The Sabre 27 Owners' Association is an active organisation that helps its members to make the most of this proven and capable yacht. It provides technical support and its organised events take the form of meetings and various local rallies, (with and without boats), bringing the eclectic membership together to exchange experiences, information and advice.

The Association is open to any owner, part owner, or anyone interested in the Sabre 27 sailing yacht. As well as information about events and access to an excellent network of experienced & friendly Sabre owners, members receive our regular newsletter Rattling Sabres. Our up-to-date technical handbook is presented to each new member.
The technical handbook, which was produced in 2001 by our first Technical Officer, Cliff Woolley, takes the substantial form of an A4 presentation binder, containing a wealth of instructional information about the Sabre 27, and includes many useful technical articles either adapted from past Rattling Sabres or specifically written for the handbook by various members.
The Sabre 27
The Sabre 27 was designed by Alan F Hill. The prototype was built in 1969 by Eric White of Marine Construction (UK) Ltd (Marcon). Between 1969 and 1979 some 400 hulls were moulded. The moulds are still in existence and are owned by Brue Yachts of Highbridge, Somerset. Click here for more technical information
