Welcome to the Fisher Owners Association Website.

2025 starting with a bang for the Fisher Owners Association.   The Fisher 55th Anniversary approaches and we have a large number of Fishers booked to join us, including a fleet from the Dutch Fisher Club,  who are actively planning their voyages to Cowes.   We are really looking forward to seeing our Dutch friends again.

Wight Mistress has been in use all through the winter but April and May was spent servicing all the bits that needed it.    We have managed to get away for a few days at a time, however our diary seems to just fill up when we are not looking.    Back from one holiday,  off to the funeral of our beloved retired Rear Commodore Southwest and West, Bryan Sautelle-Smith in Cornwall.

Your Vice Commodore, Geoff Brown is doing a superb job preparing the F55 festival and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.  If you haven't contacted Geoff and paid your deposit, please do so quickly.

Last year Barbara and I went (by car) to Holland in September to attend the Fisherclub Nederlands southern rally at Hellevoetsluis. We did consider taking Wight Mistress but we had an important baby-sitting duty for our youngest granddaughter immediately after the rally, and even Wight Mistress wasn't fast enough to get home in the short time needed.

Finally, I want to say a huge thank you to your Committee for all their hard work behind the scenes and I look forward to the continuation of an exciting and busy 2025

Happy Fishering
