ACCOMMODATIONS:

The interior of the Sabre 426 is hand crafted of the finest American cherry with a teak and holly sole. Satin varnish gives the wood a delicate sheen, which accents the highly detailed joinery work featuring Sabre’s signature cold-molded curved laminated trim not found in other yachts. The generous headroom measures 6’6″ in the main salon and aft areas, and 6’4″ in the forward cabin. Drawers are maple dove tailed construction with smooth sliding roller guides. Locker doors have fully louvered fronts, recessed self-closing hinges, and positive sealing push-button latches. Overhead spotlights, reading lights and counter lights are thoughtfully placed.

Forward is the roomy, bright master stateroom with a queen-size centerline berth surrounded by many drawers and lockers. The hanging locker is cedar lined. Aft to port is the head, with a separate shower stall including a teak seat and floor grate as well as a wet locker. The head is equipped with a Jabsco electric freshwater toilet with macerator, and all hoses were replaced in 2022.

The full beam salon has two 6’5” settees, the port side converts to a double berth. The salon also includes an entertainment center with stereo and 15” flat screen tv forward of the starboard settee. The dining table is bulkhead mounted and opens to accommodate 7-8 people. The salon settees are covered in Cologne Ultrasuede. Storage is plentiful both above and outboard of the settees.

Aft of the salon to starboard is the U-shaped galley, equipped with a 3-burner Force 10 propane stove with oven; open shelves are above and outboard of the stove. The galley also includes a microwave and 12-volt Sea Frost refrigerator/freezer with doors for front and top loading.

Manufacturer Provided Description:

The Sabre 426 embraces the standards which have put Sabre’s name atop the quality spectrum of boatbuilding for the last 30 years. Current Sabre owners and those who have followed the brand over time, will see details here which make it feel familiar. Details which make sense, which add to comfort, security and well being. Logical details that, above all, make each Sabre design a great safe and beautiful sailboat. But details from the past are just part of the story. Keeping up with technology has to go hand in hand with our desire to build the finest possible sailing yachts for our clients. The Sabre 426 hull and deck will be built using vacuum bagged, closed cell, cross linked PVC foam and structural E Glass, which will give her one of the strongest, lightest, most durable structures available today. Hull lines, underwater appendages and rigs were drawn by Jim Taylor Yacht Design. The deck, deck styling and interior were accomplished by the Sabre Design Team. The result is a yacht which will, like her siblings, establish a benchmark in sailing that will endure for many years to come.
