Booking system
A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated
in agreed priority order during the autumn and before the
owners’ annual meeting in November, where the bookings for
the next year are confirmed. 

Each owner has a priority 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, and after six years the
cycle begins again. 

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. By this route, thirty-six weeks
are firmly booked before the year begins. 

Allowing for time for winter maintenance, the remaining
fourteen weeks are booked with priority in reverse order
to the original chart, so having last choice originally does have
its compensations.

These extra bookings are confirmed on the
first day of the month before the month of the booking.
Priority for school holidaysThree designated "special" shares have
priority booking of school holiday weeks and pay a
higher proportion of the costs than "ordinary" shares thus
reducing the other 9 shares contributions

General comments by vendor

We have only had the boat for a few months but are having to sell as our little dog has a violent reaction to it.
 
Having lived aboard our own boat previously I can honestly say this is a very good boat in good condition and well maintained. 
 
She has recently been repainted a very good professional job and had a new engine recently.
