Hello, we recently bought a Sabre 27. As we can't find a ship to shore electricity connection we've presuming this was not fitted as standard, would that be correct?
Is it difficult to fit same? Any advice appreciated.
Kind regards and stay safe
Paula.
Ship to shore Electricity supply
Re: Ship to shore Electricity supply
Our Sabre "Pelagos" had elec supply long after she was built. Shore socket is in the cockpit starboard side aft and the converter is under seat in saloon.
She is currently for sale and if you open up link on this site to Westwater Yacht Sales you will find some pictures of cockpit

Hi John,
Thanks so much for your response.

I put in a 220V system in my new boat, much larger than a Sabre, using a domestic consumer unit with an RCD and MCBs on each circuit, bringing the power in via a galvanic isolator, to reduce the danger of stray current corrosion. I am considering fitting similar to my Sabre. For that I would just use a water resistant garage or caravan consumer unit with two MCBs like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264454641821. I'd still install a galvanic isolator, though. Use arctic spec. flex to connect to sockets, not domestic twin and earth.
