Serenity: The Art of a Special Sabre 28
For those who understand the difference between a good sailboat and a great one, Serenity is a true classic. Built with the renowned Maine craftsmanship of Sabre Yachts, this Mark 2 has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, making her a truly exceptional vessel. Here’s what sets her apart from the rest.
Main Halyard Lines Lead to the cockpit. So, you can raise and control MainSail without going forward for ease of operation.
Lewmar No. 8 winches, which are high-quality marine-grade winches for sailboats. Lewmar's Ocean Series No. 8 Standard Winch is a well-regarded, durable, and reliable product.
Positioning a traveler at the stern of a sailboat offers excellent control over the mainsail.
Key advantages of a stern-mounted traveler
Clear deck and cockpit: A stern-mounted traveler keeps the cockpit and deck clear of lines and hardware, improving safety and providing more space for guests.
Powerful mainsheet control: When the traveler is located at the end of the boom, it provides the most direct and powerful control over the mainsail's twist and shape.
Effective for sail trim: It allows for independent adjustment of the boom's sheeting angle and the sail's tension, enabling fine-tuning of the sail shape for optimal performance and control of the boat's heel.
Extra cleats in the cockpit are used for two primary purposes: a twin-mainsheet system for controlling the main sail and installing midship cleats for improved docking control. Both arrangements offer significant advantages for convenience and safety.
