Sabre Yachts Corporation has been crafting sail and motor yachts for over 30 years and has built over 2,200 hulls to date. Sabre currently builds three sailboat models from 36 to 45 feet in length under the Sabre name and five powerboat models from 34 to 47 feet in length using the Sabreline name. Sabre sail and motor yachts are sold worldwide, through a network of experienced, professional dealers who are chosen for their reputation, location, sales service, after sales service and visibility within a local market.

Sabre's two manufacturing facilities are located approximately 25 miles north of Portland and a little over two hours from Boston. In the main, 65,000 square foot facility in the town of Raymond 120 Associates build all of the sailboats as well as the Sabreline 34s and 36s. At a nearby site in the town of Casco, an additional 30 Associates build the Sabreline 43 and 47.

In 1994, Sabre acquired North End Marine of Rockland, Maine, a major builder of marine molds and production fiberglass parts. The company's name was changed to North End Composites in 1996 and it has since diversified into industrial, commercial and architectural composite construction while maintaining an active presence in the marine mold making and part production business, for Sabre as well as for other boat builders.

Through the years, Sabre has listened carefully to its owners and dealers, and has constantly refined each product with a Model Year Improvement Program. Regular client surveys, participation in owner's associations, and annual owner's reunions have allowed Sabre to remain abreast of the market and in touch with existing and prospective customer's needs.

A Commitment To Excellence The Sabre work force are men and women who take tremendous pride in their work and are sensitive to the marine tradition of the state - hence the company's motto, "Crafted in the Maine Tradition." Most of our Associates are capable of working in all of the different phases of building boats, and have a full understanding of the influence that their job has on the quality of the final product. Over one third of Sabre's Associates have been with the company for more than a decade, and many have celebrated their second decade with Sabre.

Sabre stresses excellence at all stages of the boatbuilding operation. Low employment turnover, an emphasis on safe procedures, cross training and a thorough awareness of each model's competitive position in the marketplace, have enabled Sabre to meet high standards of excellence in manufacturing and design, and to adapt to changing business conditions.

Our search for excellence does not end at our doors. Our suppliers are also chosen for their reputation and the excellence of the products they sell us. Industry leaders such as Caterpillar, Lewmar, Westerbeke, Edson, Harken and Bennett, to name a few, are chosen for their high quality and product recognition.

The production of every Sabre yacht is monitored by an extensive and thorough Quality Assurance program. All purchased parts and subassemblies are checked as they enter production, and each boat is given a 600-point inspection during six separate stages of the building process. As the yacht nears completion a 12 page report is prepared by Sabre's Head Inspector, along with a full technical inspection of all mechanical and electrical systems. And as a final check, a Gold Inspection is performed by a member of Sabre's Management Group. This inspection is unstructured and is meant to judge the overall quality, feel and appearance of the boat.

Once the yacht arrives at the dealership, a detailed Commissioning Check is completed by the dealer, and a detailed report sent back to Sabre. This schedule ensures us that all systems were functioning to Sabre's satisfaction and standard when the yacht was delivered into service.

As clients and dealers report issues back to Sabre's After Sales Service staff, no matter how large or small, a Customer Quality Report (CQR) is developed and circulated to all members of Management and Engineering, as well as to all Production Associates effected by the report.
