The Sabre 30 Mark I, often identified as the 30-1, was introduced in 1979 as the sophisticated successor to the pioneering Sabre 28. Designed by Roger Hewson and the Sabre Design Team, this model was intended to bridge the gap between a spirited club racer and a legitimate family cruiser. Built in Raymond, Maine, during an era when the shipyard was cementing its reputation for "yacht-grade" finishes, the 30-1 features a solid fiberglass hull and a balsa-cored deck. With roughly 500 units produced across its entire production run (including the subsequent Mark II and Mark III iterations), the Sabre 30 remains one of the most successful 30-footers of its generation, prized for its classic Downeast aesthetic and robust construction.
