Bilge keel modification
Resnam United Kingdom 2 Posts Posted - 24/06/2015 : 10:02:41 Hi Members I am close to buying a Sabre 27 bilger and put it in South of France. The problem is the fishing marina has only one metre depth. Is it possible to chop off three inches off a Sabre bilge keel? If so what would be the effect on ...

Keel Bolts after surveyor visit
NPMR United Kingdom 59 Posts Posted - 01/05/2015 : 09:11:28 I have hopefully (but not gladly) finally sold "HUZZAH" subject to money transfer. The surveyor has recommended that the keel bolts be examined as the boat is of that age (1971) which the buyer is going to have done. There is no s...

Cutless bearing
Iain C United Kingdom 181 Posts Posted - 08/02/2012 : 14:59:28 OK, stupid question, is this a "standard" Sabre item or does it depend entirely on the engine installation? Mine seems to sit in a pokey-out housing with a bolt vertically above and below the shaft. There is a bit of play so I ...

Salt Water Cooling
LupeLele Canada 7 Posts Posted - 28/10/2014 : 00:51:17 I believe our Yanmar YSE12 uses raw sea water to cool the engine. I have heard the salt water will greatly diminish the useful life of the engine. (The first 40 years the engine has been running only in fresh water in lakes. However, as the new ...

I've seen the photos and write up of the modification to &q...

Windvane steering
Minerva United Kingdom 27 Posts Posted - 11/02/2015 : 11:19:30 Hi all. The time has come to favor a windvane over the power hungry autohelm. If anyone has a windvane and can share their model and howit performs I would be very appreciative. Also if your sabre is a fin or twin. Minerva is a twin and ...

Rigging Tension
seasidebob United Kingdom 22 Posts Posted - 06/02/2015 : 13:57:00 Hi. Apologies if I have missed this topic in the handbook but what is the accepted wisdom on rigging tension? My last boat was a Hurley 22, a model that has a tendency to mast compression, and the "standard" for the shrouds ...
