Cockwells continue to push the Hardy name with the debut of the 45 European, at the South Coast boat show in September in May. The 45 European is a rare sight nowadays presenting itself as a classic pure British inspired aft cabin cruiser, with an offshore seakeeping hull which is also capable of cruising inland waterways effortlessly, thanks to a robust design of the Hardy range with all the contemporary characteristics and technological innovations of a 21st century craft. The Hardy 45 European comes with an expansive aft deck helm, luxurious saloon and galley, full beam owner’s stateroom aft, complete with a king size bed and full-standing headroom, and comfortable double forward guest cabin, ergonomically designed to provide plenty of room for all aboard. The 45 European uses the same semi-displacement hull of the iconic Hardy 42, designed by renowned naval architect, Andrew Wolstenholme, built to deliver exceptional performance and luxury living, whether on ocean passages or in gentler waters. On the one hand, the Hardy 45 European is an ideal inland cruiser, featuring a low-profile design and a folding radar arch to pass under bridges with ease, along with optional bow and stern thruster to provide ultimate manoeuvrability in tight spaces. Powered by twin Yanmar 440hp shaft drive engines as standard, the Hardy 45 European reaches speeds of up to 28 knots. However, this vessel is equally capable of travelling at displacement speed, offering excellent fuel efficiency for long-range cruising.
