Want help finding a cruising boat? / notabrokerconsulting
Fisher boats have retained much popularity with boat enthusiasts who sought a comfortable blend of a traditional sailing vessel and a motoryacht.
Over a thousand Fishers were built over the years and its classic appearance yet practical design has helped this style vessel remain popular.
“About Time” is a comfortable liveaboard or a great boat to explore the Caribbean. With its trawler style bow, canoe stern and pilot house with high, molded bulwarks, “About Time” is ready for her next owner.
Stepping aboard one immediately notices the Fishers stability and seaworthiness. Its wide and easy to navigate topsides lead back to the teak accented cockpit forward the canoe style stern. The pilothouse is accessed through a companionway door just to port of the centerline, forward of the cockpit.
Entering the cozy pilothouse, you have excellent visibility 360 degrees and substantial elevation to easily see forward and aft. A companionway located starboard of the centerline leads one down into a comfortably sized salon with galley to port. A settee, table and seating for five is located forward of the galley.
The head is located to starboard, across from the galley, next to the companionway to the upper helm. Moving forward, a roomy and comfortable sized V berth with storage below. She comes with an Avon inflatable tender, Tanbark sails, and many spare parts.

Nothing could be LESS weird than a Fisher! Proper boat, great lines and good performance.

@douglaschristie2879 Год назад

My wife and I have owned this good old boat (we've always referred to it as a character boat and it never fails to attract attention) for the past dozen years and it has taken us many sea miles around Tampa Bay, up and down the west coast of Florida and far offshore..While I can appreciate the videographers presumably good intentions here, he passes on some inaccuracies such as no shower or sink in the head.... if he had pulled on the finger hole behind the head, which is visible in his video, he would have found the tilt out sink, similarly he would have found a sink under the lid of the vanity in the captains quarters (those are sailbags on that berth, it's not actually being used for storage) and there is a cockpit shower, which can be seen on the port side next to the door. The boat was originally equipped with a diesel stove in that brass corner, never wood but it was long gone before we bought the boat which is now equipped with a 20K BTU A/C/heater. Regarding the textual information scrolling at the end of the video, you may have noticed that the head is forward to the port side not next to the companionway on the starboard side and no, the boat is not 42 feet long, it's 37 as in Fisher 37. "Hot Water Heater not installed" should be indicating that there is a new hot water heater, but it hasn't been installed. I could drone on but I won't, suffice it to say this has been and will continue to be a great old boat for someone to enjoy, nothing weird about it. Does it need work? Oh yes, but as our first surveyor advised us, "don't put it on the hard intending to completely rebuild it, you will get discouraged and quit, keep it in the water and take it sailing" so it continues to need work and it continues to sail. Enjoy!

Weird boat. Canoe stern for starters. The look beautiful, but they simply aren't worth it, too hard to mount a motor, too hard to hang a ladder, impossible to have steps, or a step-thru, and utterly compromising on cockpit room.

@ianscott3180 Год назад

I am of an age when I remember these yachts being built in the South of England. They ranged from 25 feet to 46, if my memory is correct. There was even a catamaran version. I had a friend who had one and they performed better under sail than you would expect from the look of them. Get one in to top condition and you could go round the world. Sadly, in my seventies, to late for me. I hope someone spends the time and money to give this one a new lease of life.

@dm5374 Год назад

You are entirely correct. I remember seeing the catamaran version ("Catfisher") in the English Channel during a crossing in 1978. My dad had a 30' and I still remember her dearly.

@ukoldgit 6 месяцев назад

The Company was based in Brockhamton Lane near Havant in Hampshire, next to Lewmar Marine who produced winches/windlasses, they produced a whole range of Fisher's to an extremely high standard which is why you are still seeing a usable, safe boat that has a quality hull and internal fitments. The reason I know this is I was an apprentice in those days in a factory 2 buildings away, on the other side of our building was Lewmar Marine who built RNLI Lifeboats and the majority of UK built passenger liner lifeboats and launches. The Fisher was a damned good seagoin g boat.

@johnwatt3705 Год назад

Congratulations! Fisher 37 is one of my all-time favorite motor sailors.

The Fisher is our all time favorite sailboat/motorsailer since the 70s! I think the price is pretty good as they're built so well they retain their value pretty well. Needs to be in the PNW with a nice dry wood stove as you suggested. Thanks for showing her.

Firstly, please continue to explore these unusual boats. They are great fun. Assuming that boat can be brought up to standard and fiberglass/structural issues are not involved, I cannot help feeling the cash investment will exceed the market value of the boat when it is brought back to life by a fair amount. This is a classic project boat.

@jimtitt3571 Год назад

Basically a boat in the wrong place, I come from it's home area and the Fischer was an aspirational product aimed at a certain buyer class, a bit like buying a BMW GS 1250 to ride to Starbucks but look like an intrepid round the world traveller. The deck saloon and pilot house made the usual N European weather tolerable but compromised the accomodation too much and in warm climates the cockpit ( and berths) are rubbish, sleeping beside an 80hp diesel isn't real nice! They are slow and poor to windward, the ketch mast only useful in anchorages and visibilty ( and sail control) from the helm position kills any sailing ambitions. I've also worked on three of them when I ran a boatyard in Greece. Osmosis is a real problem as is soft decks, unless exceptionally well maintained ( like re-bed all deck fittings every two years) the balsa core seperates with great pleasure. All the boats had corrosion in the main chainplates fastenings because of water from the wood bulwark coamings and the mast compression post area is to be examined carefully. The engine is nearly as old as I am, in fact I know personally the guy who supplied it! Nowhere as good as a Hallberg Rassey of that era and basically there are many better boats available for Caribbean cruising. And don't look at the laminate print- through in the darker hulls!

