The Sabre was designed in 1974 by Rex Fettell OAM, who also designed the Minnow.

It is arguably the largest single-handed non-olympic class in Australia with 36 clubs sailing Sabres in all Australian states.

The class has contributed significantly to the sailing scene, particularly in Victoria, as one of the most active supporters of V.Y.C. activities.

As a training class for future world class sailors the Sabre is second to none!
