2005 Sabre 386

location icon Westport, Connecticut
Year 2005
Length 38'7 ft
Price
$215,000

The Sabre 386 was named Cruising World's Boat of the Year in 2005, and was the product of a many years collaboration between the famed race boat designer Jim Taylor and the Sabre Design Team. Chrisoula is a terrific example of this very successful model. Chrisoula's one owner has used the boat lightly, gently, locally, kept it docked at his home during the Spring and Summer, and under a custom Fairclough cover on the hard in the off season.  Among the updates and highlights are:

The owners of this beautifully maintained cruiser racer are moving, and regrettably must sell Chrisoula.
