HARDY COMMODORE 42
The very epitome of seaworthiness

The Commodore 42 sees Hardy, once again, with internationally renowned naval architect Andrew Wolstenholme, building a classic trawler yacht.

Hardy have not been rushed into producing just a larger version of their Commodore 36. The all new 42 is the epitome of progression. It is impossible to over emphasise the part which Hardy owners have played in contributing towards designing and building a product that feels right, works superbly well and takes Hardy into a new exciting era of production.
