Sailing (solo) with my Fisher 37 motorsailer. In this video I give proof that Fishers are not among the worst sailing yachts at all! Convince yourself too and watch this footage.

And there's the secret to getting a Fisher to go to windward - a good set of sails properly set and perhaps the cutter rig, 7.0 knots for one of these heavy displacement yachts is nothing to sneeze at! I sailed a Fisher 30 with a Bermudan rig and made more leeway than headway! This boat seems to be performing very well with a similar hull shape so the difference has to be the sails and the setting.

I love the high bulwark on these boats. Replace the triplines (lifelines) with solid handrails, and you're good to go!

Apologise for the bad camera work. I am sailing single handed and want keep one hand for my own safety (just in order to get back to my family) and one hand for the camera.

I’ve always thought that the only thing missing on a Fisher 37 is inmast furling main & mizzen but I noticed that this one has that option! Well done, protect those sails when not in use and make reefing safer too👍!

man i feel like crying. what a beautiful video. you know, i blew the chance to buy a fisher 37 15 years ago as a person with "knowledge" of them said they were a dog sailing. Well, I wish I had youtube then. Every single video in youtube has the F37 flying at 7+ knows in most cases! I've always thought that is is one of those boats with a ship's look and manly look. I love them. Now I sold my Newport 27' many years ago as I am disasbled with arthritis, so now over 10 years I don't sail, fly or do anything fun!

all any boat has to be is "good enough for who it's for". Other boats can go to weather better, or go faster, but for comfort and safety, the Fishers have a lot going for them. You match the boat to the purpose and the needs of those who will sail her.. and those folks will be happy. Many very fancy and popular designs are really quite poorly, even dangerously , built. Not the fishers from the 70;s and 80's. The materials and the build quality is really first rate.

The Fishers seem like a very nice craft. One thing I don't like is all the exterior wood trim, it might look nice but it requires a lot of potentially expensive maintenance/replacement.
@RHP-pw8xt4 жыл бұрын
If that puts you off then it's likely sailing is too much effort for you as well.

I found the sailing polar diagram you published at the Fisher owners group - I think this was you, as the provided boat name was Noorderzon. Was that diagram the result of math modeling and computation, or was it the result of many speed-wind measurements? Thanks

Hello olddog, I am honestly not aware (anymore?) that I created a polar. A long time ago I have been playing with polars for my Fisher, but ought to be never successful enough (to a certain level of trustworthiness). Can you provide a link where you found that polar?
