5:00 THE SABRE DESIGN CONCEPT ­ SABRE 30

All Sabre models are designed as high performance cruising yachts to combine the virtues

of spacious cruising accommodations with race­winning potential at the club race level.

Our first model, the Sabre 28, was designed with the aid of an extensive model tank test

program at the Stevens Institute.  Our subsequent updates of the Sabre 28 design, and our

other models, have evolved from the success of this development program plus our extensive

racing and cruising experience each year in various Sabre models.  Sabre has built a

number of experimental boats to try out new concepts and ideas, and the best of these have

been incorporated in our standard models over the years.

The hull shapes of our models have been designed with the optimum combination of low wave

and friction resistance with maximum load carrying ability.   Excellent stability is

achieved by hull form and a high ballast ratio, rather than relying on a large crew

sitting on the rail.  Our efficient high­lift keel shapes are derived from NASA foil

sections developed from aeronautical research.  A skeg section is faired into the hull
