1986 Sabre 36 - Centerboard

Beaufort NC

This 1986 Sabre 36 Centerboard has remained in the same family for more than 20 years and has proven to be a capable, dependable cruising sailboat. During her ownership, she successfully completed more than six voyages to the Bahamas and two offshore passages to Bermuda, demonstrating the strength, seaworthiness, and offshore capability for which the Sabre 36 is well known.

The Sabre 36 is highly respected for her excellent sailing performance, balanced helm, and versatile centerboard configuration. She is easy to handle, performs well in a wide range of conditions, and offers the flexibility to cruise comfortably both offshore and in shallow waters.

The vessel has not been used recently and will require cleaning and light cosmetic restoration to return her to active cruising condition. With her proven cruising history, classic lines, and solid Sabre construction, this boat represents an excellent opportunity for someone seeking a rewarding restoration project and a respected classic cruising sailboat.
