1992 Sabre 34 Targa (Mark II) — Proven Maine-Built Performance Cruiser

The 1992 Sabre 34 Targa—part of the sought-after Mark II series—is a well-balanced 34-foot masthead sloop designed for sailors who want equal parts performance and comfort. With Sabre’s signature build quality and a thoughtful two-cabin layout, this boat is equally at home daysailing, club racing, or cruising the coast of Maine and beyond.

This particular example benefits from a 2023 repower with a BETA 25hp engine and 75-amp alternator, offering modern reliability in a classic package.

Layout & Interior

The Targa stands apart with a practical and comfortable two-cabin layout. Forward, you’ll find a private V-berth cabin complete with a vanity and sink, while aft to port is a true second cabin—a feature not always found on boats in this size range.

Below, Sabre’s hallmark teak joinery creates a warm, traditional feel, with accommodations for up to six. The galley is functional and well-placed for use underway, and the overall layout strikes a smart balance between privacy and open living space.

Performance

The Sabre 34 Mark II is widely respected as a true performance cruiser—quick enough to keep things interesting, but stable and forgiving when conditions pipe up. Often equipped with a wing keel, she’s also well-suited to thinner New England harbors and anchorages.
