We will be part of the largest flotilla in modern times on the river with rowing boats, working boats and pleasure vessels of all shapes and sizes beautifully dressed with streamers and Union jacks stretching for an estimated twelve and a half miles.
We will take our place with other vessels in the flotilla alongside Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal Family aboard the Royal Barge,’ The Spirit of Chartwell’. It will be a once in a lifetime moment for us all to take part in this historic event.

Hardy Cruising Club 2011 Channel Cruise
At last years Southampton Boat Show dinner with our owners, we discussed options for this years cruise. After some deliberating and whether our boats could fit under the bridges, we decided that we will spend two weeks travelling up the Seine and to make Paris out ultimate goal.
Would we be able to rise to the challenge?
Careful planning was required at the office with regards to the air draft and tide which Sally and Malcolm liaised on. We got all our fender boards ready and all the necessary paperwork for the French including a CEVNI test certificate that we all obtained.
This year we had 7 boats and stopped at several ports along the way and then reached Paris

February 2011
After being informed of a re vamp of the London Boat Show Hardy decided to exhibit this year Attendance was high and the new board walk area worked well as you did not have to step up onto the boat as it was all one level, to make much easier access for Visitors.
We will of course be exhibiting at the Southampton Show in September and will put our berth numbers on the website when we know them. Our Demonstration boat Hardy Commodore 42 ‘Himalia’ now named ‘Keen Interest’ is now settled in her new port of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight and the new owners are thrilled to have her. They are ‘keen’! to use her and look forward to the seasons boating ahead. We had an excellent used boat report on our Commodore 42 in February’s issue of MBY. This really gives you an insight into owning a Hardy through our owner’s eyes. We are grateful to all our owners and thank them for the valuable input they put into the article.
