| Booking arrangements |
On a rota system. 2 weeks in peak and 1 week during off-peak times
are pre-bookable. A booking chart is issued by management company in
August and the owner at top of the list gets first choice, and so on
until reaching 12th. Once completed, the draft booking chart is
taken to the Annual Owner's Meeting held in Oct/Nov, reviewed by the
owners present and confirmed. Very friendly and flexible owners who
will always try to accommodate if an owner has a problem. Other
times can be booked on a first come, first served basis with the
management company during the year.
|
| Special holiday arrangements | There are 2 "special" shares, for which a 25% premium is paid, and entitles those owners to priority on the booking form for school holidays. |

| Reason for sale |
We have had the share for 6 years and have loved our time aboard but
we wish to explore other parts of the world and our work commitments
will not allow us to combine both - unfortunately.

| Running costs 2010 (including management) |
All fees for 2010 £815.47 (+ your own running costs, fuel etc)
There are discounts available for prompt payment. We are a group of people who like to keep the boat in tip-top condition without wasting money, so we concentrate on fundamental issues such as engine maintenance, paintwork and internal decoration. In 2009 we renewed all curtains, carpets and upholstery and had 2 new armchair/single beds. |
The dinette converts to a very comfortable double bed and in the saloon there are two single armchairs which convert into single beds. The central heating system with five radiators is extremely efficient and the water stays hot for ages, easily possible to have hot shower the morning following a cruise the day before. The coal/wood burning stove is also very efficient and keeps the boat nice and cosy in winter.
We spent a Christmas on board when temperatures went down as low as -13oC and whilst all outside was frozen we were as snug as a bug in a rug!
As a total contrast, "patio doors" open up onto the front deck, which is my personal favourite for a bacon sarnie on a summer's morning. There are 2 lockers on the foredeck which hold all the usual essentials.
If I have forgotten anything, please do not hesitate to get in touch by email.
