INDIGO is superior to practically all other Sabre 38s in that she has two very special and unique upgrades. First her original 33HP Westerbeke engine was replaced with a 58HP Yanmar (naturally aspirated) diesel in 2001. This ââ?¬Å?EXTRAââ?¬ï¿½ 25HP makes a huge difference in this boats ability to cruise at 7 knots and punch through a head sea.
The second great improvement to INDIGO was made in 2007. That winter the seller purchased a new Leisure Furl Main Boom, a new fully batten mainsail and a new Lewmar #40 electric self-tailing main halyard winch. As a result of these two significant expenditures, INDIGO stands head and shoulders above any other Sabre 38IIs.
This yacht is a simple joy for one or two people to day sail or cruise in.
