1987 Sabre 42 CB

‘Senta’ is a 1987 Sabre 42 Centerboard. The Centerboard is highly desirable option expanding the sailing performance while not limiting her harbor access. “Roger Hewson, the Sabre 42’s designer, clearly had a broader focus than pure performance when drawing her lines: He intended her to be comfortable and safe in open ocean.” – Rich Hoyer, Rover’s Blog. The overall original condition of Senta is near immaculate, with recent additions such as solar power, A/C and Bow Thruster. The current owner has spent the last 8 years of ownership refitting the mechanicals, rigging and amenities, which has made Senta up to date from bow to stern. She is suitably powered with a regularly serviced, Westerbeke 46HP that has 1470 hours. Senta can be enjoyed in local cruising or sailed up and down the eastern seaboard.

Accommodations:

She sleeps 7. The master cabin forward cabin sleeps 2 in the V berth and has a guest head with shower adjacent and to port with a large hanging locker opposite to starboard. The salon can sleep 3 on the traditional settee to starboard and a convertible dinette/double berth opposite to port. Down the ladder to port is the galley with the aft facing nav. station opposite. Aft to port is a large double berth cabin with its own door to the aft head. The second head is aft to starboard.

The galley is mid-ship to port with a double S/S sink w/ hot and cold pressure water and manual cold water using a Whale foot pump, freezer/refrigerator, 3 burner gas stove and oven (current gas bottle half full with 2 completely full spares), and plenty of cabinets and drawers for storage. Ample counter space.

SeaFrost holding plate system is very reliable and can be run off 2 compressors: 1) Engine driven compressor (R134a) quickly (room temp to frozen in 30 min) freezes plate if engine is running, and 2) for quite at anchorage, owner installed a SeaFrost 12 volt Tradewinds XP (2016) unit with digital controller as secondary way of keeping refrigerator/freezer cold.
