This really is becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels. I actually never have an intention of owning a boat, but the sheer joy of these tours makes me happy.
That's great to hear! 😃
‘Becoming’? Where have you been. This is the best. 😂
Same!
Great to see Hardy updating their interiors to a more modern feel but still keeping all the traditional robust strengths. Thanks for the tour Nick !
My pleasure!
I don't know much about yachts, but I watch your channel from time to time. I like that this model puts function before form while still looking high quality and put together.
I just recently found your channel and start every morning off looking to see if you've uploaded a new vid. Absolutely love your tours!
Awesome, welcome aboard! 😃
@@AQUAHOLIC Thank you!
Every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 12pm UK time 👍
Nick uploads about every other day.
Go and watch all of his tours!
This might be your first haunted boat tour, seeing that cabinet in the master suite open by itself at around minute 9:04 was kinda creepy 😂😂. Keep up the great work Nick, these smaller blue water boats are my favorite!
Take a shot every time Nick expresses how this is a "serious little ship" you'll be drunk within 60 seconds. lol. I like this boat. The idea of loading up, filling up and then away you go. Slow steady speed and explore the world. Great video as always from Aquaholic.
I'm scratching my head why the engineer didn't utilize at least a portion of the lazarette for the engine room! Great tour Nick as always!
Congratulations at the 500K Nick and thanks for being so informative and good at presenting
I absolutely love this boat. Thank you for such a fantastic tour as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Delighted to see Cockwells influence following the take over. Hardys sea keeping reputation is legendry and now top level interior design. It bodes well for yards future with this impressive boat.
Hi Nick. Congratulations on reaching Half a Million subscribers. 500k well deserved 😊
Hi Nick. Confession : I have a massive Soft Spot for the Hardy Boats. My Father owned a much smaller Hardy, and we had years of great times going out on it. Several times, the weather turned absolutely filthy and rough on us, so muggins me was put on the wheel, while dad concentrated on worrying for both of us and anyone else on board. Needless to say his Hardy just took everything in its stride, and there was no problem getting back into sheltered water and the mooring, before we disappeared into the Pub for a meal and some beer. Great boats, and thanks for the look around. Only things lacking for me, are a Mast and Sails (I’m a dyed in the wool Bermuda Sloop guy ) and propane gas cooking with an induction hob backup. Propane gas cooking frankly takes a heck of a lot of beating to be honest. Best Wishes, and thanks again. Bob. PS the next Sailboat is finally on the horizon. 👍🌟🌟🌟⛵️🏴🇬🇧❤️
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Propane is also a hazard on a boat, which is, why many tends to avoid it today. Fires started in the galley is actually the most common full write off cause of live aboard boats. I also prefer sails, but I would consider Alubat Ovni, Allures and Garcia, when talking monohuls, and Neel, when talking multihuls. Garcia has also made a crazy nice catamaran in aluminium, but it is also crazy expensive.
@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv I’ve lived with superb Gas cooking benefits for over fifty years, and tbh, the only things I have burned, have been cheese on toast tragedies. To me, it’s the quality of the cooking with Propane that simply can’t be matched and is only exceeded by charcoal fuelled BBQ’s - which comes close to being matched by Propane BBQ with a Smoker Box. Solid Fuel Rayburn and Aga Cookers are fairly decent for cooking with, but you don’t have the moist heat or instant heat control that you have with Pripane. Side note - Town Gas was really good too tbh. Service and maintain cookers, hoses and Gas Bottles properly, and Propane really isn’t a problem tbh. If you aren’t competent enough to pay attention to shat you are doing ? Rely on a Fire Blanket and Extinguisher in reach perhaps ? You will always get an idiot who goes looking for a Gas Leak with a Lit Candle I suppose ? Darwin moments are supposed to have an overall benefit for our Species intelligence after all. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍
Hardy's classic British design, good family cruisers,, excellent for for discovering the Falmouth coast. Nice tour Nick. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Nick, That is a good looking yacht from Hardy the Hardy 50 a hole new design from them.For long range cruising along the coast, the salon dining with open galley looks great and yes the forward sloop windows very nice at the bridge 3 cabins below with 2 bathrooms but the fly bridge is stunning Thanks again Nick a great show⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Dave always seems such a great chap, and very supportive of you, Jack and of course Harry's Goodwin adventures. This is the perfect boat for anyone who's looked at a 46' Botnia and wanted a bit more of everything. That includes me.
