Bit of a rush job but gives an idea.

Brilliant job. And I think that looks great!

And no fender required.

Always liked Hardy boats and was very keen to look on the 40 DS at the show. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. Wasn't keen on the layout, thought the very light woodwork didn't look great and it is very expensive when you consider what a 42 (same hull) gives you.

All a matter of personal taste I guess

Ha! Indeed, they do say if you want to find strange folk either find whoever is at the bar ordering pints of Aldlestone cider, or anyone that owns a catamaran or trimaran... all nuts!

GTBH, I could only ever bring myself to buy a Hardy, Aquastar, Nelson, Lochin or any variation of the former ....maybe, just maybe a Broom... but doubtful.

All quality boats, just a bit rolley in a following sea for my liking.:ambivalence:


Farsco, nice touch up. I think this one looks better in grey though. :nonchalance:

Test completed in perfect conditions yesterday. Here are some initial thoughts: http://www.mby.com/news/536237/motor-boat-yachting-drives-the-hardy-40ds

For my two pennies, I reckon it looks great in grey.

Congratulations on a very professional review.
I like the concept, it's a bit like a mini version of the Delta 80' JFM was looking at a few weeks ago!
