| Booking System |
A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed
priority order before the owners’ annual meeting, where the
bookings for the next year are confirmed. Each owner has a priority for
that year, and moves up a couple of places each year: after a year at the
top of the list, the owner then starts at the bottom, and after six years
the cycle begins again. Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as
a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (April to October inclusive), and one
week in the remainder of the year. By this route, thirty-six weeks are
firmly booked before the year begins. Allowing for time for winter
maintenance, the remaining fourteen weeks are booked with priority in
reverse order to the original chart, so having last choice originally does
have its compensations.

|
| Priority for school holidays |
Two designated "special" shares have priority booking of school holiday weeks and pay a higher proportion of the costs than "ordinary" shares thus reducing the other 9 shares contributions |

General Comments by vendor |
||
|
All owners meet once a
year, towards the end of the season, to decide where the
boat will be moored the following year, what work will
be covered during the winter.
Sandpiper has recently had
a new engine & gearbox and the interior is in good
condition. |
