New Deputy editor
for the HOC magazine.
Dear Hardy Owners Club Member,
My name is Marie O'Connell and I am attempting to help Ted Childs, the
Editor of our magazine "Hardy Owner" to produce some short
articles for publication in the magazine.
Are there any Hardy owners out there willing to be briefly interviewed and
photographed with their boats? (I use the word 'interview' loosely,as it
would probably take the form of a couple of photographs and a quick chat
about you, your boat, any joys, or tribulations encountered, anything you
wish really.) The article would be presented in the magazine accompanying
the image of your boat. Any takers?? It would take very little of your
time, and I know lots of people out there love to talk about their boats!
It would help the Club to get people talking and help fill the magazine.
Please email me back ASAP, and I'll see what I can do. Thanks for your
time, Regards, Marie O'Connell

Hardy for the RNLI
Hardy Marine have recently
supplied another special Commodore 42 to the RNLI. It is named Ian
and Anne Butler and is to be seen from time to time in the Solent
area. Departing from the normal specification Commodore it has a blue hull
and grey superstructure. The accommodation and fly bridge have also been
specially adapted to RNLI requirements and it is used for training rather
than rescue. Another Hardy used for commercial purposes is a Commodore 36
used by Raytheon as a test bed for their navigation equipment. Again
specially modified this one may easily be identified in the Solent area by
the numerous radar scanners and aerials on the superstructure
