The company will also showcase the Hardy 45 European, an ergonomic design built for inland waterways and offshore cruising at speeds of up to 28 knots. This follows the success of the Hardy 50DS, which has been shortlisted for Motor Boat & Yachting magazine’s 2025 Motor Boat Awards in the Best Passagemakers of the Year category.
