Selling our much loved and updated 1981 Sabre 28 MKII. We keep “Free Radical” at Mobjack Bay Marina in Mathews County, VA and if desired the slip is transferrable.
We bought the boat in July 2023 on the hard in Deltaville. At that time I dropped the mast to address some rot in the compression post step (replaced the rotten step with marine grade plywood epoxy and tabbed in place with a cap of G10). Pulled and inspected the chainplates and reinstalled with fresh bedding and addressed a wet spot in the deck near the chainplate.
We rebuilt all of the Spartan bronze seacocks. I replaced the stuffing box with a brand new one with teflon packing. I scraped the bottom and put a fresh coat of bottom paint. The mast was restepped and riding tuned by Stingray Point Boatworks.
We sailed the boat through the winter and in March I installed a Beta 14 with 470 hours into the boat to replace the Volvo MD7A. At that time I installed new motor mounts, a rubber isolator between the shaft and output shaft. All hoses that feed the engine cooling water (fresh and raw) were replaced with brand new. I pulled the boat and replaced the propeller with a new one as per Beta’s recommendation. The water pump was rebuilt. The boat gets 0.3gph at 2200 rpm where I like to cruise.
I installed lazy jacks and a home made stack pack. I also installed a new LED anchor light at the mast head as well as a new anemometer. The main halyard is brand new as is the spinnaker halyard. The bat includes a spinnaker and pole. All winches have been rebuilt and installed with fresh bedding.
The boat has a auto helm autopilot that works great. I installed a VHW radio with AIS registered to the boat.
I pulled and cleaned the water tank and rebuilt both whale foot pumps with fresh gaskets. I pulled out the marine head and holding tank and replaced it with a C-Head composting toilet and it is so much better (we did a ten day cruise of the Chesapeake this spring and it was great)
There is a new Fortress 16 anchor and so much more beyond what I can list.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
SABRE 28-2 refers to hulls #212-539.
