The Sabre 38 stands as one of the most respected mid-sized performance cruisers to emerge from the golden era of Maine boatbuilding. Introduced in 1981 and designed by Sabre founder Roger Hewson, the model was intended to bridge the gap between the spirited handling of a racing yacht and the robust reliability of a coastal voyager. Over its production run, which lasted through the late 1980s, the hull earned a reputation for its "all-weather" composure and a level of interior joinery that rivaled much larger, more expensive custom builds. The Sabre 38 was eventually followed by the Sabre 38 Mk II, which utilized the same high-performance hull but introduced a significantly modernized deck and interior arrangement, and later the Sabre 386, which was an entirely new Jim Taylor design.
