General Comments About the Boat


The owners of Rivendell took over the boat from The Boatshare Company in 2005 and now have a full dedicated committee and engineer to look after the running of the boat. The owners hold an annual meeting to discuss the boat and at the meeting the costs for the following year will be estimated. During the year owners are kept informed by email.

Rivendell was built in 2004 and is a Semi Trad design and 58ft long. 

She is a comfortable boat with a fixed 5ft extending double in the rear cabin there is a double in the dinette and the two chairs in the front cabin are convertible into single beds.

There is a washroom with a pump out toilet a wash basin and a full size shower cubicle with a domestic hinged door.

There is full hot water central heating with radiators. the heating boiler also backs up the calorifier for hot water.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a 4 burner hob and an eye level grill and oven. Power is by domestic batteries and inverter.
Rivendell also has a land mains hook up for use when on the mooring.

The front cabin has two comfortable chairs that convert to beds and there is a stereo system and Digital TV and a multi-fuel stove.

How are the running costs to be apportionedOn this basis that the incoming owner is
using the March 2024 week I would ask that

General comments by vendor


Ref bookings: 
Option to buy an out of season week for £150 before 4th March and after October 27th, depending on the winter maintenance schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The annual subscription fee (currently £330) covers all maintenance and enhancements ; it also includes one gas bottle replacement if required during your week. The only additional costs would be for fuel that you use and pump-outs.

Rivendell is an extremely well run boat with a very healthy bank balance. There are extra weeks that can be "bought" by owners wanting more time on board. These are feb/mar before the first official weeks and mid-end of November after the official cruising season; they are offered on a "first come" basis at £150/week at the moment.

Rivendell enjoyed a complete re-paint at the end of 2020 and an almost entire upholstery refit in 2022.
