Booking systemA booking chart for the following calendar year is
circulated in agreed priority order 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 holidaysA maximum of two owners may elect to have school holiday priority.

General comments by vendor


I am the Chairman of the syndicate and have been for the last 15 years.

Sandalwood is a much-loved boat and is maintained to a high standard by a combination of self-maintenance by its shareholders and professional tradespersons when needed. 

She had a full re-paint in 2023 and has been fully serviced. 

She was fitted with 4 Victron monocrystalin solar panels in 2025 and had a new diesel heater fitted to power the central heating and hot water, replacing the old gas-powered system. 

Home mooring: Sandalwood moved to Great Heywood Marina in April 2026.
