Purchased new by her one and only owner, this Sabre 42 Hard Back Express was used seasonally in the summers in Chesapeake Bay and then in winter months in FL for the first 3 1/2 years.  She was then trucked to Maine in early 2010 and has been in the water from mid June to late Sept. since and in inside heated storage in the off season.  The sellers love the boat but had not found the time to use her but very little last year and do not foresee using her extensively this season either.  She will be launched on schedule about June 15th +/-.
