Basia 42' Sabre 42 1987

$ 114,900


BASIA is a beautiful and well maintained example of Roger Hewson's personally favorite and best design. From coastal cruising, to ocean racing (Jeff Wilson’s TACKTILE did Newport - Bermuda in 2022 and 2024), to long distance/long term/short-handed cruising, this has proven to be one of the most versatile boats of the era. BASIA is the single aft head interior layout.
