The pretty Fisher Yarmouth 23, part of the Fisher family designed by Wyatt and Freeman, brings a welcome touch of tradition and class to the sailing scene, with the same attention to seaworthiness as her big sisters, the Fisher and Cromarty. Built to a high quality by Sri Lankan boat builders Neil Marine, under British supervision, and fitted out by British craftsmen, she is a substantial, solidly built, safe pocket cruiser for the traditionally minded, discerning yachtsman. She will turn heads wherever she sails.
The gaff rig with a bowsprit lets you fly plenty of sail while keeping the centre of effort low, and the cutter rig provides a choice of sail combinations to suit the conditions. Performing well downwind and to windward, and the top sail, while looking pretty, will also give a welcome boost in light airs.
All controls are led aft to a roomy and sheltered cockpit, and the deep bow well provides safety and comfort for crew working forward.
Jib and staysail are both furling, while the main is slab reefed with optional lazy jacks, the boom coming to rest on a clever stainless steel boom crutch system.
Below, the Yarmouth 23 has been described as something of a ‘Tardis’, with an amazingly roomy layout, over 6ft of headroom beneath the main hatch, 4 good berths, separate heads and forecabin and a moveable table for dining inside or out.
The finish throughout is superb, a beautiful gloss hull, in a range of colours, and the woodwork all finished to a standard that only the Sri Lankan boat builders are able to achieve.
