Yacht Specs and Description

Tot Time is a great first cruising boat, she has had a lot of work put into her over our 10 years with her. Although she was built in the 70s (think she was built around 1975 as we can’t find the production number). Currently she is on land, next to the river Blackwater at Stansgate Essex.

Owners who plan to sell their Sabres are therefore advised to assemble all relevant documents and receipts, so that they can be passed on when the boat changes hands.