Proper little ship stuff, check😀 It's very lovely build; sensible with a tad of luxury 😀 Great tour, thanks😃
My pleasure!
Having bigged that up for all its sea keeping characteristics, thats a nice interior. You dont lose anything really and you gain that ability to stay out regardless. Very nice.
A real British Bull Dog of a boat to tame the North Sea. Different & interesting Nick, Thanks.🙏🇨🇦👍
I really loved this boat. Very practical, solid and stable, no extra frills. This will still be a classic 30 years from now. Surprisingly small engine compartment. Seemed an awkward entry as well. I guess when you're dealing with 50 feet, sacrifices must be made. Lol. But still a great tour, Nick.
I know it’s a boat for me when Nick says “proper” that many times! Indeed, proper boating here. Thanks for the tour!
My pleasure!
Congrats on 500k! I’ve been watching for years and it’s great to see how the channel has evolved and inspired so many people to get out on the water. My favorite tours are the sailing yachts, if you have a chance please film some more!
This is now my favorite boat. Thanks for the tour. Very well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really like the Hardy boats and the work of Cockwells, having a boat that can go anywhere in (broadly) anything is worth the compromise on internal volume. Thanks Nick for another great tour and look forward to the next one 😀
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Wonderful explanation of this one. Appeared pricy until your tour. Great stuff. Thanks
That's a serious piece of kit. I like how well thought out everything is and it feels like it is unbreakable. Very nice, Nick. Thanks.
I don't use the word perfect very often but it applies to this boat for me. I could live on this very easily and disappear for months without issue. I'd probably convert the smaller cabin into a dry storage but wow. This checks literally every box I have! Great tour Nick. I'd love to see the 2 cabin version just out of curiosity though. Thanks friend.
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
That’s a great “little ship”, nice fixtures and fittings with a nice layout. Love the helm position and looks nice from the dock with nice lines for the type of boat. Great tour as always Nick thank you.
My pleasure!
If you like this check out Nordhavns. The Nordhavn 59 CP for example is also a semi-displacement hull. Theyre also serious cruising boats, even more serious than Hardy's imo especially the full-displacement 'havns.
@@rykehuss3435 I agree I love Nordhavns
A boater's boat, but I found it very stylish. I had hoped the engines were a little more accessible for a baby-explorers yacht, but overall, very complete. For those of us not looking for a gin palace, this is an excellent choice! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent, love Cat A boats. Really well put together. Those engines look a bit of a nightmare to work on - need a real skinny young engineer contortionist 🤣One thing that always puts me off is the nice big transom but then a big gap to let in seawater in roughish seas. Just me I know it isn't an issue. Thanks Nick a good tour as always, like the watch 😁
It isn't an issue. Thank you! :)
Hi, a great little ship to spend the summer in , from the Solent to the Scilly Isles and all the places in between . Yes please, and another interesting video .
That is a great little boat. I'd love to have that on the Chesapeake.
Out of all the small plastic boats this is the one I’d have. Love it . Thanks Nick
No problem 👍
Nick , another great video tour. I missed you waving us at the mirror. 😂😂😂
I saw Maggie, well seated.
Thank you for educating and entertaining us. ❤
My pleasure!
Thats a really nice boat. Hardy's were always a thinking mans boat back through the years with spartan functional interiors. One thing missing though, the big signature rope fender all the way round the hull.
That's true! I bet they'd fit you one though.
I like that boat. I absolutely love it!
Now, see, thats what i mean. This is not a floating terrace or caravan, this is a ship!
Strong and beautiful, in my mind the best and made my hart skip a beat. Fantastic, and, great tour, thank you again.
My pleasure!
What a nice ship! I'm really a fan of this type of boats. As you say yourself: "Serious ships with a certain high standard of comfort. Well done, Nick!
I love that, absolutely superb. Proper seaworthiness and got all the amenities you would ever need
Nick you are a machine. You give me a yacht to view everyday. Thank you for all your efforts. I like the proper functional yachts.
I just realized why I don't care for the transformer yachts! I'm a go and do things kinda person, not sit, lounge and hob knob. Well I will lounge but it's not my go to. Therefore my vessel has to be capable and ready to go when I want to go. Transformer yachts need to wait for weather windows. I was having a discussion with a friend about Bahamas crossings and how I've never crossed in less than a 2-4ft seaway because I don't wait for perfect weather. It's also the reason I "cruise" a sportfish convertible instead of a fancy condo boat. Haha
I like it, especially for that range!
