A Mylor-based boatbuilder could win a coveted industry award after being nominated for the Classic Boat Awards 2022

Cockwell's is urging boating enthusiasts take part in a public vote between now and 9am on Monday 28 March 2022.

Following its acquisition of the Hardy Marine brand in 2020, the first Hardy to be completed by the Mylor-based boatbuilder and launched in Cornish waters – the Hardy 42 – has been shortlisted in the New Powered Vessel category of the 2022 Classic Boat Awards.

The Classic Boat Awards celebrate the best newly-built boats and restorations in the world of classic and traditional boatbuilding.

Founder & Managing Director, Dave Cockwell, said: "Having inherited a Hardy 42 that was already in build when we acquired Hardy’s assets, it was our task to complete the craft for owners who planned to explore the inland waterways of Europe under electric power but wished to retain the renowned seakeeping capabilities of the original design for offshore passages.

"This not only provided us with the opportunity to build our first hybrid diesel/electric motor yacht – the Hardy 42 Hybrid that was launched at the Southampton International Boat Show in 2021.

"It also enabled us to demonstrate the complex technical capabilities that we have gained through custom-building Duchy Motor Launches and state-of-the-art superyacht tenders.

"We are delighted that the Hardy 42 has been shortlisted in this prestigious industry awards scheme and hope that the public will show their support by voting for us."
