The Sabre 386 came about in part because the tooling for the S-362 was simply spent after producing over 150 boats in a nine year run. It did not make sense to build new tooling for an old boat, but it also did not make sense to stray far from the S-362’s original concept, since she was still selling well after all those years. So in many ways the new S-386 design is an updated, somewhat larger, more sophisticated, and contemporary version of the still popular 362. Sabre’s engineers worked their usual magic in massaging Jim’s original layout, including adding interest via an athwartships double berth aft. Again the deck detailing was developed in Marblehead via a quite comprehensive 3-d computer model, along with the underwater appendages, including both a deep and a bulb/wing shoal keel. As always, Jim precisely tuned the sail area, stability, displacement and wetted area so that the new boat would perform to the high standards set by all her Sabre siblings. The Sabre 386 was launched in early 2005, and earned the overall Domestic Boat of the Year award from Cruising World magazine that year.
