(The Schaafsma 25 meter Motor Sailor) the “Sailfisher 25”
A Mother Vessel with 8 smaller fishing vessels transported inside it.

1. The “Sailfisher 25” carries 8 “Super 5 Wonder” diesel and sail driven fishing boats in its
on-board storage, they are lifted and winched through a large door-hatch and a slip that is
lowered from the back of the “Sailfisher 25”even when the mother vessel cruises. They also act
as excellent life boats and “tug boats” in harbour docking etc.

2. The Sailfisher can work, process, freeze and store 20 tons of fish, accommodate 24 persons and
it is totally self-sufficient for up to one month.

3. The “Sailfisher 25” has an option of 2 or 3 engines and it can replenish, repair and service all 8
“Super 5” fishing boats that operate from it.

4. The whole concept is to fish in areas far from harbours as a factory and supply ship to the 8
smaller diesel and sail driven vessels. In bad weather, all 8 of the smaller vessels can be winched
up its stern and slipped into storage for protection for the next day ect.

5. Sailfisher is a sail and diesel powered so it is very economical and it can fish along uninhabited
coast lines in safety, for long-line tuna ect or even used as a prawn trawler when all 3 engines
and the sails are used in combination for massive economical horse power when needed.

6. When not needed for fishing it can be used as a long distance ferry to transport general cargo
or up to 6 – 8 motor vehicles, also as a freezer, cold storage pick up and delivery vessel.
