Many thanks to all who have shown an interest in Fliss - she is now sold.
After a 6 year period of very happy ownership, we have made the reluctant decision to sell our much loved and cared for Sabre 27 as we are now in the process of looking for a bigger boat.
Fliss is a bilged keeled version of the Sabre 27 sailing yacht, which gives access to creeks and harbours where others might be reluctant to go, and is one of the few versions to have her interior completed by the factory. Fliss is our first boat and, before purchase, we looked long and hard at many different makes and models and sizes of boat up to 30ft before coming across the Sabre and being very surprised by the space available in the cabin, the standing headroom and the extensive storage which exceeded that of most of the larger boats we had looked at.
We chose Fliss for a number of reasons, not least of all the new engine that had been fitted just two years before we bought her, but principally because of the all round good reputation the Sabre 27 has as a sailing vessel. She is easy to handle short handed, and many owners sail Sabres on their own. There is a very active owners association who meet up twice a year at rallies and who provide a dedicated website providing much in the way of technical information and general support.
Please take a look at the details and photgraphs on this website and if you have any questions or would like to see her, please contact us.
Update - November 2011: More exterior photgraphs added of Fliss out of the water. She has been antifouled and ready to launch.
