| Booking system | Each summer a booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed priority order, where the bookings for the next year are confirmed. Each share 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 share then starts at the bottom, and after five years the cycle begins again. Each full share owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (April to September inclusive), and two weeks in the remainder of the year. Half shares have one high season plus one low season week. By this rota, 40 weeks are firmly booked before the year begins. Allowing time for winter maintenance, the remaining 10 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 holidays | No such scheme on this boat |
