1978 Sabre 28 Sloop Keel Sailboat
This stylish little pocket yacht is both the first and smallest boat ever produced by Sabre Yachts, a quality production boatbuilder based in southern Maine. Designed by the company’s founder, Roger Hewson, and introduced in 1971, the Sabre 28 was the only boat produced by Sabre until 1977. Production did not cease until 1986, by which time 588 hulls had been launched. Since its founding by Roger Hewson more than 20 years ago, Sabre Yachts has excelled at building boats under 40 feet. The old Sabre 28 is certainly one of the best pocket cruisers ever marketed.
She is waiting for adventure on the water but needs an owner with more time available to do so. We acquired this boat last fall and have realized we do not have the time available currently to use her or get her water ready. The port side chain plate has pulled out, a common occurrence in Sabre boats and an easy repair for those with boat knowledge. Pictures are included in post. This is all that is needed to set the mast and get her back on the water. Other maintenance/repairs needed: bilge access boards require reinforcement, some water damage from previously leaky port lights, and the bottom is ready for a new coat of paint. This is not a project boat and can be ready to sail with a few days work. There is no known structural damage or engine issues. The boat is solid and reliable.
The price is reflective of many extras that are included with the sale such as: two full sets of sails one of which is unused, life jackets, cushions, solar panels to keep the battery charged, deck grill, swim ladder, electronics, attractive bimini cover, full set of dishes.
