PS: Pipistrelle by Wauquiez is not a simple Pilot House (PH), but a superb Pilot Saloon (PS)!
The Authors
Our Mission Statement
In our Wauquiez 48 Pilot Saloon we are cruising oceans, experiencing the rich diversity of peoples, cultures and nature while sharing these unique encounters with like-minded sailors.
In the words of George Orwell: ‘Beauty is meaningless until it is shared’.
Enjoy the journey!Pages

A Pipistrelle (Our Yacht Motif)
Why the name Pipistrelle? The previous owners called the yacht 'Batrachian' and fondly referred to her as 'The Bat'. A Pipistrelle is the smallest bat in the United Kingdom. Thus we have maintained a link between old and new.
