Two weeks in the "high season" (April to September, inclusive) and two weeks in the "low season" (remaining weeks). At the beginning of July each year the Secretary will send out the Booking Chart to owners, in priority order, inviting them to choose their weeks for the following year. The Booking Priority System is designed such that over a six year period an owner would move from the bottom of the list to the top. Each year they would move down 3 positions until they reach the bottom. The following year they would return to the top of the list. When the annual booking process has been completed owners can buy additional weeks that may be vacant. The change over day is Wednesday.

General comments by vendor

Henrietta is currently in a professional Dutch yard in Friesland, for a major “top and bottom” painting. This work is being done by a modern yard with an excellent reputation. We expect to spend a significant amount on this and other minor work, from funds accrued by the syndicate and our normal shareholder contributions.

Henrietta still “turns heads” when out cruising, the subject of many a bankside photograph and admiring comment from other boaters.

On completion later this summer we expect that she will really “look the part”.

We will remain in Friesland for the rest of the summer and winter there before starting to move south, staying in central Holland to enable Friesland to still be accessible but also make trips to Amsterdam feasible.

We will discuss plans later this year as part of our normal annual meeting.
