Introducing the Hardy 45 Europa: A Versatile Boat for Inland and Offshore Cruising

The Hardy 45 Europa, a new addition to the marine industry, is making waves with its versatile design and impressive features. This boat, designed by Cockwells, is based on the proven Hardy 42 offshore hull and has been crafted to cater to both inland and offshore cruising.

Powered by 2 x Yanmar 6LY 440 diesel engines, the Hardy 45 Europa boasts a top speed of 26.5 knots. Measuring 46ft 7in (14.2m) in length overall and 14ft 5in (4.40m) in beam, this boat offers a robust and spacious cruising experience.

The aft cabin of the Hardy 45 Europa features blunt and lofty mouldings, providing ample space. The owner's aft cabin is lined with oak cabinetry on all sides, and the forward-facing bed against the aft bulkhead adds a touch of luxury. Handmade cabinetry on both sides of the bed and an equally attractive starboard dressing table complete the opulent feel of the owner's cabin.

The ensuite heads in the owner's aft cabin are curved and oak-lined, with a larger footprint than the day heads. The day heads, meanwhile, feature a cylindrical shower stall.

The galley of the Hardy 45 Europa is sunken in a transverse recess between the saloon and the bow cabin, providing a functional and practical space for cooking and dining. The saloon itself is large, with a raised dinette, a low-level lounge, and a door for access to the big safe walkaround side decks.

The Hardy 45 Europa is built to spec, allowing for custom refinement to meet the specific needs of each owner. The boat's modest air draft and aft-cabin cruiser deck layout contribute to its versatility, making it suitable for both inland waterway use and sea passages.

Contact details for the Hardy 45 Europa can be found at www.cockwells.co.uk. The price of the boat ranges from £1.5M ex VAT. With its impressive performance, luxurious amenities, and versatile design, the Hardy 45 Europa is a must-see for any serious cruiser.
