Sabre SAILING Yachts

Crafted in the Maine Tradition

Sabre worked with Jim Taylor to design a weekender with the style and elegance of a classic sailing yacht, and added to the design mandate a blending of the performance of a youthful sport boat with "grown-up" ease of handling available with today's modern sailing hardware. To merely use a size number to describe such a boat seemed inadequate, and so the name "Spirit" was chosen to better convey the very essence of this yacht.

The overhangs of the Spirit's hull convey a traditional elegance, and her nominally narrow beam allows her to sail beautifully and responsively. As is typical of all Sabre yachts, deck hardware and fittings are of the highest standards. Her carbon spar, chosen for added performance and increased stability, is provided by Hall Spars, a supplier for a quarter century. Below deck, a standard sail drive engine reduces vibration and noise and increases propulsion efficiency. Keels and rudder, both by Jim Taylor Yacht Design, offer the latest in design technology and performance.

Few sailing yachts will sail better than the Spirit. She is a fast and extremely elegant weekender that will bring back the excitement and exhilaration that you felt, the first time you tried the beautiful sport of sailing.

The Sabre Design Team focused on two main issues while creating the Sabre 386. In her interior, the aim was to provide larger, more accessible berths, more storage and comfort, and to make the Sabre 386 the most accommodating Sabre we have ever built. As for her hull, keel and rig design, she needed to be easily driven and capable of outstanding performance, yet easily managed by a small crew.

New materials used in conjunction with the latest in design technology have created an exciting new model which, like her siblings, is sure to become a modern classic. The Sabre 386 is the fifth model created by the Design Team of Sabre Yachts and Jim Taylor Yacht Design. This successful collaboration led to the award winning Sabre 362 in 1991 and continued with the Sabre 402, Sabre 452 and Sabre 426. All medium displacement yachts that are as comfortable on the race course as they are in the open ocean or on an extended cruise with family and friends.

Sabre sailing yacht hulls are built with vacuum bagged Airex PVC foam core and structural E-glass providing one of the stiffest, strongest and most dependable structures available. Sabre decks are also cored with Airex so that no water can be absorbed into deck coring or hardware reinforcements. Her rudder stock is made of carbon fiber for maximum strength and safety. All structures are backed up with a ten year limited warranty against structural defects.

The twelve year collaboration between the Sabre Design Team and Jim Taylor Yacht Design has proven to be very fruitful: all three of the previous designs, the Sabre 362, Sabre 402 and Sabre 452, have won Cruising World Magazine's Boat Of The Year awards. This partnership has now created the new Sabre 426.

The Sabre 426 is a moderate displacement cruising yacht with the performance attributes of lighter boats, yet offering considerably more comfort and on-board amenities. Like her older siblings, she offers a near perfect blend of traditional style and outstanding performance. The

story of the new Sabre 426 is one of heritage mixed with such modern construction and design as the use of vacuum bagged Airex PVC closed cell foam core and structural E glass, one of the strongest, lightest and most durable laminate combinations available today.

But while modern technology will be hidden below the surface, the traditional Sabre details, as well as some new hallmarks,

will be there for all to enjoy and admire. Thoughtful and elegant details that make each Sabre design a secure and beautiful sailing yacht, and a joy to own.

The Sabre Design Team wanted a new look for the 426, an evolution of the traditional Sabre look of style, beauty and grace. The result is a design with smoother lines, softer facets; a gracious yet aggressive profile. Timeless style which will be a source of personal pride for her owners for many years to come.
