General comments by vendor
There is a detailed syndicate agreement and all relevant documentation is shared between the members on Dropbox.
There is a Google Group for discussion and updates.
Somerton has a significant fund in reserve, meaning that major works such as engine replacement will be covered by the fund without additional outlay by the syndicate owners.
Two weeks in January are used to carry out maintenance, such as hull blacking and engine servicing, and to make any changes agreed at the AGM.
The syndicate votes on the mooring location for the following year at the AGM. Generally, Somerton stays in each location for two years.
