2002 Sabreline 36 Flybridge

The 2002 Sabreline 36 Flybridge is a quintessential downeast cruiser, renowned for its classic lines and robust construction. Sabreline has a stellar reputation for crafting high-quality, semi-custom yachts, and the 36 Flybridge is no exception. This model is particularly appreciated for its traditional styling, solid build, and efficient cruising capabilities. With a length overall of 36 feet and a beam of 12 feet, this vessel offers a comfortable cruising experience with a displacement of 20,600 lbs. The upgraded twin Yanmar 370hp diesel engines provide a cruising speed of 21 knots and a top speed of 29 knots, ensuring both performance and reliability. The spacious flybridge features ample seating and excellent visibility, making it ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying the open water. Inside, the craftsmanship is evident with fine woodwork and attention to detail, offering a cozy cabin with one head and a guest capacity of two. This Sabreline is perfect for coastal cruising, weekend getaways, and exploring inland waterways. While the vessel is in good condition, potential buyers should be aware of common issues such as minor gelcoat cracking and window leaks. The electronics may also require updating. Nevertheless, this Sabreline 36 Flybridge is a compelling choice for experienced boaters who value quality craftsmanship and classic design.

The Sabreline 36 Flybridge was a very successful limited-edition production yacht from Sabre Yachts. Built on the proven hull of the Sabreline 36 MKII Express, she has an 18 degree deadrise angle at the transom, wide chines and spray rails. The Sabreline 36 Flybridge gets up on a plane easily and offers one of the driest, most comfortable rides to be found in this size and type of motoryacht. The interior is fitted out in varnished American Cherry with a Teak and Holly cabin sole. Starting in the bow, the forward cabin offers a vee-berth layout with a large comfortable berth with several storage spaces below, a large hanging locker, full length mirror, and shelves with lockers on either side above the berth. There is direct and private access to the head. Just aft of the forward cabin to starboard, is a full head with Jabsco electric MSD, solid surface vanity with storage behind, opening overhead hatch and portlight, and a large shower stall with seat. The head can be accessed through doors in both the forward cabin and the galley. Just aft of the forward cabin to port is a full galley. The galley down configuration is well lit, spacious, and benefits from natural light coming from overhead through the salon windows. The cook and guests can easily maintain visual contact. The galley is equipped for cruising. An under-counter refrigerator, a convection microwave over, a ceramic cooktop and a double stainless steel sink with single lever mixing faucet, provide all the tools required for creating great meals onboard. Storage is plentiful under the counter, in the louvered door storage cabinets outboard of the sink and in the forward facing cabinets beside the microwave. Amidships is the large open and airy salon. This entire area is surrounded by large opening windows providing exceptional light and a clear view from all around the yacht. The well-equipped lower helm is starboard side forward and has a door to the starboard sidedeck for easy access. To port is a navigator’s table and aft of that, a L-shaped settee with table. Opposite to starboard is the entertainment center. On deck, you will find that safety and security were the primary concern of every design decision. Steps to the side decks are recessed so as not to steal valuable cockpit sole space. Side decks are also recessed and large diameter hand rails in 316 stainless steel offer a safe and easy passage from cockpit to foredeck. At the bow, there is a platform with anchor windlass and large lockers for storage of mooring lines and fenders. The cockpit is designed for relaxation and socializing. A transom swing door opens to the swim platform for easy access to the tender or the stainless steel telescoping swim ladder. Three large lazarette hatches with gas struts open to explore large storage areas below the cockpit. There are a cockpit wet bar, courtesy lighting, and beautiful teak coamings. The stairs to the command bridge are recessed into the back of the salon bulkhead and gently slope so as to be comfortable to climb and descend. The command bridge, with custom bimini and enclosure, comes equipped with matching custom, recently added, Stidd helm seats and an aft bench seat. The command console is equipped with a full set of engine controls and upgraded navigational instrumentation and electronics.

El Sabreline 36 Flybridge de 2002 es un ejemplo destacado de la calidad de construcción que caracteriza a Sabreline. El casco robusto y los acabados interiores de madera fina reflejan un compromiso con la durabilidad y el lujo. En términos de navegabilidad, este modelo ofrece una experiencia estable y cómoda, especialmente en condiciones moderadas, gracias a su diseño de casco semi-desplazante. Funcionalmente, el flybridge proporciona una excelente visibilidad, y la disposición interior está bien pensada para maximizar el espacio disponible, aunque es algo limitado. La eficiencia en el consumo de combustible es un punto fuerte, lo que lo hace adecuado para cruceros costeros y escapadas de fin de semana. En cuanto al valor, el precio de $219,900 es competitivo dada la reputación de la marca y las actualizaciones, como los motores Yanmar gemelos. Sin embargo, los compradores deben estar preparados para enfrentar los problemas comunes de mantenimiento, como filtraciones menores y desgaste en componentes eléctricos. Recomendaría una inspección detallada de los sistemas de dirección y eléctricos, así como una revisión del sistema de aire acondicionado. En resumen, este Sabreline es una opción sólida para navegantes experimentados que valoran la calidad y el diseño clásico.
