Biography

Harold Anthony (Tony) Fisher (born 23 March 1927 in Sydney) is an Australian ocean racing skipper, yachtsman and surgeon.

Early years

Tony Fisher was educated at Newington College, (1942) and the University of Sydney from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery in 1956.

Yacht racing

Fisher won line honours with a race record time, aboard Helsal, in the 1973 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Helsal was designed Bob Miller, later to be known as Ben Lexcen, and Joe Adams. It was named after Fisher's wife Helen and daughter Sally. Fisher has since owned four boats named Helsal with II, III and IV. Both Fisher's daughter, Sally Smith, and son, Rob Fisher, are ocean racing sailers.
