Stateroom 3 I n addition to the master and VIP staterooms the Sabre 54 offers a third stateroom equipped with over/under bunk beds. A day head services this cabin’s WC needs. The bunk room offers comfortable sleeping for two and is equipped with it’s own built-in television, DVD player and reverse cycle air-conditioning system. Exterior Helm T he helm has been carefully and ergonomically designed, and offers the latest in equipment to make the operation of the Sabre 54 easy, responsive and precise. The Volvo Penta IPS joy stick and controls allow easy maneuvering after just a few hours of training. The navigational electronics panel is large enough to house two chart plotters as well as communication radios, control heads and other navigational and night vision equipment. Access to the engine room of the Sabre 54 Salon Express is through a wide opening created by raising the step on centerline of the cockpit. This open, well insulated and well lit space permits easy access to all mechanical and electrical systems on board. Diamond pattern flooring, white gelcoated surfaces and bright LED lights illuminate this space. T he exterior spaces of the Sabre 54 Salon Express are a crew’s dream. From stem to stern, every detail has been thought out with care by people who understand boats and who understand the power of the sea. Hardware has been carefully chosen for quality and reliability, or custom built when not readily available. You will find the deck to be safe, secure, sea-worthy and comfortable to walk on. At the bow, a custom anchor roller provides the tools required to easily launch and recover two anchors. Fresh and salt water wash downs are located there for cleaning the ground tackle and all of this gear is recessed into the foredeck so that debris from the anchor and chain can drain below deck rather than down the side deck. Perimeter rails are heavy duty 316 stainless steel tubing, sized for maximum security. Hand rails are found at every point from the bow to the safety of the cockpit. Underfoot, an aggressive diamond anti-slip pattern and a wooden toe rail make footing safe and secure. Along the side deck and below the hard top overhang is a sturdy hand rail, and at the cockpit steps, another vertical hand hold is placed perfectly for side boarding from a dock. The spacious cockpit with center transom door offers two large L-shaped settees each with a handsome hi-gloss table. In addition there are two aft facing seats. A Sure-Shade cockpit awning extends to the transom to provide shade to the cockpit on hot days.
