The Sabre 402 represents a pinnacle of the "performance cruiser" era for Sabre Yachts, a period where the Mainebased builder successfully married the aesthetics of a traditional Downeast vessel with the underwater geometry of a modern racing yacht. Launched in 1996, the 402 was designed by the Jim Taylor/Sabre Design Team to replace the older Sabre 38 and 42 models, filling a critical gap in the midsize cruising market. The design was an immediate critical success, earning the prestigious Overall Boat of the Year honors from Cruising World in 1997. Built with a focus on structural integrity and handfinished joinery, the 402 remains one of the most soughtafter models on the brokerage market for sailors who refuse to compromise between clubracing speed and bluewater comfort.
