General comments by vendor
I have enjoyed tremendously my last 10 years or so with the Debdale syndicate.
They are an amazingly friendly helpful group of people. Really supportive team players and all love Debdale and she is maintained as well as when some of the members first bought her.
As a self-managed boat email is used for keeping in touch, with documents posted to the owners' secure section of the Debdale website.
An AGM is held where all aspects of management and future planning are discussed face-to-face. Recent domestic improvements include a new sofabed in the saloon with new upholstery at the dinette to match, two new widescreen Avtech TVs with built-in DVD players plus built-in Freesat, also new microwave, as well as regular replacement of domestic items such as duvets and pillows.
The full repaint and re-varnishing carried out over several months during 2017 winter maintenance has paid dividends. Debdale looks in fine fettle.
