The Sabre 386 is a performance cruising sloop designed by Jim Taylor and built by Sabre Yachts of Maine from 2004 to 2009. Winner of Cruising World''s Boat of the Year award as Best Mid-Sized Performance Cruiser and Overall Domestic Boat of the Year upon its introduction, the 386 represents the top of Sabre''s mid-size range — a step up from the 362 with a more powerful rig, a deeper fin keel option, and a stiffer, faster hull. At 38 feet 7 inches with over 763 square feet of sail, a beam of nearly 13 feet, and a ballast-to-displacement ratio approaching 39%, the 386 delivers genuine offshore performance without sacrificing the quality interior fit-out that Sabre is known for. A wing keel option broadened her market appeal by reducing draft to under five feet while retaining most of the deep-keel boat''s performance.
