This week several dealers came to sea trial the Sabre 40. Now, these are all very opinionated, professional boat people who have handled hundreds if not thousands of vessels. Each and every one of themwere very impressed with the fit and finish, the operation and performance and of course, with the quietness of the boat. As word of the boats first launch has spread many new inquiries and earlier prospects have stepped forward to express new interest.
As we work on the color brochure and video here are some additional images of the interior and of the boat underway, for you to enjoy.

Bentley,
Thanks for the pics. She's beautiful.
Given that the breaker panel is in the salon cabinet, where is liquor bottle storage?
Where would the icemaker be installed?
And my last question you have answered for someone before but I could not find it. Whay can't you make a center opening windshield? I was just reviewing pictures of the Grand Banks 39 Eastbay, which has an opening windshield, and its design seems identical to the Sabre. The only difference I could see was the height of the cabin sole, which could possibly make the mechanism a head banger on the Sabre.
Thank you

Another question, Bentley. Can you offer a factory option to match the finish on the Stidd pedestals with the table pedestal, or is white the only option? I won't get a chance to see the boat in person for another month, but the white sharply contrasts in pictures.

Bob I think there's a bit of heat from the flash there in that image. We do present the bases in "Sabre white" which is more beige than white. Nonetheless we can get chrome bases from Stidd.
We look forward to your visit

Bob the answers to your question from your first post are:
I think the best bottle locker storage would be in the drawer under the microwave that slides towards the salon.
We have designed a very cool cabinet for the cockpit starboard side of the entry door, where an icemaker and grille are installed.
The center opening windshield requires a place where the drive motor can be mounted on centerline but in this design that point is in open space in the companionway.

Bentley,
Thank you for the responses. Do you have any boats under construction with the dinette and/or the cockpit cabinet options, and any pics you could share of those configurations? Also, I have seen pics of the engine room. Where would the washer/dryer be installed? Thank you in advance.
