Custom built one of a kind Sabre 386 with taller carbon mast, deep keel, larger rudder, saildrive, oversized wheel, tacktick instruments, GPS, Below deck autopilot, flat screen TV. Setup to race or cruise, many sails, running rigging, and deck hardware.

This is a special, custom built Sabre 386, there is no other sister ship like this one. Originally built for a Sabre dealer’s personal use, this model was modified to custom specification and has many upgrades. The current owner has taken great care of the vessel and added a number of new sails to increase performance while racing and cruising. It has been in fresh water since 2010 in a climate that allows only 5-6 months of use per season. This particular model is designed for someone who appreciates the classic Sabre high-end quality inside and out, but still wants a boat that sails extremely well.
