43' Sabre Aft Cabin Flybridge 43 Trawlers

Sabreline 43 Aft Cabin

     "Most production trawlers of the past few decades have been built on low-speed, semi-displacement hulls that generally require large engines to exceed 14–15 knots. The Sabreline 43 differs from that norm in that she’s constructed on a modified-V hull that allows her to run efficiently at much higher speeds than one usually expects of a trawler-style design. Performance aside, the Sabreline 43 is a quality-built double-cabin cruiser with full walkaround decks and extremely comfortable accommodations. The standard galley-down floorplan is available with ... a double berth in the forward stateroom, a lower helm is standard, and both heads are fitted with separate stall showers. Deck access is excellent: there are port and starboard access doors in the salon, a companionway door aft, and a cockpit door in the master stateroom. Solid teak cabinets and a teak-and-holly cabin sole highlight the interior, and prop pockets combine with a shallow keel to protect the running gear. Topside, the spacious flybridge is arranged with an L-shaped dinette abaft the helm." ~ 2016 Powerboat Guide

     Entering the Main Cabin of Blue Charm from the starboard side weather deck the Lower Pilot Station is forward with a large bench style seating aft of the sliding door. The Main Cabin side and rear windows open and have screens for excellent ventilation and the forward facing windows have wipers for added visibility in inclement weather. The Helm Station features a full suite of electronics, port and starboard engine throttles and controls/meters, remotes for the windlass and search light, trim tabs, AC and DC electric panels, bilge pump switches, fresh water tankage meter, and assorted breakers. Aft of the helm is the double bench seat with custom upholstery, ice maker located inboard and under the seat and drawer storage opening on the forward face under the seat.

     Directly behind the bench seat is the Salon with wrap around bench seating with custom upholstery, drawer storage under the seats, dining table with drop leafs, built in credenza for add storage, lamp and overhead lighting, clock, barometer and tide clock. 

    Moving back to the Lower Pilot Station and moving to port you have the companionway down to the forward cabin, forward head and galley. Continuing to port is the large forward facing Navigation Station with full forward visibility and direct access to the Lower Pilot Station and Galley. The Navigation Station has a built in brass plated lamp for excellent lighting, large work surface opening storage compartment, ships bell and thermometer.

     Aft of the Navigation Station is a second sliding door with access to the port side weather deck. Moving aft is a large entertainment cabinet that has been converted for additional storage with three large opening drawers inside. If a TV is required, this cabinet can be easily converted back to a storage unit for media.

     Continuing aft is series of three steps running forward and aft that accesses the sun deck above and aft of the Main Cabin. Under the steps is additional storage and a built in liquor/wine cabinet. Hand rails are also installed inboard of steps on the bulkhead for additional safety maneuvering the steps.

     Inboard of the steps is the companionway down to the Aft/Master Cabin. Stepping down the two steps you enter a very large cabin. The centerline queen with its back to the aft bulkhead is at the center of the cabin. The cabin features twin book shelves, cedar lined hanging lockers, shelves, drawer and cabinet storage, overhead lighting, and access to the aft deck. The Master Head is located outboard of the companionway steps to the Main Cabin and features a Vacuflush head, single basin sink with faucet, storage above and below sink, stall shower with pull up seat and adjustable shower wand. Tiled flooring, opening port lights and overhead lighting complete the head.

    Moving back forward through the Main Cabin are the companionway steps down to the forward living space. Stepping down the two steps and turning to port you enter the large wrap around Galley with blue Corian counter tops.  Open to the Main Cabin aft and with two opening port lights to port this area has a very open and airy feel. With ample storage above and below the counter tops, large glass and cup cabinet at base of companionway, front loading refrigerators (one with a built in freezer), counter top access trash bin with additional trash containment below companionway steps, double basin stainless steel sink with tap, 3-burner range with hood, and microwave the galley is comfortable, ergonomic and well equipped.

     Continuing aft from the Galley you enter the Forward Cabin with it large V-berth. Cedar lined hanging lockers to port and starboard, shelving above bunk, reading lights, 4-drawers under the bunk with locker with clothes dryer, opening port lights and deck hatch, overhead lighting and direct access to the Aft Head make this cabin very comfortable and easy to move around. The Aft Head is accessible from the Forward Cabin and the Galley and sits aft of Forward Cabin and to starboard of the Galley. The head features a single basin sink with tap, storage above and below counter top, Vacuflush head, opening port lights, blower and a stall shower with adjustable shower wand and built in clothes washer outboard of stall.

     Boarding Blue Charm from the transom, you step onto the large Swim Platform with stainless steel swim ladder with teak treads, salt water wash down and hot and cold fresh water outside shower. To starboard is a flip down transom cutout with step up to the Aft Deck. The Aft Deck features fixed stainless steel handrails mounted on the surrounding bulwark, two deck accessed lockers and the companionway door to the aft cabin.  

    Moving outboard and forward port or starboard, you access the wide and safe Weather Decks. Fixed solid stainless steel rails mounted on the bulwark offer excellent protection and handholds as you move forward to the Sun Deck. Two sets of solid wood treads lower and a single tread upper, port and starboard, offer access to the Sun Deck. Stepping up to the Sun Deck, this open space features wrap around stainless steel rails mounted on raised fiberglass molded toenails, throw ring, storage locker with aft facing door, access to companionway down to the main cabin, and steps up to the Flybridge.

    Stepping up the two solid wood treads on the stainless steel framed steps you enter the Flybridge with full Sunbrella bimini and forward and side 3/4 Stratoglass enclosure for protection from the weather, but with opening panels for good airflow. To starboard you have an L-shaped settee with fitted upholstered cushions and table. To port is a stainless steel railing system around the companionway cutout to the main cabin. Moving forward is a set of adjustable helm seats one in front of the Chart Station and one in front of the Upper Pilot Station. The Upper Pilot Station features a full suite of electronics, throttle and engine control/gauges, compass, remotes controls for the search light and windlass, trim tabs and remote engine shutdown system. Below the Chart Station is a regulation storage compartment for propane tanks and below the bench seat is added storage. A forward slanting acrylic shield with stainless steel rail wrap around the forward edge of the console for added safety, protection and visibility.

     Moving back down to the Weather Decks, port or starboard, and continuing forward, there is a single step down to sliding doors inboard to the main cabin and then a step back up to the Weather Decks leading to the Foredeck. The stainless steel handrails mounted on the bulwark continue all the way around the Weather Decks giving fantastic safety and stability as you move up and down the decks.

     Entering the Foredeck, port or starboard, stainless steel hand rails are mounted on the coach roof port and starboard for added safety. The Foredeck features a fully space by stainless steel handrails port and starboard and around the molded fiberglass sprit. Large lockers are located in the deck port and starboard of the electric windlass with up and down foot controls, two large stainless steel cleats with dedicated stainless chalks sit forward of the windlass and dual rollers for a double anchor setup with a 45 pound CQR and Fortress anchor make the Foredeck very user friendly and safe.
