| Booking system | All shares move in rotation annually on a booking rota. Holidays are booked in order of position on the rota. Each year shares move up the rota in pairs and the top two shares fall to the bottom. Bookings for the following year normally start in the summer, and are confirmed at the annual AGM, normally each autumn. The booking system has recently been modified to take account of the relocation to Canal du Midi, and the longer season that is available in South of France. Each shareholder can choose one 3 week block in the high season, or one 2 week block in the high season and one 2 week block in the low season, or two 2 week blocks in the low season. (If the boat reverts to Burgundy area in the future, it is likely that the old booking system will be re-installed i.e. 2 consecutive weeks in high season and 1 in low season.) |
| Priority for school holidays | Two shares are designated as "special" and have priority booking for school holidays. |
General Comments About the Boat
Derrineel has bedroom cabins front and rear with the raised wheelhouse separating the rear cabin from the rest of the boat making it a private guest room.
The saloon has seating for six or so on two armchairs, a bed settee and various free standing chairs and stools. The dining table is lightweight and easy to move for outdoor meals. The saloon is equipped with hi-fi, and DVD. The kitchen area has electric fridge, gas cooker, microwave, and a full complement of crockery, cutlery, glassware and kitchen gear. Space heating is from a Morso ‘Squirrel’ multi-fuel stove or a central heating system with radiators in each room.
The wheelhouse has room for guests, seating and dining. The roof is demountable to create an alfresco area.
To the rear of the wheelhouse is the rear cabin, small and has a full-size double bed, storage and a small en-suite toilet, basin and shower room.
All on-board lighting is LED and there is (subject to having a shore connection) a mains supply for the kettle, microwave, immersion heater and other appliances.
Duvets, mattress, protectors and pillows are provided, but owners are expected to bring their own bedding and towels, although 1 set is provided on board for those travelling from further afield
The boat makes for very comfortable living aboard and carries two bikes for exploring further afield.

General comments by vendor
We inherited 2 shares and are keeping one. The group is very friendly and accommodating.
Derrineel is entirely managed by its owners. Owners have different boating skills and experiences, and where possible maintenance work is undertaken "in house". There are 3 elected officers, from amongst the owners, who manage the day to day issues on the boat - Bosun, Secretary and Accountant
Derrineel has recently had the annual AGM which has agreed minor maintenance for the forthcoming year, annual fees, officers being re-elected, the location of the MIDI plus holiday booking rota ratified.
