Built during Sabre's golden era of performance cruising design, this 38-footer represents the Maine builder's commitment to creating boats that excel both at the dock and under sail. Sabre developed a strong reputation for producing well-balanced sailboats that appealed to discerning sailors seeking quality construction and thoughtful design details. The Sabre 38 embodies the yard's philosophy of blending cruising comfort with sailing performance. Her moderate proportions and carefully engineered hull shape make her well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, while still possessing the capability for longer passages when properly equipped. The boat's design reflects Sabre's understanding of what recreational sailors actually need—enough performance to be engaging under sail, but with the stability and interior volume to serve as a comfortable cruising platform. Like other Sabre models from this period, the 38 likely features the builder's attention to joinery details and finish quality that made the brand respected among serious sailors. Her size places her in the sweet spot for couples or small families looking for a boat capable of extended cruising without requiring a large crew to handle effectively.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
