and two full length settees she sleeps 5 comfortably. (The quarter berth also serves as excellent space for storage.) The deck is in good shape and is easy to move around. With a large cockpit this boat is comfortable under way. With her fin keel and spade rudder, she sails like a Sonar.
The Sabre 28, inducted into 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. FELICITY continues to bring enjoyment to her owner as a weekend cruiser and daysailer.
