New Model: Sabre 40 Sedan

A much waited model from Sabre Yachts, as the new 40 Sedan starts two novelties representing innovation and efficiency in the construction and in its propulsion. Sabre's new 40 Sedan will be built with the modern environmentally cleaner infusion method, resulting in a lighter build equaling for superior power to weight ratio, and the other novelty here is the use of Zeus aft looking pods which also give better fuel economy and more performance to traditional in line shaft propulsion. Representing traditional cruiser lobster looks, the 40 Sedan is also a spacious affair offering two separate cabins, and a spacious head with shower cubicle. Worth to note is the nice galley staying in between the lower and upper deck which is a natural light affair and does not disturb the cabins below and socializing saloon. Power is from twin Cummins 380hp propelled by the ZF Zeus aft looking pod drives, which in first testing have delivered the predicted 30 knots top speed and an all time max cruise of 27 knots. For further pictures of the 40 Sedan have also a look at Sabre's Blog linked in the official website.

Project: Sabre 40 Sedan

A new generation project for USA builder Sabre and there line of motor yachts calling traditional looks is soon to be launched, with this new 40 Sedan. This project from Sabre is not just a new model outside but represents important manufacturing advances, being fully built with resin infusion, both hull and deck. This latest process in fiberglass lamination builds a lighter and stronger boat resulting also more fuel efficient. Another novelty will be the propulsion, as it is fitted with the modern and latest Zeus pod drives system, giving better fuel efficiency, saving as much as 20% on fuel costs, but also quieter and making boat handling in tight quarters a breeze. The 40 Sedan will be powered with twin Cummins QSD 5.8l at 380 hp each, coupled to CMD Zeus 3500 Pod Drives. Inside it offers a spacious environment with a lower deck offering four berths in a twin stateroom layout and a spacious single head. An optional flybridge version, with second helm station up top will also be available.
