1997 Sabre 402

This 1997 Sabre 402 is a 40-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built to blend racing performance with cruising comfort. Designed by Jim Taylor and constructed by Sabre Yachts, the boat features a notably deep 7'4" fin keel and tall rig—a configuration found on only a few examples of this model. These elements deliver strong upwind capability and responsive helm characteristics, with the increased sail area supporting performance in lighter winds.

The interior showcases cherry woodwork throughout and includes two private staterooms alongside a well-appointed galley, accommodating both extended cruising and active sailing. The deck and cockpit are thoughtfully laid out for efficient handling and practical seamanship. A Yanmar diesel engine rated at 50 horsepower provides reliable auxiliary power.

Current equipment includes an extensive sail inventory, Wallas forced-air diesel heating for cold-weather comfort, and batteries replaced in 2024. The boat reflects the quality fit and finish typical of Sabre Yachts construction, with a tender package also included.
