Boat Details
Description
The Sabre 386 was named Cruising World's Boat of the Year in 2005, and was the product of a many years collaboration between the famed race boat designer Jim Taylor and the Sabre Design Team.
Chrisoula is a terrific example of this very successful model. Chrisoula's one owner has used the boat lightly, gently, locally, kept it docked at his home during the Spring and Summer, and under a custom Fairclough cover on the hard in the off season. Among the updates and highlights are:
Winter/Spring 2024:
- Stored inside at Safe Harbor Bruce & Johnson with the following work performed:
- Hull: Painted with Flag Blue Awlgrip and Clear Coat on Flag Blue gelcoat
- Exterior brightwork wooded, treated with 3 coats of Retol, and one coat of Retol gloss.
- Replaced exhaust elbow
- New batteries
- New grey water pump
- New bilge pump
- New blue fender covers (on order)
Additional Highlights:
- 4'10' Wing Keel
- Yanmar 40HP with low hours
- Two Staterooms
- (2019) Doyle Main and Dutchman System
- (2019) Doyle 145% Genoa
- (2019) Doyle Cruising Asymmetric Spinnaker
- (2022) New covers for Dodger, Mainsail and Cockpit Console
- All cockpit cushions matching main cabin cushions
- Stereo and cockpit remote control
- New electronics upgrades include Raymarine HD Color Radome
- Lewmar Windlass
- Custom Fairclough Cover
The owners of this beautifully maintained cruiser racer are spending most of their time in the West, and regrettably must part with Chrisoula.
