Short History
The first Fisher yachts were built in the 1970s and today the yachts can still be ordered, but only the most popular models—25, 34, 37 and 46 feet long are still available. During the earlier years, the fiberglass hulls were molded by Fairways Marine and several companies completed the hull to complete ships. Currently the shipyard does all work itself.
The Fisher 30 was a popular model, but isn't produced anymore as the building costs are too high for the size.
As it turns out, today (Jan 2012) the whole Fisher line is actually discontinued. The builder (Northshore shipyard at Itchenor) sees future in Southerly range of swing-keeled yachts.
Latest news (Feb 2013): Northshore still builds Fishers - to order only (as it was before).

Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair;
A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
And offers for short life, eternal liberty.”

“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
