This rare, astonishingly beautifully maintained Sabre 42 Hardtop Express, the precursor to the enclosed salon model, is powered by twin Cummins 425HP inboards complemented by Mercury Zeus pods (765 engine hrs), which provides for a comfortable, stable, safe and thrilling ride, while also managing to be extraordinarily quiet and surprisingly efficient and economical. Balance is a one-owner yacht bought in the Fall of 2010, and has always been kept at a Westport yacht club each summer season and serviced and indoor stored almost exclusively at Petzold’s Marine, the Connecticut Sabre dealer, in the off season
Below are some of the highlights:
Flag Blue Hull
Four zones of reverse cycle air and heat which includes the optional second helm deck unit
Onan 11.5KW generator
Two Staterooms
Twin Cummins Zeus pods serviced by certified technicians and full maintenance records
Joy-stick Skyhook and autopilot controls
Full suite of Raymarine electronics and KVH Sat
Wet bar on helm deck with sink and fridge
Optional fold-down cockpit transom settee with custom cushions
Exterior teak just wooded and multiple coats of varnish applied.
This gorgeous boat must be seen to be believed.
