With the introduction of the Sabre 47 in October 1996, Sabre redefined a style of motoryacht. At one time, a "downeast motoryacht" described a modified version of a workboat, converted for use as a private yacht. These designs included many famous fishing trawler and lobster boat hulls.
Their flat shear line and flaring bows introduced the handsome, conservative and rugged look which has now become the "downeast style." Designed for comfort in rough, offshore conditions, yet capable of smooth running at top speeds of over twenty knots, these modified deep-vee hulls quickly gained popularity as they earned a reputation for reliability and seaworthiness.
The Sabre 47 is the fourth in a range of Sabre designs first introduced in 1989. Like her stablemates, she will impress you with her comfort and her performance. She is indeed worthy of the title "downeast motoryacht."
