3/21/2017 Sabre 30 Owners Manual Dear Sabre Owner: We are pleased to enclose a copy of our new Sabre Owners Manual for your boat. We have strived to make it the finest and most complete in the industry, and trust that you will find it beneficial. There is a table of contents in the front of the manual which identifies each section with two numbers which are separated by a colon. The first number refers to the general section; the second alphabetically at the end of the manual. Illustrations are referred to by an illustration number (e.g. I­14), and are located in the back of the manual. An Illustrations Index follows the table of contents. Certain diagrams refer only to a particular group of boats. These illustrations are identified by the hull numbers of those boats. Also, information in the text, illustrations, and diagrams may refer to optional equipment not found on your boat. Included in the manual are two copies of an Annual Safety Maintenance Check List. One is bound into the manual, the other is loose in order that copies can be made. It is very important that this maintenance inspection be carried out each year to assure the ongoing safety of your boat. We have strived to provide accurate information on your boat. However, all diagrams, dimensions, and data must be considered approximate on due to variations from boat to boat, and normal construction tolerances. The actual details of your boat should be confirmed by direct inspection or measurement. It is our sincere hope that you will find this manual useful in the operation and enjoyment of your Sabre. 3/21/2017 Sabre 30 Owners Manualpage Happy Sailing!

A separate loose­leaf binder is provided with individual instruction manuals and Warranty Registration cards from the suppliers of major equipment items used in the construction of your yacht. Sailing is a most enjoyable activity, but due regard must be given to the power of the sea. Your Sabre must be handled with appropriate caution and knowledge of the hazards of sailing. It also must be maintained in accordance with the instructions provided by Sabre Yachts and its suppliers, and in accordance with American Boat and Yacht Council standards. Sabre yachts are constructed in a modern plant specifically designed for the production of auxiliary sailing yachts. It is located in the small rural town of South Casco. This is a region of dedicated Maine craftsmen whose skills are ideally suited to the construction of fine yachts. Our Quality Engineering Department, staffed by engineers and experienced sailors, thoroughly monitors and inspects the construction of each Sabre to assure that it is built to our demanding quality standards. It is Sabre Yachts' policy to continually improve and modify our products. Thus you may find that your Sabre has different details or equipment than shown in this manual. In each case, the new details or equipment have been carefully evaluated to determine that it is consistent with the Sabre commitment to excellence. You Sabre is identified by a Hull Identification Number (HIN) molded into the gelcoat at the top right hand corner of the transom in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard Regulations. 3/21/2017 Sabre 30 Owners Manual Please identify your model and hull number when contacting your dealer or Sabre for any reason. The first three letters of the HIN identify the builder with the code HWS, the next two numbers identify the model (e.g. 28), the next three numbers are the hull number of your yacht (e.g. 361) and the last four digits and letters signify the month and year of manufacture (e.g.: M81A reads M81 as Model year 1981, and A as August which is the first month of the model year, B=September, C=October, etc.) It is the responsibility of your Sabre Dealer to commission your yacht in accordance with the Sabre Yachts' Commissioning Procedure, a copy of which is included in this manual. Please be sure that the Commissioning Check List is completed by your dealer and returned to Sabre, as failure to do so may invalidate your warranty. We have strived to provide you with the most complete and detailed owner's manual in the sailboat industry. Your Sabre dealer or the Sabre Yachts' Customer Service Department would be pleased to provide you with any information you require that is not in this manual. 2:00 RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR DEALER All Sabre yachts are sold through Authorized Sabre Dealers who have been selected to represent the company on the basis of their knowledge of yachts and their ability to provide you with the service you deserve. The are experts in their profession who realize that they must provide you with a high level of service and attention when you purchase a Sabre.
