English
The Hardy Family Pilot 20 is Hardy by name and hardy by nature. A competent sea boat for coastal cruising and ample accommodation for weekends away.
A large cockpit with a galley can be covered when the weather is poor and a separate main cabin with a double and single berth and and a separate heads compartment.
"Pennyghael" is one of the nicest I have seen.
