BuilderSabre Yachts

Company history

The future founder of Sabre Yachts could not find a perfect, in his opinion, 28-foot GRP sailboat for a long time and decided to create his own. So in 1970 a new shipyard was born, which over the next 40 years produced sailing yachts up to 45 feet. In 1989, the lineup was expanded with motor yachts. That was when the company introduced the legendary Sabreline 36 Fast Trawler. The boat took advantage of trawlers with their good seaworthiness and capacity, but what made it stand out was speed.

By 2010, Sabre Yachts had stopped producing sailing boats and completely moved into the motor sector.

Status

It's working.

Production

In 1995, Sabre acquired North End Composites of Rockland, a major manufacturer of marine forms and fiberglass parts. Thus, the plant in Raymond, Maine, USA, was added to the capacity of Rockland. However, in 2002 the site was redirected to develop a new brand - Back Cove Yachts. Today the total number of shipbuilders is 350.

Range of yachts

The company has focused on the popular segment and is building boats from 12 to 20 meters long with fiberglass hulls. The model range includes two lines - Salon Express and Fly Bridge. The first is a closed cruising yacht with a hardtop, and the second is a Fly Bridge.

Features

The design of the boat is quite similar to the classic North European trawlers, which is not common» for «Americans now. At the same time the interior spaces are not very different either - there is a lot of wood in the interior and a warm color scheme. However, Sabre ships from the first Fast Trawler stand out from their brethren with their speed qualities.

The manufacturer offers a fully equipped boat, where the basic version has everything you need for a comfortable journey, including navigation systems and multimedia.
