September 1998 saw the International debut of this shaft-driven cruiser which has combined the very best Hardy features with a modern planing underbody.
A wide variety of Yanmar diesel engine options with mechanical or hydraulic gearbox is available to suit every need. The wheelhouse, which can be enclosed or opened fully using four framed teak doors, allows full standing headroom. The cabin accommodates 3 and contains a galley, locker space and toilet/shower compartment.
Traditional wide side decks are apparent with easy access and there is an abundance of stowage.
