Seller's Description
The Sabre 386 is a sailing vessel that embodies a balanced approach between traditional and modern design philosophies. Introduced in 2004, it seamlessly combines classic yacht aesthetics with contemporary innovations. This 38-footer is crafted for mature sailors with refined tastes, providing comfort and performance without sacrificing practicality.
The Sabre 386 features a thoughtfully designed interior, prioritizing both accommodation and storage. It offers spacious, comfortable bunks in the fore and aft cabins, with a double island berth forward and an athwartship double bunk aft. The saloon settees are functional for sleeping, and the galley is well-equipped with a gimbaled stove, microwave, double sink, and a fridge accessible from both the top and side. The interior finishes, including cherry-veneered furniture and cedar-lined hanging lockers, reflect Sabres commitment to quality and attention to detail.
On deck, the Sabre 386 boasts clean, proportionate lines with a comfortable cockpit that accommodates easy movement even in choppy seas. The sailing setup is efficient, featuring midboom sheeting, dual tracks for the headsail, and a hydraulic split backstay. The deck hardware is reinforced for durability, and the helm is designed for comfort and responsive handling. The vessels performance is robust, with a 40-horsepower Yanmar engine and a shoal-keel design that ensures stability and acceleration in varying wind conditions.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

8.8 kn
Classic: 7.64 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
18.0
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
37.8
<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
- Displacement/Length
-
220.2
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
25.7
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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
<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
Notes
Shallow draft Wing/bulb keel: 4.83’/1.47m
