The Fisher 31 is a robustly built and designed motor sailor, that is well equipped to tackle any sea state thrown at her! Mister Cat has been professionally boatyard maintained and is the most immaculate and beautifully cared for example to have come on to our books over the years. Five berths, central heating, bow thruster and full furling rig with 2024 standing and running rigging amounts to a very compelling package. Early viewing is highly recommended.
