1994 Sabre

36' / 10.97m

This 2-owner 1994 362 was used very lightly as a weekend day sailor by both owners in retirement. One or two people can enjoy the feather-light touch needed to sail this boat on all wind angles, moving easily in light 5 knot winds on up. Few other boats allow the helmsman to (so often) release the wheel and let the balanced sail plan maintain course with light corrections periodically. It was built with options supporting racing sail control but only raced 5-10 times in social regattas. The oiled teak interior is gorgeous, looking like new to this day. Never touching salt water environs has kept the wiring/plumbing/exterior in excellent condition, parked in a Lake Erie slip from May-October. 

Features:

Hall spars with rigid vang (line to cockpit), optional mainsail T-track on mast, two jiffy reefing lines led to cockpit clutches (6) along with two halyards, topping lift, centerboard control. Standing rigging shows no aging (fresh water only).
