I am looking at a 1985 Sabre 32. I want to know if a Windless installation is possible?

This Sabre 32 has a rather robust anchor locker, but no windless. Is it possible to install or does anyone know of a Sabre 32 that has a windless so that I could review the installation ?

Hi @V_Royster and welcome to the site.

I'm going to guess that this is the most commonly asked question on this site.


Please see reply #1. We're always glad to help if we can, but it's your choice whether you make it happen or not.

Well, if it is the most common question concerning a Sabre 32,
Apologies for my wording. What I should have said is that questions regarding the mounting of windlasses in a poster's particular boat are very common. However, the chances of someone with "your boat make, model, and year" who have a windlass and reading this post are rare to non existent.

The best source for information on Sabre sailboat is by far and away the Sabre users group, SabreSailboat groups.io Group.

Don't get me wrong, there is lots of good information on SBO and many knowledgeable and helpful members, however, the Sabre group has over 1,000 current and past Sabre owners who know their boats. Join the group and ask your question there.

That is a pretty neat windlass installation , Greg.
BUT the tool drawer is a killer.
No rattles.