@saillaw2 Год назад

Did I see that correctly that the mizzen is sheeted to the stern-pulpit? I know its not a big sail but that seems sketchy. The windlass for the anchor looks like it needs a major fiberglass re-do for the mount. Was that engine oil I saw in the bilge? The boat looks like it has been seriously neglected, that price looks a bit insane for the amount of work this needs.

@lardal1502 Год назад

That’s not all the air horns are in the pilot house below the forward windscreen. I hope they are not permanently mounted there.

@douglaschristie2879 Год назад

If you look carefully at the upper apex of the pushpit you can see a loop, that was the original sheeting location for the mizzen boom from the manufacturer, didn't give much control but was apparently strong enough. I moved the sheet control to the base location using two sets of boom tackle, never any gybing and much better sail control, easily handled by the smallest crew member.

@alholston-smith7631 9 месяцев назад

This motor sailer actually has two helm positions, the rudder post extends out the rear deck behind the cockpit (visible in the stern shot) which takes a tiller handle, to give you a traditional tiller helm in the cockpit. This also serves as an emergency steering setup in case of a failure in the pilot house wheel helm control.

@stephenmajor5498 Год назад

Wow! I'm not sure if it's the optimism of your youth or the pessimism of my life experiences as an adult but at least we both agree that this baby needs a fresh diaper and some extra TLC.

@letthewindblowme2593 Год назад

There is a removable tiller in the cockpit. I delivered a 37 from Elliot ME to Manhattan but didn't get to use it.

Came very close to buying one of these. Had it under contract but engine ( a yanmar). Failed survey. Lots of metal filling in oil. Ouch. And yes they are over priced in my opinion too. A good friend of mine took his Fisher 32 non stop from England to Ft Lauderdale via the rhumb line. Very capable boats. Kind of chopped up accommodations but just a special unique boat. I had another boat that had that Ford Lehman diesel in my Cal ll-46. Great engine.

@@LearningtheLines I m just a sucker for the lines. Just so salty. I met a guy when I was cruising the South eastern Caribbean that was cruising on one and loved it. When it came time to bash into the trades they just put the pedal down and off they go, dead to windward. Not a bad trade off. And off the wind if there’s a little breeze they are fine. In very light air, not so good.

My experience with Fishers exposed poor quality control in hull fabrication that leads to significant issues. Love the design, especially the largest size, but they will need expensive fiberglas work with age. On the 37, the high bow restricts visibility from the pilot house.

The ones in England got no such issue. The problem is the lack of maintenance in usa.

@blueocean2510 Год назад

A possible solution to improve safety at sea, a vessel when it reaches 10 years, as if operated regularly for that time, it will need major work. It could be traded for a new vessels, similar to vehicles ( scrappage). A reasonable allowance could be offered against a new craft. It could ensure vessels going to sea, would be in good condition, the builders of vessels could be kept busy.

@phedrob3735 9 месяцев назад

The Fishers were built by North shore yachts at Itchenor, closr to Chichester in West Sussex. They were of high quality and extremely well built but ultimately the quality of their build became their own worst enemy as it made them so expensive for the average buyer. Also, they had started to look a little dated and were becoming to appear old fashioned to many as they lacked even some of the basic innovations that were already popular. It's a shame, as although the fisher might not win any races it would always get you there safely. Northshore went on to produce the Southerly but ultimately the company failed and though still based in Itchenor I believe now they just offer service/repair facilities.

I’ve been looking for a Fisher 37’. They are all over priced for the condition they are in. The ones I have seen have the vinyl hull liners falling off. Previous owners who have made mods have done a terrible job. Things like the stick on deck tread in the pilot house only diminish the boat’s value. So many of these need new engines, equipment and electronics. You could easily sink $80,000 and hundreds of hours into making this a good boat. I like the current design on the Neil Marine site however, I don’t know if they are still in business ( they haven’t answered my e-mail ). There were a number of different layouts of 37’s. The head where it is in this one is a bad design. The new design calls for the head to starboard of the companionway.

Keep up the good boat reviews and you will be far ahead. of other brokers. You can tell when a walk through video is done by a broker because there are usually no panoramic shots; only close-ups of areas that are in good shape to hide the water stains around port lights etc. They jump from one part of the boat to another so the viewer can’t get a good idea of the layout. The quality of broker shot videos is poor, like they don’t want to do them at all.

@derekec 10 месяцев назад

I just bought one, yet to sail it till next season. If you mean rolling, probably so...though by nature of their incredible righting ability. It's so heavily ballasted that when it rolls it pops up very quickly. Pitching...well it's a heavy boat with lot's of inertia. I'll wager it's pretty stable in pitch and the high bow helps keep the bow from dipping under the waves.
