Hardy Marine Fishing 24 boat
Header - Hardy history

Hardy Marine has now delivered well over 4,000 boats worldwide and the build quality
and owner support shows in the resale values when owners decide to change.

It all started in 1976 with John Hardy building small motor sailers designed by Colin Mudie in North Walsham.

In 1977 a new site, also in North Walsham, Norfolk was purchased and a purpose-built factory
was constructed and in 1982 extended to its current size and layout.

The early and mid 1980’s was a particularly busy time for the company and in the late 1980’s
Andrew Wolstenholme designed the Seawings range of sports cruisers to augment the smaller cruiser
and fishing boat designs.
