2023 Sabre 45 Salon Express

Bella III is a beautiful example of the very popular Sabre 45 model, a model that checks all the boxes.  Apart from extraordinary good looks and performance, the 45 has two very comfortable staterooms and two full heads with separate showers.  Bella has been lightly used (216 hrs), and in the off-season stored indoors in a heated shed.  There is hardly an option unchosen, and several custom touches that were designed to make being aboard even easier...for example, the electrically actuated lift on the utility room hatch vs the standard manual hatch lift makes getting to the utility room and washer and dryer a breeze.

Among her many highlights are:

• Engines upgraded to Volvo D6-IPS650, 480hp, from standard
• 216 engine hours
• Seakeeper stabilizer
• Freedom Lift dinghy lift
• Side-by-side washer and dryer
• Hydraulic lift on engine room hatch vs manual
• Electric lift on utility room hatch vs manual
• Flag Blue hull
• Teak decking in aft cockpit
• Underwater LED light package at transom
• Shoji doors on master and guest staterooms, lockers and galley cabinet faces
• Sure Shade
• Achillies console dinghy and Honda outboard

Bella III is in her slip in Branford until early November when she will be moved to Petzold's Marine main yard in Portland, Ct, for heated indoor storage.