Wanted to congratulate you on 500k Subscribers! You always bring us tours of such lovely boats, and it's wonderful to see your channel continuing to grow!
Thank you very much!
What a great yacht, arguably the perfect blend between modern/traditional... shame my student loan won't cover it! Big congrats on 500K, you definitely deserve it and looking forward to the summer boating videos!
I do have a massive soft spot for a Hardy and love this with a couple of question marks. Firstly I can't see a way of getting a bimini to work on the flybridge and secondly that engine room access is horrible, trying to fix anything under way would be so difficult. Apart from those things it's spot on.
Fab tour as usual Nick, thanks.
Great tour! Like the helm station very functional!👍👍thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍
Great boat; built for a purpose. Lovely! thanks Nick!
Proper proper boat, everything done right and nothing done for show. I hope to see this one in twenty years and I bet she looks great even after the life she deserves.
I love the in-cabin pilot's seating position!
Thanks Nick kind of a specialty that one
Nick, firstly another excellent video! Secondly, congratulations on reaching 500k subscribers!
Thank you very much!
This is my style boat. Can handle the hard stuff but still give you enough room to live comfortably. The haunted master bedroom with the cabinets that pop open by themselves is a little bit concerning LOL caught that when you were going into the master bedroom.
That's an optional extra! 😳
This has to be my favorite byfar.
Nice yacht!! Clean and updated fit and finish. Great tour Nick!! Keep them coming!!!!
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Love the cockwells attention to detail and quality. I wouldn’t mind if you did an update on the 40’s series
It has to be said, Hardy by name and certainly by nature, I will take one of these when I go on my trip around Britain's coast,.
Thanks for the tour of a robust little yacht, Nick. Looks like a good vessel for serious cruisers who wish to venture into rugged areas. The one thing that surprises me a little is the slightly awkward engine access. One would think an owner of a yacht like this would check the engines frequently and the clunky arrangement with a table on top of the hatch would not be fun to maneuver in any kind of a seaway.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Love it Nick, having been at sea in all states I know I'd be happy in this boat. Tuck away with a good book nordhavn style. Still cant get that Arksen out of my head, its the little ship thing.👍🏴
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Love the sea keeping focus and overall boat. Tight engine room especially with those engines and certainly wouldn’t ever want to have to replace them aside the cost.
Very nice. I wasn't aware of Hardy before and that is a fine boat.
excellent deserve A PLUS
500.000 Subscribers! Well done!
Almost..! 😃
I really love this one.
Wow! They've certainly pulled out all the stops on this bruiser, nick a definately robustly built boat for the descerning skipper that's meant to go places in safety. I wonder if that huge lazerette could if you wanted it to be, made into another cabin rather than, which for someone who doesn't intend all that stowage to be used for paddleboards and other toys that would never be used for this? Another brilliant tour nick of this catagory "A" Hardy/ Cockwells ocean going cruiser.
There is a Hardy 53 aft cabin boat if you want that. :)
What the hell are you doing to me Nick? a sleek ocean going trawler? That looks like a perfect compromise! Great job as always!
Thanks!
It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but Mr Burnham sir I have to say for what the boat has been designed for what a great job they've done,a big updated 50 compared to the last Hardy 50 you've toured on the channel, although the difference in prices show the changes for sure, Nick it would be interesting to see if Cockwells did a 96 then compared it with everyone's favourite builder Nordhavn,just a thought, anyway all the best from Cornwall 🤗✌️👍
Very nice. Thank you.
Most welcome!
Another great boat and video. 🇦🇺 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This is by far the best boat that I have come across. It’s a Hardy 42 on steroids!
Another lovely boat and great video nick ⛵️🛥🚤👏👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Happy Tuesday nick
You too TMH! 😃
Swiss Army knife on water. Looks a proper rugged boat. Would love to skipper this one.
I love this boat ❤, comparing to the Bearing 65.
Another awesome tour mate, what a beauty! 😎👍✨
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Very taken with this, but would definitely go for the two cabin . Great tour Nick.
This was very nice indeed. Many thanks for the tour! 🍷
My pleasure!
Nice to see a "Proper little ship" :) not totally covered in sun lounger pads
This is a boat I love, I would buy it in a heart beat.
Always liked a Hardy.
i think i'm in love.
