Description

The Fisher 34 MkII is thought by many to be the last ‘Real Fisher 34’, later examples of the class being built with the sloop rig in place of the traditional ketch configuration. Offering the optimum mix of timeless looks, comfortable accommodation with the ketch rig is ideally suited to a motor sailer. The boat, perfectly balanced in heavy weather with only the mizzen and genoa set. The mizzen also being a valuable steadying sail when motoring in a beam sea.

Hull number 89, the Fisher 34 MkII AZIMUT was purchased by her current owners in 2019, lying in the Netherlands after an extensive search for the right example of this successful Fisher design. During 2019 she was cruised back to the UK and has since been based in Oban, used for cruising the Scottish west coast and islands. Fastidously maintained she has just been recommissioned for the 2025 season, her inventory includes highlights such as:
Original gelcoat finish to topsides and coachroof
Underwater hull antifouled spring 2025
Volvo Penta MD31A marine diesel engine.
Side power bow thurster
Mastervolt 25amp battery charger
130w solar panel with Eco-Worthy Solar Power Controller
