The Sabre Dinghy is a class single-handed dinghy 3.76 m long. The boat was designed in 1974.. The Sabre is sailed in more than 50 clubs across Austrlaia.

The boat is built in either fibreglass or as a composite (timber deck and fibreglass hull) or plywood by the stitch and glue method and weighs in at minimum of 41 kg .

The rig is simple and easily handled but still provides exciting performance in a breeze.

Being easy to sail and suited to all sailors of varying abilities, it is popular both with learners and the less physically strong sailors who find more powerful boats like the Laser overpowering.

This year the State Championships regatta is returning to Humpybong after a long absence. The class was very strong at Humpybonhg in the mid to late 1970s and the club has hosted a number of Sabre regattas in the past.

This year's event will be held in conjunction with the Autumn round of the HYC Club Chanpionships
