Vin Rouge is a fine example of a Piper Widebeam offering an elegant approach to boating up and down the waterways whilst being comfortable living aboard. The bow seating area and stern seating area are ideal for spending time relaxing when moored up in the mornings and evenings. The wheelhouse adds to the experience of owning your boat with side seating on the starboard side and entrance access through the port door and stern doors. The interior is spacious with an open plan walk through with the U Shaped galley with appliances updated over the recent years leading into the saloon area where you can enjoy dining and relaxing on the sofa. The saloon has a larger Stovax multistove which will expand more heat across your vessel keeping you warm throughout the night. The double berth in the master cabin towards the bow of the vessel is inviting when waking up with light beaming in and having a second berth allows for guests to stay aboard over longer periods of time. The 75 HP Beta Marine engine is quiet when piloting assisted with the hydraulic bow thruster to use when berthing - by being a hydraulic system, the more revs you use, the more powerful the bow thruster is which will be useful when travelling in stronger winds.
