Sabre Yachts goal has always been to fulfill the dreams and wishes of owners by listening carefully to the requests and blending their ideas into exciting designs. Sabre considers their owners and potential owners to be valued members of the Sabre Design Team. The Sabre 42 is the result of observations that their clients want to enjoy the same levels of personal luxury and comfort that they have come to expect in their homes and in their automobiles. To that end they have developed a style of sedan, that permits boaters to operate from the comfort of the yacht's interior. Technology is advancing rapidly and owners have come to expect that if there is a new technology available, Sabre will employ it in their design. Sabre dramatically changed the way they build yachts and the way in which they are propelled. Traditional values such as fine craftsmanship and great looks remain, as owners have come to expect, but below the surface things are state-of-the-art. In the fiberglass shop they have practice infusion molding. It is greener in the sense that it uses considerably less resin and cleaner in that the emissions levels are much lower. It's lighter because the process uses less resin and that allows the hull to run faster and use less fuel. Infusion differs from traditional hand lay-up in that all materials are loaded dry into the mold in a stack, the stack is then covered with a plastic bag and resin is infused into the stack. This creates a stronger part with higher glass to resin ratios. Volvo IPS Pods has changed everything and nothing remains the same. The smaller engines using vectored thrust propel the boat at higher speeds using less fuel. And when maneuvering in tight spaces a joy stick makes child's play of docking.
