Booking systemAll 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 holidaysTwo shares are designated as "special" and have priority booking for school holidays.

We enjoyed our years on Derrineel prior to my injury.

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.
