The KINSHIP was produced as a 1984 model SABRE 38 Mk I CB and has the Factory Keel-Centerboard Option. She's hull #66 of some 100 "Mk I's" as produced by SABRE YACHTS of Maine from 1981 through 1987. The KINSHIP has the "Classic Interior Layout" with the Quarter Berth aft and with the Head forward.

The KINSHIP is a good, sound & lightly-used example of this SABRE YACHTS 38 Mk I cruising classic. She equipped for cruising on Long Island Sound & New England waters as these Owners have done for the past 25 years. Given her excellent overall condition, the KINSHIP is a great opportunity for knowledgeable sailors and requires little to be sailed & enjoyed for the 2023 Season.

The KINSHIP is presently located at her Summer Marina in Westport, CT. She's now in full commission for the 2023 Season. Appointments for a viewing are certainly to be encouraged for the KINSHIP for cruising sailors who are actively in the market for such a solid value as represented by this particular SABRE 38 Mk I CB.

NOTE: Most of the "in the water" Listing Photos were taken in the late Summer & early Fall of 2022 while the KINSHIP was at her Summer Slip.
