Booking system
A list system whereby a booking chart for the following
calendar year is circulated each July, in established owner
priority order, where the bookings for the next year are confirmed.
 
Each owner has a position for that year, and moves up a couple of places each year.
 
After a year at the top of the list, the owner then starts at the bottom.
 
Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’
(April to October inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year.

The list is then circulated a 2nd time for owners to book a 4th week,
and this circulation starts from the bottom of the priority order, so being
at the bottom of the list has its compensations.
 
Two weeks is allotted for winter maintenance.
 
If an owner is unable to use their week it is offered to the rest of the
syndicate on a first come first served basis.
Priority for school holidaysTwo shares are 'premium' or school holiday shares,
which have priority over the remaining owners' bookings,
but must choose from school holiday periods

General comments by vendor



Cotonwood has been fitted with a new gas hob and oven/grill unit (early 2024) whilst the fridge was renewed in 2022. 

The mattress was replaced in 2023 and the upholstery was also changed for an attractive green check fabric. 

The boat is booked for a complete back-to-metal repaint above the rubbing strake in November 2024 for which funds have been ring-fenced. 

There are two weeks available in 2024, 13th September and 11th October 2024. (As mentioned above)

There is the possibility of swapping a week with another owner to be able to take a fortnight's holiday from 4th October 2024. 

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cotonwood and are very sad to sell our share but a change in family circumstances has made our decision for us.
