28' Sabre Yachts Sabre 28 MkI

If you are reading this, the boat is still available. Spirit is a 1974 Sabre 28 extensively updated since 2010 and sailed on Lake Superior for much of that time. Currently located on Cayuga Lake but her custom cradle makes it fairly easy to relocate her. While cosmetically she could benefit from some fresh paint, she is exceptionally well equipped and ready for just about any adventure!
