2008 Sabre Spirit 36 – Kate-ster | Elegance Meets Performance
Meet Kate-ster – a standout 2008 Sabre Spirit 36 that embodies the perfect blend of timeless Maine craftsmanship and modern performance cruising. Designed by Jim Taylor and built by Sabre Yachts, the Spirit 36 is renowned for its stunning lines, spirited sailing characteristics, and exquisite interior finish.
Kate-ster has been lovingly maintained and significantly upgraded by a knowledgeable owner with an eye for both beauty and functionality. She’s not only a head-turner at the dock but also a confident and exhilarating performer under sail.
In a major performance-enhancing refit, the owner upgraded Kate-ster with a custom carbon fiber self-tacking jib system, electric winches, and added 365 lbs to the keel, transforming her into the ideal short-handed performance racer-cruiser. Whether you're chasing sunset sails or podium finishes, Kate-ster is equipped to deliver.
