Identifying a Piper narrowboat


Hi

I wonder if you anyone in the club can help me. I am in the process of purchasing a narrowboat that is advertised as being built by David Piper in 2006. The name of the vessel is Horus. She is a 46 feet 2 inch, 6 feet 10 inch wide, traditional design. She has had a CRT number under the name Horus for about 13 years.

I am trying to identify whether she really is at David Piper boat?

Many thanks and kind regards,

Eric Tatham

Re: Identifying a Piper narrowboat

Hi Eric
It won’t be a David Piper boat as David retired in 2001. His son Simon took over the business then, so it’s more than likely at Piper Boats build.
Some info on a rather outdated website here www.piperowners.co.uk/index.htm
There are many piper narrowboat photos on the website, but unfortunately not Horus
