2015 Sabre 38 Salon Express

Mer-Sea is certainly one of the nicest Sabre 38s to come on the market.  Low hours (below 300) and very nicely equipped, she has been maintained to an exceptional degree both cosmetically and mechanically.  In the off season for the last 5 years the boat has been stored indoors at Petzold's Marine Center, the Sabre dealer for Connecticut and Western Rhode Island, which has seen to Mer-Sea's needs.

Mer-Sea also has a new dinghy, outboard and Hurley H30 manual dinghy management system

The owners have enjoyed her, cruising in local Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound, with the family.  They are only ready to let her go to a new owner because they'd like a larger Sabre to do more extensive cruising.

She must be seen to be appreciated.
