The history of Sabre Yachts goes back to 1970. A short time in the history of boat-building in Maine, where ships were first built as early as 1607 on the shores of the Kannebec River. The traditions of Maine boat-building have survived through the centuries and Sabre Yachts today is one of the leading boat-builders in Maine with a worldwide reputation for style and quality.
<br>
<br>Today's Sabre Motor Yachts are built on modern Vee-hulls and offer excellent performance, fuel efficiency and sea keeping characteristics. The hulls are molded using the latest materials and techniques in sandwich composite engineering. Foam cores are used to reduce weight and noise while increasing strength, stiffness and durability.
<br>
<br>The internal furniture is "tabbed" to the hull's inner skin and internal glass units are only used in head compartments. Tabbing creates an extremely strong structure by making every piece of furniture a structural part of the whole assembly.
<br>
<br>On deck the best production hardware available is selected. When necessary we design and have custom fabricated the parts that are needed. Below the surface, where copper wire is hidden with it's plastic coating, we use tinned wire products so as to virtually eliminate corrosion in the electrical system of the yacht.
<br>
<br>The sum of all of these small details and decisions is a yacht of the highest quality which will be durable and will retain it's value longer than our competitors. We invite comparisons and questions as they will give us the opportunity to demonstate our commitment to creating the finest motor yachts available.
<br>
<br>To port a fully furnished head compartment offers a full sized circular stall shower, a rare find in a yacht of this size. A fresh water MSD and Corian countertop are provided as standard equipment.
<br>
<br>A privacy curtain separates the salon from the owner's cabin and a large cedar-lined hanging locker will keep clothing fresh and neat. The queen-sized berth top is just 30" from the cabin sole, one of the best sleeping accommodations to be found in a 34' yacht. Below the berth are dovetailed maple drawers. The aft end of the berth and mattress open to expose lined storage boxes below. Above the berth, hull ceilings eliminate condensation and lockers and shelves provide convenient places for personal items and reading materials. An easily accessed below deck refrigerator is located between the salon and the owner's berth.
<br>
<br>Sabre is well known for creating yachts that are safe, practical and functional. The Sabre 34 Hard Top Express is no exception, with sturdy 1.25" diameter perimeter rails and additional handrails provided beneath the overhang of the hard top. Wide side decks and teak toe rails offer secure footing when moving from cockpit to foredeck for anchoring and docking procedures. The molded anti-slip surface provides additional security on deck.
<br>
<br>At the bow a deep deck locker allows ample storage for fenders and docklines while the anchor is easily deployed from the heavy duty anchor platform. Custom stainless steel chocks with blind fasteners, custom stainless steel portlights and highly polished hatches complete a package of elegant and practical deck hardware.
<br>
<br>In the cockpit a deep lazarette locker and an aft facing seat offer additional storage. An in-swinging transom door opens to a large swim platform with under-mounted swim ladder. Deck lights on a 24 hour circuit are recessed below the cockpit coamings.
<br>
<br>A Stidd helm chair is a feature common to all Sabre Express boats. These extraordinary helm chairs make long days on the water more comfortable and pleasant even in poor sea conditions. We also created a sliding chair back for the forward end of the L-settee. This provides the helm seat comfort underway and a great deal of flexibility to the helm deck seating plan. The helm deck is an exceptionally well designed space; elegant, welcoming and pracical as well as containig an additional AC/DC refrigerator for easy acces when underway.
<br>
The helm pod has ample space for multiple LCD screens, other navigational devices and all engine controls. The wood trimmed wheel is another elegant feature of the helm area. Large forward windows and sliding side windows allow a full view ahead and alongside the yacht and heavy duty windshield wipers and washers will keep the view clear in poor conditions. Site lines are excellent and meet ABYC recommendations. Bow rise at cruise speed is less than five degrees.
<br>
<br>Her compact and fully functional down galley offers a stainless steel sink, (2) burner stove top recessed below the solid surface counter and a microwave oven. Ample drawers and storage are found below the counter with a second AC/DC refrigrator.
