The RAREST British Motorsailer: Fisher 46 Full Tour & Review

Join us aboard the legendary Fisher 46, one of the rarest and most respected classic British motorsailers ever built. Produced by Fairways Marine and later Northshore Yachts in the 1970s and 1980s, only around fifteen of these exceptional trawler-style yachts were ever launched, making each one a true collector's piece and a bluewater icon. This detailed review covers everything you need to know about the Fisher 46: her rugged North Sea trawler-inspired double-ender hull, massive 51-foot overall length with 15-foot beam, 25-ton heavy displacement, long keel for superb tracking, and the signature enclosed pilothouse that provides all-weather comfort and 360-degree visibility. We dive into the practical ketch rig that's easy to handle shorthanded, the spacious afterdeck, and why this design excels in heavy weather and long passages. Step inside to explore the warm varnished teak interior, generous three-cabin layout, airy pilothouse saloon with helm and dinette, practical galley, large aft master suite with en-suite head and separate shower, and thoughtful storage that makes her ideal for extended liveaboard cruising. We discuss real-world performance under sail and power (typically 120-140 hp diesel delivering economical 7-8 knot cruising speeds with exceptional range), her legendary seaworthiness, soft predictable motion, and why owners rave about crossing oceans or wintering in high latitudes without drama. If you're searching for a timeless, no-nonsense motorsailer that combines trawler toughness with genuine sailing ability, unmatched build quality, and character that modern yachts rarely match, the Fisher 46 is in a class of her own.
