- Fisher 34 Ketch 1979 Speyfisher - SSR184225
I purchased Speyfisher in 2016 but for various personal reasons, she has spent most of time since then on the hard and has sailed a total of no more than 10NM in my ownership. Small Boat registered. Built in 1979 (hull number 065) she spent her early years in Harwich. The original owner was the FOA secretary for many years.
Unfortunately, my personal circumstances are such that there is no longer any reasonable prospect of my being able to sail Speyfisher in any meaningful way and I am therefore looking to find a new owner for her.
(SPeyfisher shown with cockpit tent deployed. NB Rutland wind generator is no longer fitted)
The survey conducted for me when I bought the boat concluded that
Speyfisher is a solid vessel and is in good structural condition. Most of the Advisory repairs are of general maintenance and if these together with the Recommendations are carried out, she will provide many years good service given normal maintenance and prudent handling
The advisories and recommendations were addressed immediately after purchase and since then she has had many thousands of pounds spent on her as can be seen from the description below. She has received as much TLC as I was able to give her, but in this respect, there remains some more to do in terms of general refurbishment and updating of the furnishings and accommodation.
Speyfisher is priced at £44,950
