She is a spectacular downeast Fly Bridge cruiser unsurpassed in the size range and category. Her owners worked closely with Sabre selecting most options and implementing many custom refinements improving on the standard yacht. From her berth in the brackish waters of the Connecticut River she has been cruised in Long Island Sound and the adjacent New England waters during the Northern season and stored and serviced with one of the regions leading yards. No expense has been spared in her service and maintenance which is evident by her Bristol condition.
This model from Sabre is hugely successful, many built in the Salon Express model but a percentage benefit from the Fly Bridge factory option which adds an entire other dimension to the vessel.
