Sadler Yachts was founded in 1974 by David Sadler, a renowned yacht designer, and his son Martin Sadler. The company's origins trace back to the United Kingdom, where David Sadler initially made his mark by designing the popular Contessa 26. Sadler Yachts quickly gained a reputation for producing durable and seaworthy cruising yachts, combining comfort with performance. The Sadler 25, launched in the mid-1970s, was one of their early successes, known for its excellent handling and stability.Throughout the 1980s, Sadler Yachts expanded their range to include larger models like the Sadler 29 and Sadler 34. These boats featured a unique "unsinkable" double-skin hull construction with foam filling, which provided additional buoyancy and safety. This innovation helped Sadler Yachts earn a strong following among sailing enthusiasts who valued both quality craftsmanship and innovative design. By the late 1990s, economic challenges and increased competition led to changes in the company's structure. Ownership passed through several hands, yet the Sadler brand managed to endure. Today, the legacy of Sadler Yachts is preserved under the umbrella of British Harbour Yachts, based in Poole, Dorset. They continue to offer support, servicing, and upgrades for existing Sadler models, ensuring that these iconic yachts remain cherished by their owners and admirers around the world.
