New Model: Hardy 65

Hardy launch a new flagship, a semi-displacement explorer type yacht designed by Andrew Wolstenholme who brings little ship characteristics to the motor yacht market, making the 65 ideal for the cruising yachtsman.  Capable of up to 30 knots from a twin 1200hp installation, her standard MAN 800hp engines give 25 knots, with quiet, comfortable, effortless cruising in any weather conditions. Engine controls are located in the wheelhouse, flybridge and aft deck and 6,100 liters of fuel can be carried another indication that this motor yacht is built to go places.  The expansive flybridge deck, which is accessed from the aft deck and directly from the wheelhouse, offers various seating and dining areas, with plenty of space left over to stow a RIB. The aft deck is laid out to suit al fresco dining and leads through double doors to a light, bright saloon.  Various layouts are possible, including having the galley just aft of the wheelhouse, or at the lower accommodation level.  Sleeping accommodation typically comprises three double en-suite cabins, with the owner’s stateroom comfortably positioned amidships and flooded with light through four large hull windows.  Below the aft deck, and accessed via a door in the aft superstructure, the lazarette area can be fitted with crew accommodation and also serves as a utility/workshop area. A watertight door leads through to a proper engine room that has standing headroom and easy maintenance access to all equipment.  The Hardy 65 is built on a semi-custom basis allowing buyers to optimize both the interior layout and finishing of their yachts to precisely match their cruising requirements and tastes.

Project: Hardy 50DS

Following on from the successful launch of the Hardy 40DS at the London Boat Show 2014, this British builder is proud to announce the project of the Hardy 50DS. Using similar profiles lines as the 40DS, renowned Hardy Designer Andrew Wolstenholme has again created a tremendously striking explorer yacht. With the hull based upon the 50, Hardy have once again been uncompromising when it comes to sea keeping, retaining its core values of building seaworthy boats that are meant to keep safe, secure and confident when the weather gets heavy. Unlike her smaller sister the 50DS will have twin engines as standard with 800hp MAN being the power of choices and pushing speeds of 27 to thirty knots. Different engine options will be available for those owners who wish to achieve a longer range at more modest speeds. As has been proven in the past the Hardy exterior styling will appeal to motor boats men as well as the sailing yachtsmen reverting to power. A flybridge option versions will be offered as an option. The interior styling has once again been created and styled by award winning stylist Chris Lock of CSL Yacht Design with whom Windboats have enjoyed a solid working relationship for many years.  This would be the third Hardy project for Chris having styled the interior of the 40DS and a new bespoke interior for a client’s new 42. For the 50DS Chris has designed a three cabin arrangement, comprising two twins and a double with twin heads. One of the heads will act as a day head and an en-suite for one of the twins. The saloon incorporates a single level seating and dining area capable of accommodating eight guests in comfort. On the port side of the saloon are ample lockers that will also house a drop down TV system if required.  Foldaway glass doors at the aft end of the saloon open up into a large cockpit area which once opened create a vast saloon for entertaining. At the forward end of the saloon is the galley and helm area. The galley is situated to starboard and additional seating on the port side. Alternatively this can be modified for additional work surfaces or lockers.  A pair of suspension seats are supplied at the helm and navigation area for comfort at sea. On the starboard side, forward of the galley, is a sliding access door to the side decks. Interior styling and the choice of timbers and colors may be modified to suite owners personal choices.

Project: Hardy 40DS

Hardy seems to make 2013 an important turn around for its company and apart launching recently its new flagship presents this interesting new 40DS project.  This new Hardy model sits in the high end of the current Hardy range which starts at 20 and continues to the just launched 62.  The 40DS is an interesting two cabin medium range explorer cruiser, with a nice small modern ship looking exterior and featuring a semi displacement hull design.  Its cabin layout will feature a two cabins interior layout with an owners room to fore, and two L-shaped guest berth amidships.  The galley as well as a large living saloon which converts to a dinette are all located on the main deck.  Standard power is a single 440hp Yanmar which should give estimating top speeds of 19 knots with a cruise of 14.  It will also be possible to power the 40DS with twin engine power although this will require a change in the hull profile.

Project: Hardy 62

Hardy presents the project of a new flagship model in its rugged looking but refined cruisers and yachts range the 62.  Build with a semi displacement and being quite a heavy boat at 43 tons dry weight the Hardy 62 shows its seamanship quality on specification alone.  But nonetheless the 62 is a very good looking Explorer yacht with some nice pilot house touches added to the super structure. The standard accommodation layout of the 62 offers a three double cabins layout; this offering a nice full beam midship owners stateroom below.  The living is all on the main deck minus the galley which on standard plan is located below in between the cabins.  Still Hardy make it important to point out that 62 is a semi custom project and interior layout may vary as clients request. Standard power is twin MAN 800hp engines but optional 1200 units are available.  Maximum estimated speeds are of 25 knots although Hardy does not advise with which engine this is reachable.
