    Manufacturer Description

    The Sabre 42 Hardtop Express' helm deck is a careful study in ergonomics, surrounded by large opening windows and overhead hatches for maximum ventilation and light. Views for the helsman and crew are virtually unobstructed. The Stidd helm and mates chairs, covered in Ultraleather upholstery, provide a degree of comfort rarely found in competitors yachts. To add to cruising comfort, noise and vibration levels have been reduced with careful study of engine room ventilation and insulation. Wide side decks with large diameter stainless steel handrails, custom stainless steel portlights, line chocks and air intakes, a standard rope-chain windlass and highly polished aluminum hatches all add to the beauty and functionality of her deck. A double anchor roller makes anchoring work a breeze. The optional hard back encloses the helm deck from the cockpit with the addition of two elegant, curved windows in the corners, a sliding window to port and an aluminum entry door. Below decks her hand-crafted cherry interior adds to the sense of luxury, evident throughout, The master stateroom berth is low and wide, making it both comfortable and easy to access, The head with stall shower has private access from the stateroom and from the salon.
