T
he deck of the Sabre 48 is a study in ergonomics with security and comfort at the forefront of each design decision.
Her swim platform is extra deep to accommodate the “annex” that serious cruisers will want to take along. A
factory option hydraulic dinghy lift mounts below the standard platform. Two easy steps up to the elevated
cockpit and just one short step into the main salon makes movement around the deck sure and steady.
Her comfortable cockpit is the place where friends and neighbors will want to gather on the
L-settee and aft facing seat. A beautiful, oval shaped table is standard and when folded
the table’s frame offers a secure hand rail. Engine room access is through a large
hatch in the cockpit sole.
On the wide walkways of the side decks, Sabre’s antiskid
surface offers good footing and large diameter hand rails are
always within reach. Moving forward to the foredeck for
anchoring and mooring maneuvers, the elegant teak
toe rail offers additional security and the perimeter
rail is extra high. Once at the bow, the flat deck
with handy anchor windlass and mooring
cleats are both easy to reach and easy
to use. Large deck lockers here
accommodate the yachts fenders
and dock lines.
