Chris, That will probably be the River Pilot you are referring to.Air draft approx 6ft 4 if you drop the nav light mast- otherwise approx. 10ft-ish. Take a look in the gallery.

We have got a Hardy Pilot 20 moored on Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation in Essex, it's fine. I just need to remember to fold the VHF aerial down ! Andy

I have long been an admirer of the Hardy. I particularly like the enclosed wheelhouse.Can you tell me the air draft of Hardys up to 20ft, ie. could they navigate the canal system. I know the hardy was designed as a sea going boat, but I would like to use it's attributes for a less vigorous boating experience. regards, Chris.
