2004 Sabre 426 Sold Boat in Essex, CT 06426 US

The Sabre 426 is a medium displacement cruiser/racer design offering the performance of a lighter racing boat but with considerably greater cruising amenities. This combination of traditional styling and great performance is what has built Sabre Yacht’s reputation since its first model was launched in 1970.

Sabre’s attention to detail is well known. Whether it be the style and grace of a sheer, the intricate details of a deck mold blending comfort, safety and good looks, or the details found in the hand crafted interior joinery, Sabre Yachts has achieved a stellar reputation for quality and luxury.

The interior layout of the Sabre 426 offers a full beam salon with comfortable seating for all crew and guests. Storage is abundant. A very private master cabin with en-suite head and shower stall is located in the bow, and the guest cabin with queen sized berth is found below the cockpit. A full sized chart table is placed at the base of the companionway steps, opposite a full U-shaped galley.

The Sabre 426 is a sailor’s sailing yacht, equally comfortable on an overnight with friends or on a long offshore passage. Built to NMMA, ABYC, USCG and CE Category A standards

Accommodations are comfortable for up to seven, with two private cabins, large main cabin, head with separate shower, well-designed nav station, gourmet galley with extra refrigeration, freezer, microwave, stove & oven.
