The Sabre 456 is a wonderful example of Maine boatbuilding, a craft passed through generations of proud craftsmen and women.

While her hull and deck are built using the modern VIP resin infusion technology, her interior is crafted in the traditional manner with bulkheads and furnishings tabbed to the inner skins of the hull and deck to create a monolithic structure. This method of boatbuilding provides the strongest possible vessel, one that her owners can rely upon to take them across oceans in complete safety.

In her handcrafted American cherry interior are many fine woodworking details: an interior plan with a sumptuous master suite for a cruising couple, and a main salon and galley providing all modern creature comforts for extended periods aboard. Guests will be comfortably accommodated in an aft cabin with a private ensuite head unit.

The Sabre Design Team gave the Sabre 456 both great sailing performance and elegant comfort, the very best of the past brilliantly combined with the latest in boatbuilding technology.
