General Comments by vendor
With a small syndicate of just four we can be extremely flexible over almost everything. So changeovers do not need to be on Saturday, nor at the same location each time. Often the boat is cruised from point A to point B, then the next user collects from point B and cruises to point C... and so on. Similarly booking at short notice, changing start and finish dates etc only requires a bit of liaison with fellow shareholders (by phone, email, text message etc.) and almost anything is possible.
