Sabre 38

It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom and a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel.

[1][3] The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke diesel engine of 33 hp (25 kW) for docking and maneuvering.

The galley is at the foot of the companionway steps on the port side and includes a three-burner alcohol-fired stove and oven, an ice box or refrigerator under the cockpit and a pressurized water supply.

The boat may be optionally equipped with a boom vang and a spinnaker, including associated hardware and winches.