Hmm flybridge , perfectly frank , takes me back :-) Frank and honest 🙂
Nice explorer boat , suppose the upper helm is good once you reach a place .
Nice in the Med , chilly up north :-)
She is a rugged off shore lady, she'll push her way through most sea conditions. Kichen is very practical ( like the pantry) but stylish. The helm is physically very well set out, everything to hand. Cockwell build the Hardy software for the helm with lots of options. Good visibility though the forward windows.
Cabins for guest ok not sure about their day head more a wet room. Id prefer separate shower. But not enough space..😮
External areas spacious, love the Fly bridge she an owner run type of boat. Love the little ships vibes I'm getting.
Brilliant tour of a brilliant boat.
Love the Hardy range and great to see Cockwells bringing it up to date.
One question for you Nick; why don’t Volvo do a port and starboard engine layout so things like oil filters etc are all inboard?
It would make servicing so much easier!
They do hand the dipsticks to the centre.
@@AQUAHOLIC every little helps I guess 😆
Nice it has a seakeeper as well! 👍👍
Great boat , I'd go for the two cabin version but not so keen in the engine space/access otherwise pretty much perfect. Thanks for the tour.
I'd have this over any marina queen. I can see that pushing through some pretty heavy seas. Great tour, as per usual Nick. You are the best, just don't tell David Seal I said that.
😄
Congrats on 500K subs.
Thank you!
Dear Santa, see Nick B. for details !! This is awesome !! Thank you Nick !!
You're welcome, good luck! 😄
This is one of favorites Nick!
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
For such a serious offshore cruiser I would've expected more handholds in the main saloon definitely.
I’d need a lot more personally, plus plenty of places to brace my hips against.i suppose a customer can specify what they personally need, Just like Island Packet do with their Comprehensive basic options construction list most of which are available at no extra cost. I am disabled and have some pretty serious changes needed to accommodate my needs. That’s why Island Packet turn out to be far cheaper for me to have a New Sailboat, rather than the massive customisation costs I need to add to most second hand Sailboats.Luckily there are a few that I can get modified with low cost extras well enough for me to be comfortable and safe, with easy boat handling. They do have to be a bit larger sailboats than I would really like though, which increases annual costs. Ho Hum. Best Wishes.Bob.👍🌟🌟🌟🏴🇬🇧⛵️
Now that’s a proper boaty boat…….. function first, although not short on looks. Lovely proportions and my own particular liking for a modest air draft……. or visual trickery to suggest it. Within the confines of the number of berths, it needs nothing more……. The lazarette was Tardis like…….. The D13’s appeal to the child in me, but I would probably spec smaller, purely on the grounds of space and weight, without sacrificing much speed
As for the Cockwells touch - taking a well loved and respected brand and turning it up to 11.
Yes I would, in a breath 🙂🇬🇧
A proper little ship. No truer words said.
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Very different design! Dunno about the bulwarks. I guess take a wave and out through the scuppers. Wish they could find a way to lessen the lazarette and increase the engine room. But that being said nice "Little Ship"!!! Thanks Nick
You know, Nick, I came to the conclusion years ago that if I actually had the money to purchase a yacht, I would never be able to make a decision. Too many great options out there! 😂( it must make you crazy sometimes with all that you get to experience and see? 🤷♂️) Keep the unique ones coming, brother! 👍
It’s important to note that these beautiful boats apparently come with complementary ketchup and HP Sauce which is amazing.
Thanks yet again for this video Nick. For me it's a horrible design to have the galley bench shoved hard up against the helm seats. Galley aft would be a vast improvement on this layout.
Fantastic boat
Awesome boat , great tour aswell, would like that it can have a bit more range , given its a cat A boat , but that's a small gripe
Nick, you have the perfect name for your channel 'Aquaholic'. Your content, reviews, humour really is addictive. If I don't watch them I get withdrawal symptoms 😉🍻
Thank you! 😃
So what you're saying Nick this Hardy 50 will take a SS Minnow storm and not leave me on a deserted island with everything I need to live ;) Another great boat for the PNW
Cockwells and Hardy, a match made in boating heaven.
Very nice. Though I like this 3 cabin layout, I like the idea of thesmaller cabin being more of a lounge, I think I'd prefer the larger owner's cabin design. More comfortable for just going away for a fair bit, plus really would work for a live aboard. Thanks for another beautiful and interesting boat.
My pleasure
