The Sabre 27 Forum was an incredibly useful resource for members and enthusiasts alike. Unfortunately due to relentless hackers constantly compromising the system, it had to be taken down in 2025. We have since collated all of the discussions and images into this searchable archive. Whilst new posts can’t be added, all of the useful discussions remain. Live discussion can be found on the Sabre 27 Facebook page.

Peter OD United Kingdom 50 Posts Posted - 23/03/2010 : 09:07:16 Hi everybody Both my cockpit lockers have a small amount of water in them - there do not appear to be limber holes to allow them to drain into the bilge - is this deliberate? Or can I go ahead wit
