The Catfisher 28 MS is a distinctive outlier in the world of multihulls, representing a rare fusion between the rugged, go-anywhere philosophy of British motorsailers and the inherent stability of a catamaran platform. Designed by Terry Compton and primarily built by Fairways Marine in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the vessel was intended to offer the "best of both worlds": the internal volume and upright sailing of a catamaran combined with the protected wheelhouse and heavy-weather capability associated with the iconic Fisher range of monohulls. Unlike modern performance catamarans that prioritize speed and weight reduction, the Catfisher 28 is a heavy-displacement cruiser characterized by its solid fiberglass construction, high freeboard, and a chunky, purposeful silhouette that prioritizes safety and comfort over racing prowess.
