Thanks for all the replies
Renamed 2/3rds of boat today, as cannot get to the port front side until next weekend, so rear and starboard say one name and port says old name.

Gave the shower a try today, not very roomy for slightly rotund gents like myself!

Hi Richard.

A nice looking boat the H27 - one of the prettiest Hardy's built in my opinion - I remember being on Boat No 1 at the boatshow Launch - she had an all blue hull and the rare two cabin layout with starboard side helm(called a 274) (only and very very small number of two cabin boats were built - all in 1992/3 I think. All others are single cabin 272's.
I'd love a twin-engined 274 example - but alas such a beast was never built.

She'll be far different from the Sprint - but a great boat (The Sprint is a gem too). We started with Hardy's years ago, moved to Fairlines (Sunfury and then Targa 33), then sail, then all sorts, 44's Motoryacht etc, now living near the boat so back with Hardy (Twin Engined 25).

Enjoy her.

Best Regards

I have just posted my first question and realised I have not introduced myself.
We bought the Hardy 27 2 weeks ago on a whim really, no planning involved at all or research or in fact anything remotely sensible, liked the look of it, knew the guy who was selling it so bought it!

This is only our 2nd boat, first was a Fairline Sprint petrol which we had for over 6 years, good reliable/fast machine, liked its fuel though.

We are renaming it Joon, previous name was Shemi and first owner called it Alvina.
Alvina must have been its first name for many years as its clearly visible still, whereas the name Shemi came off and is pretty much invisible.
