Models
Over the years the following models have been produced. The number refers to the length of the yacht in feet.
- Fisher 25: The smallest member and only type with straight stern (approximately 250 made)
- Fisher 30: For several years the most popular model
- Fisher 31: The intended successor of the 30, but not a commercial success
- Fisher 34: Currently one of the most wanted models (over 100 produced)
- Fisher 37: The larger version of the 34 (140)
- Fisher 46: The longest model. 16 ships built, the latest completed in 2007.
Beside these standard models some other types were available based on the Fisher design:
- Potter 25: seen as a full member of the Fisher family: a Fisher 25 without the raised main cabin resulting in a larger work deck directly in front of the wheelhouse. Has only one small mast; misses the main mast.
- Catfisher 28: catamaran version.
- Northeaster 30: (discontinued) based on the Fisher 30 but with longer and different design of wheelhouse. Has also an aft cabin but no open cockpit.
- Caribbean 30: (discontinued) Another Fisher 30 based yacht, but instead of larger wheelhouse: no wheelhouse at all. Sailing and steering is done from the protected open cockpit.
- Trawler: Based on the hull and wheelhouse design pure motorships.
- The Barlow 32: an Australian built yacht inspired by the Fisher line. Designed by Malcom Barlow from Australia

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
