Sabre Yachts Design Team has recently completed work on a new 38 Express. Like the successful Sabreline 42 Hard Top Express this new 38 footer is designed and built for comfort, whether underway or at rest. The helm deck is a careful study in ergonomics. Surrounded by large opening windows and overhead hatches for maximum ventilation and light. Views for the helmsman and crew are virtually unobstructed. The helm and mate`s chairs, covered in Ultraleather upholstery, provide a degree of comfort rarely found in other boats. To add to cruising comfort, Sabre`s engineers have reduced noise and vibration levels substantially with a careful study of engine room ventilation and insulation. Below decks her hand-crafted cherry interior adds to the sense of luxury, evident throughout this fine yacht. The stateroom berth is low and wide, making it both comfortable and easy to access. A pocket door separates the salon and stateroom while the head with stall shower has private access from the stateroom and from the salon. The main salon is configured with a long L-shaped settee and, our inlaid salon table which drops to form a second berth. A standard thin screen TV and DVD player are recessed in to the furniture of the main cabin bulkhead. Her well equipped galley offers an electric cook top, convection microwave oven and coffee maker along with plenty of storage for extended voyages. The Sabreline 38 Hardtop Express is a yacht destined to become a classic for years to come.
