General comments by vendor


 A new wheelhouse roof was fitted in June 2023. 

The boat underwent some £15k worth of refurbishment work over the winter season 2023/24 including lifting out, hull survey and re-blacking, upgrading of the two ensuites and fitting of wi-fi equipment so that owners can access wi-fi while on board.  

This winter, 24/25, more work is taking place including grit blasting and repainting, refurbishment of windows and further maintenance work to keep the boat in good working order.

We have been an owner for 7 years and it has been a very enjoyable experience and a very cost-effective way of boating in France. 

Dorney is well managed by its owners. The syndicate is effective and friendly. There is a social event and an AGM annually in November to elect a management committee (Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) and agree maintenance weeks and a maintenance schedule for the coming year. 

Owners are in regular contact by email and Whatsapp groups. 

Trip reports are circulated to owners. 

Dorney is based in St Jean de Losne, southern Burgundy, with access to a variety of cruising areas.
