The Sabre 281, commonly referred to as the Mark I, represents the foundational moment for Sabre Yachts and a significant milestone in American fiberglass boatbuilding. Launched in 1971 and designed by company founder Roger Hewson, the vessel was conceived as a highquality "pocket cruiser" that could provide the amenities of a much larger yacht within a trailerablewidth hull. During its initial production run from 1971 to 1976, the Mark I established Sabre’s reputation for "yachtgrade" interiors and robust construction, eventually leading to its induction into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame.
