The 42 Sabre Express is a Maine-built classic, crafted by artisans with a deep respect for the sea. Its two-stateroom layout carries the ruggedly handsome profile and clean, sensible lines that define Sabre’s heritage.

Powered by twin Yanmar 6CTM-GTE2 (440 hp) diesel inboards, she delivers an ideal balance of range and performance. At 10 kts, she cruises economically all day with a range of roughly 600 nm and fuel burn under 7 gph.

Open the throttles and this yacht truly comes alive. Green Heron handles with confidence and agility, offering spirited performance throughout the RPM range. At a comfortable 2000 RPM, she runs an easy 20 kts while averaging 0.74 NMPG. Her hull design keeps bow rise to a minimum, contributing to a stable, predictable ride.

At the dock, she presents the stance of a serious cruiser. The 360-degree air-conditioned views from the helm and salon, paired with generous seating, create an expansive, inviting space that feels larger than anything else in her class.

Below deck, the interior is inviting, comfortable, and tastefully updated—striking a timeless style that looks and feels much newer than her model year. Quality materials and thoughtful finishes make the living spaces exceptionally welcoming for extended cruising or weekends aboard.
