Simon, Vinnie & Gem are currently taking Monchique up the Rhone to St-Jean-de-Losne before the flow gets too strong in preparation for Salon Fluvial and David Piper is taking the 49M that we took to the Salon Nautique in Paris last December down the Nivernais to meet up with them. If you are wondering who Gem is, she’s the newest member of the Piper Boats team – a 5 month old German Shepherd.
