Sabre 386

SEPTEMBER SONG is a beautiful example of the popular Sabre 386 that has been exceptionally maintained by her original owners who hold a USCG master’s license and over 30 years experience sailing Maine, Coastal New England, Nova Scotia and the Canadian Maritimes.  She has been sailed a few short months in Maine each summer and stored inside winters at either Morris Yachts, Hinckley Yachts or Front Street Shipyard.  Her continuous care shows both inside and out and she needs to be seen to fully appreciate her excellent condition.

 

SEPTEMBER SONG is set up for easy short handed sailing with her furling boom, self tacking jib and electric halyard winch.   Designed by Jim Taylor with the Sabre design team, she is a moderate displacement cruising boat that is a joy to sail and ready for her next owners to enjoy.  Currently sitting inside heated storage she is easy to see as she is made ready for the coming season.
