Hardy 45 European

Equally at home cruising the inland waterways of Europe or at speeds of up to 28 knots offshore.
 
Designer: Cockwells in collaboration with Andrew Wolstenholme

This model incorporates a sliding companionway door to the aft deck helm and cockpit seating area, a folding radar arch for safe passage beneath low bridges, a raised dining area in the saloon with panoramic views or opt for an internal helm position.

 

Based on the classic Hardy 42 hull renowned for its seakeeping ability, our all-new Hardy 45 European delivers outstanding performance across the spectrum of marine environments and is ergonomically designed to provide plenty of personal space for all aboard.

 

New side window profiles soften the exterior. A flush-closing side deck door to starboard provides easy access to the optional internal helm and spacious saloon, which exudes contemporary style. The layout of the aft deck maximises space and comfort for outside living whilst providing the helmsman and navigator a protected 360’ view in all weathers with fixed spray screens and folding canopy to the radar arch.

 

You could also opt for a well-equipped galley in the saloon and a larger VIP guest cabin forward with separate heads and shower cubicle. How would you customise your Hardy 45?
