The Sabre 45 Salon Express (above), already voted winner of the People’s Choice Award at the Newport International Boat Show in September, has just scored another honor. It’s been named a Top Product in Boating Industry magazine’s list of top 50 new products for 2018. The Carver C34 Coupe was the only other cruising boat on the list, which includes everything from new boats and electronics to apps. The magazine said all the winners were chosen for their innovation and impact on the industry.
Here’s what the magazine had to say about the Sabre and the Carver:
Sabre 45 Salon Express
“Sabre’s latest design features the inclusion of a utility space located between the engine room and the guest stateroom. By utilizing this space for optional utilities like washer and dryer, extra fridge or freezer, or wine-chiller, the remaining storage and galley space in the living areas are retained for their original purposes. The Sabre 45 features two private staterooms, each with their own head and shower stall. At sea trial, the Sabre 45 provided a top end speed of 32 knots and a cruise speed of 27.6 knots.”
Carver C34 Coupe
“Designed to create a live-aboard experience for a couple, the C34 has 6’ 8” of headroom throughout its main level – and as much as 6’ 5” in the lower level. The C34’s large master stateroom is accompanied by a full stand-up head with separate shower compartment. While the boat was designed with couples in mind, the C343’s versatile layout can be tailored to suit a family with children or owners who expect to host onboard guests regularly. An extra bulkhead with door is an available option, turning the C34 into a two-stateroom boat.”
