Piper Barge 49M – Aft Wheelhouse type
14.95m / 49ft long
Piper’s design inspiration is derived from many places but the creative spark that led to the development of the 49M Motor Class dutch barge came from close to home – it’s rooted in Simon Piper’s own extensive experience of navigating the waterways of France and the UK.
The 49M Motor Class is Piper’s most popular dutch style barge and a favourite with experienced boaters; for week-end enthusiasts and for those people who want enough power to ease across the Channel and explore Europe’s canals and rivers.
