St. Somewhere has just reduced price by $15,000 and is asking only $84,900. Now is the time to make a great deal on a great yacht.
Almost new engine, replaced chainplates, replaced rod rigging, bow thruster, solar, dinghy davits, stern boarding platform, shoal draft, excellent sails and so much more. Amazing value in this Sabre 42!
This Sabre 42 Centerboard has recently returned from a 2 year Caribbean Cruise. We found St. Somewhere a few years back for her owners and they have cruised her down the east coast to Florida and then on to their Caribbean Adventure. She's a shoal draft centerboard model and she's got an almost new diesel engine, solar panels, and loads of great gear.
This Sabre 42 carried two sailors in style from Florida to the Eastern Caribbean and back on a recent two-year cruise. Her shallow draft (board up), allowed for sailing in skinny waters on the banks of the Bahamas. Her ability to point well, (board down) allowed steady progress to windward in the Trade Winds. She's rigged for easy single-handed sailing.
All control lines are led aft to the cockpit and her DUAL reliable direct-drive autopilots steer true. In heavy seas, her fine entry alleviates pounding and makes for a comfortable, seakindly motion and safe ride.
Now equipped with an almost brand new Beta Marine diesel, she is ready for her next adventure.
