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.

We have been contacted by someone who would like to buy a Sabre 27, although he was put off the first one he inspected because it 'looked tired' (presumably scruffy and dirty). If anybody is aware of an owner who is considering selling a Sabre, please let us k
Has anybody retro-fitted a self tacking jib system to a Sabre? If so which system did you use and what results did you achieve please?
Is there any Sabre owner whose boat has in-mast roller reefing on the main? We should like to compare impressions (and costs?) with in-boom reefing.

Has anyone used Delrin for the bottom bearing in the skeg instead of tufnol? I fancy giving it a go as I'm on a mud berth in the river Itchen. Just to try it out.
I am looking at replacing the engine on Wildcat with a new Beta20. Beta tell me that their local agent in Hamble has fitted the engine that has a standard sump in a number of boats, but I am concerned that this may be a bit tight, given the shallow bilge in th
Hello I have a Mark 1 and would like to replace the original genoa sheet Gibb winches with a fixed handle at the bottom Any suggestions? Thanks Alex
Hello I have recently purchased a fin keel Sabre 27 and would like to know if anyone had the experience of doing the maintenance of the Gibb winches with a fixed handle on the bottom? The winches on my boat are a bit stiff and presumably they need cleaning and
I am sure we have all had our heads turned by the Bavaria, but a quick glance at prices is a refreshing splash of sea spray. Having said that, my mind turned to the possibility of moving on from my Sabre. Jeaneau, Moody or Sadler appeared to be possibilities,
Is anyone able to let me know if there's a Trident 24 in this video (and, if so, where in the timecode does it appear)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v5XUCqwo7Q
Has any one out there got a Radio, Stingray 5600, by NASA marine, also goes under the Aquamarine brand. Whilst I can hear broadcasts by other stations clearly, I am getting comments that my transmissions are faint. Have any of you a similar experience or sugge
After many years of hanked foresails I have decided to install roller reefing. "Rumpus" is number 20 in the production run, therefore she is a mark 1 with the shorter mast. I would like to know what are the ideal dimensions of sail that I should look for.
