The BADGER is a 1984 model Sabre 34 Mk I as produced by Sabre Yachts of Casco, Maine. First introduced in 1976 for the 1977 model year, the "34 Mk I" was manufactured through 1985! By any standard, that run of some 255 examples indicates that she was a very successful model for Sabre Yachts. In fact, a Sabre 34 Mk I such as the BADGER remains to be a great choice for the current market as it relates to the quality of build as well as her performance & traditional "good looks" too. 

The BADGER shows beautifully with her AWLGRIP Black topsides & white boot & gold cove stripe. The exterior teak is nicely-varnished and the interior is in exceptionally good condition as well. Recent upgrades to the BADGER include her newer QUANTUM sails and HARKEN Roller-Furling. Her systems have been well-maintained & updated as necessary as a reference to the Listing will note. 

The BADGER is offered for brokerage sale this Fall as the Owner's boating plans have changed over the years. Purchased back in 2004, she's provided years of good service to this Family. Given her uniquely-good condition and also equipped to fulfill a Club "cruiser-racer" mode as well, any qualified client is urged to have a look. The BADGER represents an opportunity to acquire one of the best sailing yachts available in her class with her SABRE pedigree & attributes as well as in this size & price range. 

The BADGER is located at her Winter Storage facility in Stratford, CT.
