Title: Neat Looking Boat
Post by: wolverine on December 09, 2024, 03:42:19 PM
To me it is, but I like "quirky" boats. England has yards filled with old quirky boats and I spent many hours walking them pondering the idea of buying one and shipping it home.  I passed a Fisher a few years back returning home from VA.  It had a beautiful lapstrake dingy hanging of it's stern.

I totally agree. So many unique small sailboats from England! Lots in the 17' to 22' range.
The Fisher is a wonderful design. I was aboard one on the west coast a few years ago and was surprised by the room.

I've heard they are built tough, and they do look like that may be so.
