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:
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“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)
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
