Built from 1990 to 1996, this handsome 42-footer represents Sabre Yachts' commitment to combining classic aesthetics with modern performance. Designer Roger Hewson created a well-balanced cruiser that appeals to sailors seeking both comfort and capability for extended coastal and offshore passages. The boat's moderate displacement of 19,200 pounds and substantial ballast ratio provide excellent stability, while the fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration offers reliable tracking and manageable handling characteristics. With a beam of 12.83 feet, the interior offers comfortable accommodations without sacrificing the sleek profile that Sabre is known for. Performance-minded sailors will appreciate the masthead sloop rig's 766 square feet of sail area, which provides spirited sailing in light to moderate conditions. The hull's design delivers a theoretical hull speed of 7.89 knots, making this an efficient passage-maker. The SA/Displacement ratio of 17.16 indicates balanced performance that won't overwhelm less experienced crews. With only 28 hulls produced during its six-year run, the Sabre 425 represents exclusivity in today's used boat market. The fiberglass construction and Sabre's reputation for quality craftsmanship have helped these boats retain their value while providing reliable service for serious cruising sailors.
