"Jim Taylor, the Sabre Design Team and Sabre Yachts faced a daunting challenge when they sat down to develop the Sabre 402 - how to fold the latest technology for safety and performance into a proven hull, rig and interior so that the "look and feel" of their proper yacht were not compromised. They accomplished this task in a superb and elegant way... The result? Cruising World's 1997 Boat of the Year." ~ Mark Schrader - Cruising World March 1997

Magical is a well cared for example of this very popular Sabre model. Being a New England boat all of her life she has seen short seasons combined with an obvious pride of ownership by both of her owners. Recently surveyed in 2020, seller will make this survey available to interested parties.
