General comments by vendor
We have had at least one share for over seven years, and we have had many excellent holidays on the boat. Glistening Steel offers safe and comfortable mobile accommodation for the exploration of a fascinating and beautiful region of France The Soane is a beautiful river with many historic towns to explore, whilst the canals give access to historic cities such as Dole, Besancon, Dijon and Beaune.
This is a great opportunity to become a co-owner in an easily handled Stevens 1140 Dutch Steel Cruiser based at the secure Port de Plaisance, Saint Jean de Losne some 20km south east of Dijon and 5 to 6 hours driving from Calais. The River Saone runs through St Jean which is considered to be the boating centre of France with easy access to 2 rivers and 4 canals. With the advantage of carrying out remote changeovers, the choices of cruising areas are many.
The rivers and canals never seem crowded. The locks are mostly automatic in this area with lock-keepers deployed to assist when the locks are manual.
The friendly syndicate is self managed with an elected committee and owners meet once a year at the AGM. So that every aspect can be covered the meeting is an all day event and only ends when everyone has had their say, and decisions taken, as to how the boat will be managed, engineered, maintained, improved and financed for the coming boat year (April to March). As we are self managed all subscriptions go in to maintaining Glistening Steel in tip top condition.We have an annual general agm when we decide on what needs to be done for the maintenance of the boat.
We all get on well with each other and all take part part in various areas of management of boat.
