Salon Master Stateroom T T he traditional downeast styling of the Sabre 54 is blended with modern appointments, and with light, airy, open and welcoming spaces. Entering through her full-size stainless steel framed sliding door, one is immediately aware of the light and brightness of the salon. With large surrounding windows and an electrically controlled sunroof overhead, the sense of space is dramatic and convivial. To port and starboard are luxurious U-shaped settees and beautiful inlaid tables with elegant high gloss finish. At the helm station two Stidd helm seats are mounted on a cabinet containing a standard icemaker, glassware storage and a large LCD television mounted on an electrical lift. Outboard of the helm is a weatherproof, hinged door providing direct access to the side deck from the helm station. The navigational instruments pod is large and offers adequate space for multiple screens as well as the Volvo Penta engine controls. The Volvo Penta joystick is mounted on the helmsman’s armrest. P erhaps no space in this luxurious motor yacht is as striking as the master suite. Shoji style passageway doors open to a large and welcoming stateroom. An early decision in the design process led us to locate the master cabin amidships, where wave noise and motion are at a minimum. A hull port above the head board allows light from the water to reflect into the cabin, where a comfortable queen-sized berth is surrounded by wood working details that can only be created by boat builders with exceptional skills. Lighting is exceptional throughout the master suite with cool LED overhead lights, all dimmable from switches at the head board. A flat screen LCD television and DVD player are conveniently located on the bulkhead opposite the master berth. Many drawers are located in the aft master stateroom bulkhead and hanging lockers are found on each side of the berth. In addition, there are four large drawers under the berth. he master head and shower are luxurious. With ceramic tile on the sole, a vessel sink with designer faucet mounted in an elegant high-gloss varnish countertop, a rain shower head in the glass enclosed shower and glass tile décor on the walls of the shower, this head unit is the work of the designers art.
