The Sabre 32 is one of the nicest built boats from an era when skilled ship's carpenters crafted the joinery and no compromises were made on materials and hardware. She is an absolute dream to sail, is quick for her size yet offers all of the amenities of a fully equipped cruiser.
The layout of this Sabre 32 is very unique in that there are two quarter berths; a single on the starboard side and a double on the port. The nav station complete with desk is just forward of the port side berth.There is a bi-fold door just forward of the Nav station that essentially makes the aft berths private a private cabin from the salon and forward berth. The head is located just forward of the Nav Station. Duel settees with a centerline table offer an excellent space for dining or family table games. Excellent stowage, natural ventilation and light. V-Berth forward with complete with privacy door and an overhead star gazing hatch round out this very successful and popular design.
