Description
⚓ READY FOR THE SEASON – HARDY MOTOR SAILER 20 (1981) ⚓
Prepared, stored on a road trailer (Dumbarton, Scotland) and ready to enjoy immediately
Our 1981 Hardy Motor Sailer 20 has been carefully maintained and freshly prepared for the season including:
• Below waterline sanded, primed & ready for antifouling (included)
• New anode fitted
• Engine serviced
• Sitting on road trailer and ready to go
🛥️ What She Looks Like Today:
She presents very well for a 45-year-old boat and is clearly a much-loved example. Clean lines, tidy decks, and a cockpit that’s ready for use and not a tired project.
• Sturdy double-axle trailer included – solid and roadworthy (recently tested)
• Cockpit cushions replaced in 2020 – comfortable and in good order
• Canopy replaced in 2020 – smart & functional
• New ‘iconic fender rope’ replaced in 2020 (over £500)
Other key features include:
• Electric anchor windlass
• Plough anchor with 8mm chain
• Fore cabin and cockpit turns into 2 separate double berths
• 2 x main sails (one tan & one white) & 1 x foresail
• Galley with ethanol stove (easy use & safe) and plenty of storage
• Matching black fender and mooring warps
• Cockpit table
• Cockpit storage
• 2 x batteries (1 x starter & 1 x leisure battery)
• Clean and spacious cockpit and forecabin for a 20ft boat
⚙️ Power & Reliability:
Powered by the Volvo Penta 2002 (18hp), widely regarded as a simple, robust, and very reliable engine. Easy to maintain, very economical to run, with a comfortable cruising speed of 6 knots and ideal for stress-free cruising.
⭐ Why This Hardy Stands Out:
• Proven Hardy hull – stable, tough, and confidence-inspiring
• Motor sailer versatility – cruise under power or enjoy quiet sailing
• Shallow draft – perfect for rivers, estuaries, and drying harbours
• Compact and manageable – ideal for solo or short-handed boating
• Well looked after and in great condition for her age
This is a proper British-built boat, from a time when things were made to last — and it shows.
📍 Location: Dumbarton
💷 Price: £8500 ono
📞 Viewings welcome – sensible offers considered. NO TIME WASTERS or ridiculous offers…we simply won’t reply.
A genuine opportunity to own a ready-to-go Hardy with classic character, solid preparation, and nothing urgent needing attention.
