Boat Overview
The Sabre 456 is a remarkable example of Maine boatbuilding, a craft passed through generations of proud craftsmen and women.
Her hull and deck are constructed using modern VIP resin infusion technology, while the interior is crafted traditionally, with bulkheads and furnishings tabbed to the inner skins of the hull and deck, creating a monolithic structure. This method ensures a strong vessel that owners can rely on for safe ocean crossings.
Interior Features
The handcrafted American cherry interior features fine woodworking details, including:
- A sumptuous master suite for a cruising couple
- A main salon and galley equipped with modern comforts for extended periods aboard
- An aft cabin with a private ensuite head unit

The Sabre Design Team has combined great sailing performance with elegant comfort, merging the best of traditional craftsmanship with the latest boatbuilding technology.
