Hardy Marine 42 Commodore (powerboat) for sale

Remarks :
Luxury motor yacht with super-dependable, sea-worthy performance
DREAMER is an Andrew Wolstenholme designed semi-displacement motor yacht, originally built in 2002 and undergoing a major refit and refurbishment in late 2021 which represents a comprehensive renovation. Together with works carried out more recently, the enhancements include: -
Engine removal, overhaul and recondition
Extensive interior redesign including fabrics, carpets, lighting and blinds
Under-deck accent lighting
Upgrade to an induction hob, combi-microwave cooker and additional under-counter fridge
Corian counter tops and integrated sink
Electric toilet off master cabin
Twin tab controls at both helms
Comprehensive integrated suite of electronic systems from Simrad
Hi-fidelity Fusion stereo radio & pop-up television
Synthetic teak decking throughout
Pneumatic stabilised chairs for Skipper & Mate
DREAMER is a splendid example of the Hardy marque’s globally-renowned craftsmanship, quality and sea-keeping ability. The phenomenal upwind performance through lumpy water has to be experienced to be believed, and is hugely reassuring – with none of the uncomfortable slam and bump of a flat-section planing hull.This exceptional example really needs to be seen to fully appreciate how much has been done to give her both a modern feel and a new lease of life in readiness for her next chapter of ownership and safe, comfortable cruising.
Purchased by her current owner in February 2022, who is retiring from long sea voyages, DREAMER is currently lying afloat in Dartmouth and available for viewing by appointment via her broker.
