1980 Hardin 45 Center Cockpit "Lady Bella"

LADY BELLA WALKTHROUGH

COCKPIT WITH HARDTOP ENCLOSURE

Lady Bella’s spacious cockpit was recently transformed with an incredibly designed and well-built hardtop enclosure, featuring three hatches to enjoy the sea breeze, large tinted double pane safety glass windows, and a fixed glass port above the helm station for viewing the sails. To be fully enclosed, her Phifertex Full Sun Screens AND Stamoid/Vinyl enclosure can easily do the job! The ceiling of the enclosure is a stunning sea glass blue, as if reflecting the Bahamian waters, where “Lady Bella” spent much of her time in the recent past. Don’t miss the immersive tour past the photo section of this listing!

INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS

Stepping down the companionway of Lady Bella, her incredible interior welcomes you with stunning varnished teak carpentry throughout, from the solid teak cabin soles to dreamy carvings of sailing ships and palm trees accenting the doors. It’s worth noting that in every cabin Hardin perfected what most designers can’t grasp even today-that is luxuriously spacious living quarters AND an unbelievable amount of storage!

MAIN SALON

Lady Bella’s accommodating Salon is spacious and warm. To starboard is the L shaped dinette seating area which comfortably seats up to 8 people. The table is solid teak with drop down leaves. Storage is under and behind the dinette cushions and there is beautiful cabinetry behind the seating area as well.

GALLEY

To port of the Companionway, the Galley is well thought out and efficient, with plenty of counter space, storage, and a convenient pull-out drawer by the sink that allows for a U shape space for stability while prepping meals in rough seas. 

AFT HALLWAY

Moving aft from the galley on the port side there is a hallway with two large fridge and freezer boxes built into a long counter, as well as the nav station and 3 doors to access the engine and generator.

MASTER STATEROOM

The hallway leads you aft to the Master Stateroom, featuring an athwartship queen size bed, incredible storage (hanging lockers, shelves, drawers, space under the berth), and beautifully crafted aft windows above the bed. A well-lit vanity is a nice addition. Two large overhead hatches allow a wonderful flow of breeze into the cabin. 

AFT FULL HEAD

This full head to starboard can be accessed both from the Salon and the Master Stateroom. There are two ports for ventilation as well as two doors for starboard engine access. This head has a separate shower, marble counters, and varnished teak throughout.

MID-SALON

Moving forward from the main Salon is the lower-level Mid-Salon with sleeping arrangements. To port there are two spacious settee berths, and both pull out to make a double berth. There is ample storage under both berths with beautiful cabinetry. To starboard there is more beautiful cabinetry and a counter that can be used for a workspace and more.

FORWARD HEAD

The starboard cabinetry in the Mid Salon flows into a Half Head with a sliding door. There is a Lavac Head, sink with a foot pedal, 2 ports for ventilation, and lots of cabinetry and storage space.

V-BERTH

Forward towards the bow there is a spacious V-Berth with a beautifully carved door for privacy. There are lockers and shelves on both sides and a hatch large enough to pass sails through. V-berth cushions are covered in burgundy sunbrella, and underneath them is even more storage. The anchor locker is just forward of the V-Berths with great access via double doors towards the bow.
