The Sabre offers good accommodation, with 6' headroom
in the saloon on a 27 ft hull. Both fin and skeg and twin
bilge keels were offered. Both had an excellent ballast ratio.
They were originally moulded and fitted out by by Marine Construction
(Marcon) Ltd. of Southampton, who also moulded Trident and
Rival hulls, amongst others. Construction was solid, although
some were supplied in kit form and were thus home-completed,
hence interior fit-out standards may vary. Factory-built boats
were fairly well-finished, and stand comparison with other
UK production boats of the time, such as Westerlys. A few
late examples were built by Brue Yachts, after Marcon ceased
building them.
