Whether you opt for cruising, racing or a combination of both, this Sabre 386 will not disappoint. Her Jim Taylor Designed hull is easily driven and offers stellar performance across the spectrum of sailing conditions. Her load carrying capacity is large thanks to broad hull sections aft and a long waterline. Even when she is loaded for an extensive cruise, her sailing characteristics will not be compromised. In addition, she was built to NMMA, ABYC, USCG and CE Category A standards.
