She has been outfitted for serious offshore cruising and comfortable long-term living aboard, with substantial recent investment in both cruising systems and fundamental vessel maintenance.

A Proven Offshore Design
The Sabre 425 is a highly regarded American performance cruiser, known for combining offshore capability
with excellent sailing characteristics and a comfortable interior. Sunyata has been actively cruised rather

substantial solar generation, lithium storage, watermaking capability, modern navigation electronics, satellite
communications, and strong ground tackle.

includes:

-- B&G Zeus 3 multifunction display
-- Radar
-- AIS
-- B&G NAC3 autopilot
-- Starlink
-- Iridium GO
Water and Cruising Systems
A Rainman watermaker provides freshwater independence while cruising. Sunyata also comes equipped
with the systems and equipment expected aboard a vessel prepared for extended cruising, including a
capable dinghy and outboard, robust anchoring equipment, and extensive onboard storage.
Engine and Mechanical Systems
The Westerbeke diesel has received significant recent attention, including work to the fuel injection and
cooling systems. Recent mechanical and underwater work includes:
-- New propeller shaft
-- MaxProp feathering propeller
-- Upgraded engine mounts
-- Rebuilt rudder
-- Fresh antifouling
-- Full replacement of vessel seacocks
Sails and Rig
Sunyata carries a selection of sails suitable for cruising, including North sails and an unused Quantum
mainsail. The standing rigging is stainless-steel rod rigging. Detailed rigging history, sail ages, and
inspection information can be provided to serious buyers where available.
Interior
The Sabre 425 offers a comfortable cruising layout with excellent ventilation, storage, and accommodations
for extended living aboard. The interior includes a spacious salon, functional galley, dedicated navigation
area, private sleeping cabins, and generous storage throughout. Sunyata has been used as a genuine
cruising home rather than simply as a weekend vessel, and the systems and layout reflect that purpose.
Ground Tackle and Tender
Sunyata is equipped with serious cruising ground tackle, including a Rocna 60 anchor. A dinghy and
outboard are included, making the boat ready for anchoring and independent cruising.
Known Condition Items
Two localized areas of elevated deck moisture have been identified. Both areas remain firm underfoot, with
no observed structural movement. Locations and additional information can be provided to interested buyers
and inspected as part of a buyer's survey. The boat is presented transparently, and buyers are encouraged
to conduct their own marine survey and mechanical inspection.
Why Sunyata
Many boats in this age and price range require immediate investment in batteries, solar, charging systems,
electronics, autopilot, underwater hardware, steering, watermaking, communications, sails, and engine work.
Much of that work has already been done aboard Sunyata. She offers a buyer the opportunity to acquire a
capable Sabre 425 with a substantial cruising inventory and significant recent investment, rather than
beginning ownership with a long and expensive refit list.
Sunyata is ready for her next owner and her next passage.
