Description

The Fisher 25 was launched in 1975, the smallest of the popular range of Fisher Motor Sailors designed by Wyatt and Freeman. Retaining the iconic Fisher profile the design also retains the robust build of her larger sisters. With over 250 hulls built and the Fisher 25 MkIII still in production the design has proven to be a popular choice with those seeking a small and capable motorsailer.

Currently lying ashore the Fisher 25 MACGUFFIN has just had her annual maintenance regime completed, including:

Servicing of engine
Wash and polish of topsides and coachroof
Professionally re-coating of the external brighwork
Application of fresh antifouling

The Fisher 25 MACGUFFIN is now ready to be launched for the 2025 season, launching is planned for mid-March 2025. Available for immediate viewing by prior appointment.
