Try google

This was the first offering

FISHER 30 MS - sailboatdata

I might also try the search functions here for PBO and Scuttlebutt. I suspect, in the day, either or both PBO and YM did a review of the vessel - and either or both magazines might be held by your local library ours carries Sail, so yours might carry PBO and YM.

Just be aware someone acquired the mold, or molds for Fisher yacht or yachts and a number were built in Mona Vale, Australia, about 5km for where we live. One was for sale recently, but single mast and 32' .

Fisher 32 Mark II

I see the occasional Fisher, they are very characteristic, but have no idea if they are UK or local versions. I also don't know how many models, LOA, were built here.

Hello. I joined the FOG and have zero replies. Rather odd.

We did get in ouch with the new yard and sadly no info at all. They are in fact building an asortment of the original Fisher designs. Bless their pea pickin little hearts. Jim

Not a ketch but an original Mk 1

Taken September, 2023. Almost no wind but the tide was taking them up to their home mooring.

I believe that is a Fisher Freeward 30. Quite rare although there are plenty of Freeward 25's around.

Yes I worked at Northshore from 1990 to 1996.

Sorry don't have any data or drawings for the Fisher 30. If I remember correctly the mould was used (widened and lengthened) to make the Fisher 31 so production stopped on the Fisher 30 around the early 1980's.

@Neeves The Fisher 32 is/was Australian only built under license. It is a different model as there were no 32's built by Fairways or Northshore.
