Seller's Description

Fully upgraded, SABRENA is a stunning example of the popular Sabre 38 MKII racer/cruiser. Sailed summers on the Chesapeake Bay and on the Great Lakes (fresh water), SABRENA is equipped for shallow water sailing (4 3 draft centerboard up) with a performance pedigree that challenges deep-keel boats (6.5 ft draft centerboard down). SABRENAs racing accolades includes Governors Cup and Screwpile, Cruising Class top finishes. Continuously upgraded and meticulously maintained, recent upgrades include rod re-rigging and mast step refurbishment (2024), Adler Barbour Super Cold Machine Air/Water Cooled refrigeration (2023), CNG to propane conversion with oven (2023), new polycarbonate Lewmar hatches (2022), new Dodger and Bimini (2022), new aqua drive (off-set prop) (2020) and all new electronics (2019) including AIS Transmit/Receive. Equipped with dinghy davits, full enclosure and Air Conditioning (Cruisair), SABRENA is fully equipped for racing or cruising.

Vessel Description INTRODUCTION: The Sabre 38 MKII is well known for her combination of excellent sailing abilities, comfortable cruising amenities and classic good looks. SABRENA is set up to sleep seven with two separate sleeping cabins with a large open salon, functional galley and large nav station. Sail handling is easily done shorthanded with a Dutchman system for the main with large self-tailing oversized genoa winches, and genoa mounted on a Harken Furler. Updated and in excellent condition, SABRENA represents a superb opportunity to own a beautiful classic American cruising boat that is well maintained, fast, and fun to sail.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.4 kn
Classic: 7.51 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

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

8.39 knots
Classic formula: 7.51 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.8
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
16.79
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.1
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

39.06
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
243.0
200-300: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
243.0
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
27.2
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
27.17
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.92
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Hull #101 - #215.
Shoal draft (wing keel) and keel/cb versions also available.
