¿Qué cubre este video?

The Sabre 38, designed by Roger Hewson and produced between 1981 and 1995, is a performance-oriented sloop known for its balanced sailing characteristics and high-quality fiberglass construction.2:10 The vessel features a T-shaped cockpit, a semi-balanced rudder, and a mast positioned further forward than many contemporaries, which allows for lively performance without a large genoa.3:33 While the boat excels in both racing and cruising, potential buyers should prioritize inspecting the balsa-cored hull and deck for delamination or moisture, particularly around chain plates, port lights, and the mast step.5:02 The standard Westerbeke 33-horsepower diesel engine often requires significant maintenance or replacement.7:47 Other critical inspection points include the condition of the standing and running rigging, the age of the sails, and the integrity of the centerboard and lifting gear on applicable models.5:08 While the design remains timeless and structurally sound, a $100,000 asking price for a 32-year-old cored hull is excessive; a professional survey with moisture readings is essential before purchase.9:59
