Fisher Freeward 25 now in online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Fisher Freeward 25 – Classic motorsailer with character General overview of the Fisher Freeward 25 The Fisher Freeward 25 is a compact motorsailer with a distinctive appearance and robust construction. This particular model was built in 1976 by the renowned Northshore Yacht Yard in the United Kingdom. With a length of 7.70 meters, a beam of 2.85 meters, and a draft of 1.10 meters, the vessel is suitable for both inland waters and sheltered coastal areas. The hull is made of polyester and features an S-shaped design, contributing to the stability and seafaring behavior of the ship. The air draft of 11 meters allows passage under most bridges on the Dutch major inland waterways. The headroom inside is 1.80 meters, providing reasonable freedom of movement in the interior. The boat has four fixed berths, making it suitable for multi-day trips with a small group. Fisher Freeward 25 now in online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Interior and accommodation Inside, the Fisher Freeward 25 has a simple yet functional layout. There is a dining area, a cooking stove, and a manual toilet. The water tank has a capacity of 50 liters. The toilet discharge goes directly into the open water. The interior suffered damage after the ship briefly submerged in freshwater in the summer of 2025. This incident led to interior deterioration, but the engine was unaffected and operates properly. The engine has been winterized and underwent major maintenance in 2025. Engine and sailing characteristics The boat is equipped with a 23 hp Volvo Penta MD11C diesel engine. This two-cylinder engine is electrically started and consumes an average of 2.5 liters per hour. The cruising speed is around 9 km/h, with a maximum speed of approximately 11 km/h. The engine is from the same year as the ship (1976) and is driven by an inboard system. The propulsion is supported by a dynamo for the onboard electrical systems. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit. The boat has a single rudder. The hull shape and sail plan allow for comfortable sailing even in stronger winds. The self-draining cockpit enhances safety while sailing. Sail equipment and rigging The Fisher Freeward 25 is rigged as a sloop with an aluminum mast and the following sails: a mainsail, a jib, and a genoa. Additionally, there is a spinnaker for use in broad reaches. The headsail features a furling system, with the roller furling jib being recent. The condition of the sails is described as fair. The rigging is suitable for both novice and experienced sailors seeking a traditional sailing experience. Electronics and power supply The onboard electronic equipment is outdated. There are two batteries with a total capacity of 50 Ah. The onboard voltage is 12V. Navigation equipment includes a VHF radio and a tachometer. The anchor is secured with a combination of chain and line. Equipment and safety On deck, the boat is equipped with a cockpit cover, pulpit and pushpit, lifelines, and a swim ladder. The cockpit is self-draining, enhancing safety in rougher weather. All valves and pipes need to be reviewed, which is a point of attention for the next owner. Use and sailing area The boat has mainly been used on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers in the Netherlands, particularly in Friesland. The shallow draft of 1.10 meters makes the vessel suitable for shallower waters like the Frisian lakes and the Wadden Sea area. The air draft of 11 meters allows passage under most bridges on the bordering lakes. History and special features The Fisher Freeward 25 has been in the current owner's possession for over 30 years. The boat has always been moored at the owner's residence in Friesland and has been used for both short trips and longer vacations. The owner describes the ship as a practical and reliable companion for leisure boating. The current condition of the vessel provides room for a new owner to refurbish and personalize it according to their preferences. Conclusion The Fisher Freeward 25 is a classic-looking motorsailer with a sturdy hull and a functional sail plan. Despite the current state of the interior and the need for technical revision, the ship offers a foundation for enthusiasts of traditional sailboats looking for a project with potential. The combination of engine power, sailing characteristics, and sailing area makes this vessel suitable for various forms of recreational use.
