2011 Sabre 386

INDEFATIGABLE is one of the last of the Sabre 386 models built.  She is a one owner boat, and her owners have maintained her to the nines.  She has certainly had an easy life, and it shows. All her exterior surfaces shine, her varnish is proper and fresh, and her interior is equally impressive.  Even her bilges are super clean!

Much has been written about the 386, so I will not repeat all the details here.  Suffice it to say that the photos tell the story, perhaps better than words.  In addition to the standard boat features, she many factory options and pre-delivery upgrades.

INTERIOR OVERVIEW:

The Sabre 386 has an exceptional layout with two private sleeping cabins, a very ample galley, a proper nav station, and a fantastic salon. The head, located adjacent to the companionway, is large and has a roomy separate stall show, with great storage.

Significant ventilation is provided through polished aluminum hatches, stainless steel opening ports and stainless cowl vents with dorade boxes.

Sabre's attention to detail is well known. Whether it be the style and grace of her shear, the intricate details of a deck tooling blending comfort, safety and good looks, or the details found in the hand crafted interior joinery, Sabre Yachts stands alone in quality and reputation.

The Sabre 386 embraces the standards which have put Sabre's name atop the quality spectrum of boatbuilding for the last 35 years. Current Sabre owners and those who have followed the brand over time, will see details here which make it feel familiar.

Details which make sense, which add to comfort, security and well being. Logical details that, above all, make each Sabre design a great, safe and beautiful sailboat. But details from the past are just part of the story. Keeping up with technology has to go hand in hand with our desire to build the finest possible sailing yachts for our clients.

The Sabre 386 hull is built using vacuum bagged, closed cell, cross linked PVC Divinycell foam and structural E Glass, which gives her one of the strongest, lightest, most durable structures available today. Her deck is also cored with Divinycell.

Hull lines, underwater appendages and rigs were drawn by Jim Taylor Yacht Design. The deck, deck styling and interior were accomplished by the Sabre Design Team. The result is a yacht which, like her siblings, will establish a benchmark in sailing that will endure for many years to come.
