Hardy River Pilot 20 à vendre (1985) dans Rhu, Argyll and Bute, Royaume-Uni

"Victoria" is a Hardy River Pilot 20. These are basically the same as the Hardy Pilot 20 but with the galley and steering inside rather than outside. The patio style doors open out to the aft cockpit so this layout gives better shelter and internal space

These are sturdy little boats, they are just as at home coastal cruising as pottering along inland waterways.

Ideal for a couple or family days out.
