Heyo, this is a cool boat. Buy it!
This vessel boasts a comprehensive sail inventory, including a recently purchased main sail with a stack pack in excellent condition, a 40% A1 jib also in pristine condition, and a stay sail that has never been used. The cruising spinnaker has also seen minimal use, having been deployed less than half a dozen times. While the boat includes a full spinnaker package, the spinnaker itself was never purchased, and the pole was unfortunately lost in the yard.
The owner’s forward cabin configuration offers extended length and comes with two full closets, providing ample storage for long voyages. The cabin also features an electric forward head for added convenience. The rigging includes a single backstay with an adjuster, which, although requiring additional reinforcement, offers ease of adjustment.
On deck, the sailboat is equipped with a single electric winch on the cabin top, simplifying the raising of the mainsail and furling of the jib. The adjustable jib cars are a noteworthy feature of the original spinnaker package. The vessel is well-equipped with a total of six winches, ensuring smooth sailing in various conditions.
The engine has been upgraded with two alternators—one dedicated to the house batteries and the other to the engine—addressing a design limitation common in most 452s. The engine compartment was reconfigured to accommodate this enhancement, providing added reliability and efficiency during extended cruises.
This 2002 Sabre 452 sailboat is a rare find, offering a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and thoughtful upgrades that cater to the discerning sailor. Whether planning coastal cruising or offshore adventures, this vessel is fully equipped to meet your needs.
