The Sabre 28 Mark II represents a pivotal evolution in the lineage of Roger Hewson’s original 1970 design, a vessel so successful it eventually earned a place in the American Sailboat Hall of Fame. Produced between 1976 and 1981, the Mark II (or 28-2) was the bridge between the pioneering Mark I and the refined Mark III, reflecting Sabre’s "evolutionary" design philosophy. While the hull shape remained largely consistent—a moderate-displacement fin keel with a skeg-mounted rudder—the Mark II introduced a revised deck mold that increased interior volume and improved ergonomic flow in the cockpit. This model was a cornerstone of Sabre Yachts’ early history, moving the brand from a boutique Maine startup toward its status as a premier American boatbuilder.
