Funky American motor sailer

[Wansworth]

Sort of like a Fisher …..excuse the American chat!…..maybe the bowsprit could be reduced and you can set a furling jib for off wind sailing.America seems to have more variety or yachts than the UK

I think Fisher owners would be quite insulted at that, they had proper sails and could actually sail. There are some very fine boats designed and built in the US, I have sailed a couple but this isn't one of them.

Yes your right that’s why I used the word funky a NorthshoreFisher could not be called funky …..but it’s interesting on a horrible wet cold day skim through possibilities .My father bought a hull and deck molding from the original company back in 1971 and rigged the 30 foot Freeward as a gaff cutter

I reckon a Fisher is more than interesting on a horrible wet cold day - it's what I want if I'm out there, sitting in the warm and dry while all those flash boats' crews are freezing their proverbials off

Coalite!……nuts

The Great Loop is probably a good bet for it though, given that 90(?)% of it is on inland waterways and the ICW. As per his video title. It might be a minger, but it’s probably quite good for the job.

We love our Fisher 34 come rain or shine - great for the children! If it shines, you open the roof, doors and windows
