Sabre 34 Series II (Hull nos. 257-PRESENT)
Description
Sabre 34 Series II (Hulls #256–430) The Sabre 34 Series II, also known as the Mark II or Mk II, is the refined successor to the original Sabre 34 Mk I, produced by Sabre Yachts in Wiscasset, Maine, USA. Built from 1986 to 1991, this evolution introduced subtle yet impactful enhancements for improved performance and comfort, including a longer waterline (for better speed and stability), wider beam aft (for more interior volume), and an optional wing keel for shoal-draft versatility. Retaining the Mk I's core strengths—a moderate-displacement hull with fin keel, skeg-hung rudder, and masthead sloop rig—it offers lively upwind pointing (PHRF ~120–132) and forgiving handling in 20–30 knot winds, thanks to a ~40% ballast ratio. The hand-laid fiberglass construction (solid below waterline) and luxurious teak interiors make it a bluewater-capable coastal cruiser, with options for aft-cabin (A-C) and Targa hardtop variants adding privacy and all-weather usability. A total of 175 hulls were built (hulls #256–430), with the final example (#430) completed in 1991 as a wing-keel model. As of January 2026, these yachts are cherished classics, with used values at $40,000–$75,000 USD. Sabre provides ongoing support through owner portals for manuals and parts.
