Seeking advice on buying a Fisher
by
Matt Guerreiro
I am thinking of buying a Fisher 46 variant custom built with a steel hull. (You can read the specifications for it here: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/pl_boat_full_detail.jsp?slim=broker&boat_id=1075675&ybw=&hosturl=emeraldyachtship&&ywo=emeraldyachtship&&units=Feet&access=Public&listing_id=15064&url=&hosturl=emeraldyachtship&&ywo=emeraldyachtship& or navigate to http://www.emeraldyachtship.com/ and look at the "Custom 46' Motorsailer" in the "Yachts for Sale" section.)
This boat was built in 1982, weighs approximately 60,000 lbs. and has a single headsail, unlike many of the other Fisher 46's I have read about.
My question is, how will this boat perform under sail? How close to the wind is it likely to point? What speed will it likely attain with, say, winds of 15 knots?
Any answers and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Matt Guerreiro
