SOLD 1987 Sabre 42 CB

Overview

‘Senta’ is a 1987 Sabre 42 Centerboard. The Centerboard is highly desirable option expanding the sailing performance while not limiting her harbor access. “Roger Hewson, the Sabre 42’s designer, clearly had a broader focus than pure performance when drawing her lines: He intended her to be comfortable and safe in open ocean.” – Rich Hoyer, Rover’s Blog. The overall original condition of Senta is near immaculate, with recent additions such as solar power, A/C and Bow Thruster. The current owner has spent the last 8 years of ownership refitting the mechanicals, rigging and amenities, which has made Senta up to date from bow to stern. She is suitably powered with a regularly serviced, Westerbeke 46HP that has 1470 hours. Senta can be enjoyed in local cruising or sailed up and down the eastern seaboard.

She sleeps 7. The master cabin forward cabin sleeps 2 in the V berth and has a guest head with shower adjacent and to port with a large hanging locker opposite to starboard. The salon can sleep 3 on the traditional settee to starboard and a convertible dinette/double berth opposite to port. Down the ladder to port is the galley with the aft facing nav. station opposite. Aft to port is a large double berth cabin with its own door to the aft head. The second head is aft to starboard. Nicely finished with varnished teak throughout and teak & holly soles. very well ventilated with 12 opening ports, 9 hatches and 4 dorade vents.

Galley

The galley is mid-ship to port with a double S/S sink w/ hot and cold pressure water and manual cold water using a Whale foot pump, freezer/refrigerator, 3 burner gas stove and oven (current gas bottle half full with 2 completely full spares), and plenty of cabinets and drawers for storage. Ample counter space.

SeaFrost holding plate system is very reliable and can be run off 2 compressors: 1) Engine driven compressor (R134a) quickly (room temp to frozen in 30 min) freezes plate if engine is running, and 2) for quite at anchorage, owner installed a SeaFrost 12 volt Tradewinds XP (2016) unit with digital controller as secondary way of keeping refrigerator/freezer cold.
