| Booking system | Each owner has a designated priority position on a rota which changes each year. This cycle ensures that each owner will move from bottom to top over a five year period when the cycle begins again. Starting with position one, each owner selects two weeks in the high season (April to September) and one week in the low season. The remaining weeks, allowing for winter maintenance, are booked in reverse priority order i.e. from last to first. |
| Priority for school holidays | A maximum of two shares may be upgraded to having school holiday priority. This in effect allows an owner with this type of share to have first choice of holidays irrespective of their position on the rota with the proviso that the holidays may only be taken during the school weeks allocated for holidays. The cost of this type of share is set at a premium of 25% of the monthly running costs for the entire year in which the option is taken up. Presently (2018) this option has not been taken up by any of the current owners. |

General comments by vendor
School holiday dates are not very popular with our retired members hence we would not normally see a problem for a member wanting school holiday dates.
Sapphire has a group of owners who meet every year to discuss the next years location and management of this privately operated boat. We have an active policy on maintenance and replacements. The AGM is held in November.
Refurbishments this year have included
Blacking the hull and painting up to the rubbing strake.
Refurb of the kitchen with a new hob , sink and worktop.
Repainting the tunnel flashes.
During the maintenance period the engine is fully serviced and the gas boiler serviced with a full gas check.
We try to do most of the routine maintenance ourselves to reduce costs and involve owners. You do not need specific skills to join us but a willingness to help is appreciated.
The only additional costs are the diesel used during your holiday and pump out costs (£12 at the marina). Gas for cooking and heating and electricity are paid for by the syndicate.
