Its design goal was to build the finest 28-foot sailing yacht available, using the state of the art materials and techniques available at the time and construct the boat on a modern assembly line basis, to realize good economy and production quality.[3]The Sabre 28 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with extensive teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, vertical transom, skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a ship’s wheel and a swept fixed fin keel.[1][4]The accommodations include a double “V” berth in the forward cabin, single and double bunks in the main cabin, and a quarter berth. The forward cabin has a door for privacy. The head includes a hanging locker and a dorade vent. The main cabin has a folding table that stows against a bulkhead. The galley features a recessed stove.[4]The cockpit is over 7\u00a0ft (2.1\u00a0m) in length. The foredeck mounts an anchor locker. Other features include a foredeck hatch, four opening and four fixed ports, internal halyards for both the mainsail and the genoa, raised by a mast-mounted winch. The mainsheet traveler is mounted on the cabin roof and genoa tracks are provided. The genoa is controlled with dual two-speed winches, mounted on the cockpit coaming.[4]All models have hull speeds of 6.4\u00a0kn (11.85\u00a0km\/h).[5]Variants[edit]Sabre 28-1 (serial numbers 1-211)This model was introduced in 1971 and produced until 1976, with 199 built. Eight were built with ketch rigs. It has a length overall of 28.00\u00a0ft (8.5\u00a0m), a waterline length of 22.83\u00a0ft (7.0\u00a0m), displaces 7,400\u00a0lb (3,357\u00a0kg) and carries 2,900\u00a0lb (1,315\u00a0kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.33\u00a0ft (1.32\u00a0m) with the standard keel and 3.8\u00a0ft (1.2\u00a0m) with the optional shoal draft keel. Universal Atomic 4 30\u00a0hp (22\u00a0kW) gasoline engine. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76\u00a0L; 17\u00a0imp\u00a0gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110\u00a0L; 25\u00a0imp\u00a0gal). The shoal draft version has a PHRF racing average handicap of 201 with a high of 210 and low of 195.[1][5][6]Sabre 28-2 (serial numbers 212-539)This model was introduced in 1976 and produced until 1982, with 320 built. It has a length overall of 28.42\u00a0ft (8.7\u00a0m), a waterline length of 22.83\u00a0ft (7.0\u00a0m) and displaces 7,900\u00a0lb (3,583\u00a0kg). The boat has a draft of 4.30\u00a0ft (1.31\u00a0m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 201 with a high of 205 and low of 198. It has a hull speed of 6.4\u00a0kn (11.85\u00a0km\/h).[7][8]Sabre 28-3 (serial numbers 540-588)This model was introduced in 1983 and produced until 1986. It has a length overall of 28.42\u00a0ft (8.7\u00a0m), a waterline length of 22.83\u00a0ft (7.0\u00a0m) and displaces 7,900\u00a0lb (3,583\u00a0kg). The boat has a draft of 4.67\u00a0ft (1.42\u00a0m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186 with a high of 189 and low of 183. It has a hull speed of 6.4\u00a0kn (11.85\u00a0km\/h).[9][10]American Sailboat Hall of Fame[edit]The Sabre 28 was inducted into the now-defunct Sail America American Sailboat Hall of Fame in 2003. In honoring the design, the hall cited, “If Roger Hewson and his associates at Sabre Yachts hadn\u2019t hit a sweet spot with the 28 \u2013 bringing the look and feel of a yacht into the pocket-cruiser size range \u2013 they wouldn\u2019t have had a 15-year production run, nor gone on to build close to 2000 larger sail and power boats. Perhaps the truest testimony to their success in crafting a boat of lasting quality is the price a 28 fetches on the used boat market today. Depending on maintenance and updates, prices can range from $15,000 to $30,000. As Hornor writes, \u201cThe Sabre 28 is rather high priced for its size and accommodations. However, the boat has proven to be a good investment due to its ability to attract buyers willing to pay a little more\u201d”[11]See also[edit]Similar sailboatsReferences[edit]External links[edit] Media related to Sabre 28 at Wikimedia Commons"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/sabre-28-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Sabre 28 – Wikipedia"}}]}]
