42' Sabre 42 Fly Bridge Sedan

Introducing "ZANNER," an exceptional original owner Sabre 42 with the Flybridge option, providing dual station operation for an unparalleled cruising experience. This exquisite downeast Flybridge cruiser stands out in its size range and category. The  owners collaborated closely with Sabre, selecting numerous options and implementing custom refinements to enhance the standard yacht. Positioned in the fresh/brackish waters of the Connecticut River, she has navigated Long Island Sound and the nearby New England waters during the brief Northern season. She has been meticulously stored and maintained by one of the region's leading yards, ensuring her impeccable condition.

This Sabre model has achieved significant success, often built in the Salon Express configuration, with a notable percentage featuring the Flybridge factory option. This addition provides an enhanced dimension to the vessel, offering spectacular sightlines that are advantageous for navigation, observing traffic, channel markers, and sea conditions. Should conditions necessitate the use of the lower station, it remains fully functional with excellent sightlines, and the pilothouse door allows the skipper to assist on deck effortlessly. The joystick maneuvering system, complete with Skyhook, simplifies close-quarters maneuvering and docking.

"ZANNER" is undoubtedly one of the most elegantly and thoughtfully appointed cruising yachts in her class, reflecting the dedication invested in her design and upkeep. We invite you to arrange an inspection at your earliest convenience to appreciate her exquisite features firsthand.

FLYBRIDGE - UPPER & LOWER HELM STATIONS

The flybridge of a yacht is a marvel of modern design, offering both functionality and luxury. Positioned as the optimum location to navigate and enjoy the day, this elevated area provides unparalleled views and a sense of command over the vessel. Let's delve into the features and advantages that make the flybridge a delight for both captains and guests.
The flybridge is equipped with a plethora of factory options that elevate its status beyond the base Express model. The inclusion of full electronics, dual Stidd seats, a Bimini top, and a stainless steel mast significantly enhance the operational prowess and comfort of the yacht. These additions contribute over $100,000 to the production costs, but the benefits they provide are well worth the investment. Advanced Electronics and Instrumentation
One of the standout features of the flybridge is its state-of-the-art electronics array, configured by the region's leading electronics firm. With an open checkbook, no expense was spared in ensuring that every piece of equipment works flawlessly. The comprehensive electronics system includes navigation aids, communication devices, and safety mechanisms, all within arm's reach of the captain and mate.

The flybridge is designed with both the captain and guests in mind. The Stidd seating for the captain and mate offers ergonomic comfort and easy access to all controls and instrumentation. For guests, the L-Settee with its accompanying table provides a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy the journey. This seating arrangement fosters a social atmosphere, allowing guests to engage with the captain and participate in the adventure.

Practicality is a key consideration in the design of the flybridge. Numerous lockers and storage spaces are strategically placed to keep essential items within easy reach. A dedicated chart table with a clear plexi cover ensures that navigational aids are protected yet visible, facilitating seamless route planning and execution.

The flybridge is more than just an elevated deck; it is a command center, a social hub, and a testament to thoughtful design. Its combination of advanced electronics, comfortable seating, and ample storage makes it an indispensable part of the yacht.
