SALON
Entering the salon from the stainless steel bi-fold door the Downeast history of Sabre Yachts is evident by the teak and holly sole, exquisite cherry joinery and abundance of hand holds throughout the vessel.
Immediately to starboard is an L-shaped ultra-leather settee with partial storage under. Two drawers are below. Lying in front of the settee is a Hi-Lo high gloss table with two folding leaves. The window aft of the settee goes up and down electrically and has Ocean Air Duette style shades. Going forward is an end table cabinet with a solid surface top icemaker on a slide out shelf and a sink with folding faucet, below the countertop.
To port upon entering is a two person loveseat that electrically slides inboard to expose steps to the utility room. When slid towards the centerline the settee can be used as an extra seat at the folding table. A L-shaped two person settee is next forward and serves as additional helm seating for guests. Forward is a cabinet with a pop-up 32” Samsung TV and an Apple TV receiver.
