The Sabre 452 was voted "Best Full-Size Cruiser (41-47 feet)" for 1998 by Cruising World Magazine. Sabre commissioned Jim Taylor Yacht Design to design a 45 foot cruiser that combined performance and comfort without compromising either. Jim's work in conjunction with the work of the Sabre Design Team produced a boat that has exceeded our expectations, and which Cruising World Magazine called, "one of the year's best-sailing boats."
