The Sabre 38 Mk II represents the evolution of one of Maine’s most celebrated production cruising yachts. Built by Sabre Yachts between 1988 and 1995, the Mk II was designed by Roger Hewson as a direct refinement of the original Sabre 38 (introduced in 1981). While the original model established Sabre’s reputation for "Gentleman’s performance cruisers," the Mk II modernized the design with a longer waterline, an updated underbody, and a more sophisticated interior layout. It remains a benchmark for sailors seeking a balance between handcrafted New England aesthetics and spirited offshore capability. As noted by the manufacturer in their Sabre 38 Mk II Legacy Documentation, the vessel was engineered to provide a higher level of luxury and performance than its predecessor, catering to a market that demanded both speed and comfort.
