near Preston Marina. Viewing strictly by prior appointment.
A real one-off of the highest quality
- Must be seen to be appreciated.
Built by
Freeward Marine 1974 and fitted out privately to the very highest
standard, launched in 1976 and now she is offered for sale by the
original owners. Based upon the popular Fisher 37 hull, this is a
bespoke mid-wheelhouse, sloop rigged motor sailer best described as a
true “man’s yacht”.
“Qualie”
is a no-nonsense passage maker with real quality (hence the name) and
rugged practicality as the defining features of this unique yacht. She
has 5 berths all of which are singles so if you are looking for
features like double “staterooms” with en-suite hot showers, microwave
ovens in the galley and all the comforts of home – then “Qualie” is not
for you... but if you are looking for a heavy duty, go anywhere cruiser
with the emphasis on substance before style – and something a bit

A 2008 insurance report by a marine surveyor is available - the summary
of this report reads as follows "The standard and quality of the
structure are exceptional for a boat of this type. The heavy-duty
construction will have increased the displacement and it is expected
that Qualie will have very good sea-keeping qualities. The exceptionally
high mast should counter this heavier than normal construction resulting
in good off wind performance"
