Following the great success and wide acceptance of Hardy Marine's new Mariner, feedback from discerning prospective clients indicated the potential for a similar concept on a larger craft.

Hardy Marine have once again turned to international designer Andrew Wolstenholme and challenged him to produce an all new wide beam 32ft sedan, retaining all the classic Hardy Pilot characteristics. We believe that you will agree with us that Andrew Wolstenholme has met the challenge successfully.

The hull has soft riding forward sections combined with moderate deadrise high lift aft sections and full length keel. This keel combined with shallow tunnels ensure that the stern gear is protected from grounding.

The performance of the boat has proven to be outstanding, with the ability to cruise in excess of a 200 mile range at 22 knots. The full length keel ensures good directional stability at all speeds.

On a fine day, at the press of a button, a full width glass section in the wheelhouse roof opens, and together with the opening side windows, centre windscreen and aft door, creates a spacious airy atmosphere.

It goes without saying that on a cold damp windy day all windows and hatches can be closed and with hot air gushing from heating outlets, she remains both warm and comfortable. In fact, she can truly be described as a boat for all seasons.

Her wide beam and generous proportions have allowed Hardy Marine's craftsmen to create a boat with splendid accommodation.
