Hi Mike, We keep her on the Norfolk Broads. I'm afraid the engine is not big enough for the sea. It has a very nice Mariner 15 four stroke electric start on, which is more than enough for the broads but no where near good enough for sea work. We have come full circle really, as we have had large motor boats with big inboards and then yachts and large motor sailors back to smaller yachts and now the Hardy. Eleven boats in total since 1984 and that doesn't include the two I part built and never got to sail !!!!! Have a Great Christmas and Happy New Year, BR, Peter

Hi Peter, from one Navi owner to another good luck. Where do you keep her on the water? I'm on the Hamble, along with another Hardy owner Roger. Have a great Christmas and all the best for 2016; may you have many good voyages. Cheers, Mike

Here's another photo after jacking up and blocking. Saves the weight on the suspension units and on the tyres over winter. Makes for a more stable working platform and safer working. Hope to start working on her after the Christmas break. lots to do and hope to have her back in the water in the spring time !!!!

Well I finally managed to get our Hardy Navigator up the slipway and onto the repaired trailer. Trailed nicely and the only problem was picking up a puncture in the boat yard. A nail through the rear tyre of the Discovery. Changed it with the spare on the slipway in the yard and came home. A picture just after arrival. Peter
