1982 Sabre 34

Listed
Expired
$19,900 USD

Seller's Description

Delphine is a handsome and high-quality 1982 Sabre 34 (MKI) for sale. Explore the Chesapeake Bay and beyond in a classic sailboat with attractive lines, elegance, and proven design. Many nice features are found onboard this beautiful vessel. The Sabre 34 is a sturdy and solidly built sailboat highly capable in most sea conditions and also provides a great living space below.

Below, you will find plenty of storage, two 22 gallon water tanks, a Raritan head (30 gallon holding tank), and comfy sleeping berths for five making this a sailboat ready for long adventures. A desirable u-shaped galley with double sinks and a gimballed stove with oven, and a refrigerator allow the chef a great cooking setup whether at port or sea. Relax in the covered cockpit sitting on cushions around your teak table while sipping a margarita and smelling the sea air.

This sailboat offers you an affordable way to get into sailing and explore the bays and inlets with a stylish live-able interior.

Delphine is in decent overall condition and could be used as-is. Some cosmetic work could be done to bring her back to her former glory. Interior is attractive with teak and mahogany. Very nice layout and easy to manage. Some high moisture in the cockpit floor could be fixed at some point, but isnt noticeable under foot. This sailboat can function as-is, or could be fully restored with light effort.

Delphine is a centerboard (CB) version - perfect for exploring the Chesapeake, ICW, Bahamas and shallow bays or offshore. 4ft. board-up and 7ft. 11inch board-down. Sailboat is in the water.

Added bonus: The slip in Rock Hall conveys for no cost for the rest of the season! Shes all ready for you!

Equipment: Some of the highlights here: - 6 ft. 3 in. headroom below -Sails are in good condition and were just cleaned, restitched, and inspected. ( also Includes a Spinnaker) - New Raymarine Axiom 7 chart plotter - AC/Heater unit (runs on shore power) - New propane lines for stove - Engine starts right up (27HP Westerbeke Diesel) - Recent batteries - New Raritan head - Dodger and Bimini (fair condition, could use stitching) - Three sails (Main, Head, Spinnaker) - Refurbished original Ritchie compass - Good condition cockpit cushion set - Working top loading fridge/freezer - Stereo with speakers - 44 gallons of water tanks - 30 gallon holding tank - Gimballed stove with oven - U-shaped galley - Interior is in good shape overall - New bottom paint (May 2023)

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.3 kn
Classic: 6.87 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

7.32 knots
Classic formula: 6.87 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.0
<16: under powered

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.
15.98
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.4
>40: stiffer, more 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

40.36
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
281.5
275-350: heavy

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
281.47
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.7
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
26.67
<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
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Hull #1 - #255.
SABRE 34-2 introduced in 1986.
A keel/CB version was also available.
