| Booking system | A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated. 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), 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. |
| Priority for school holidays | A maximum of three owners may have "School Holiday" priority where they choose their weeks ahead of the others but MUST align their weeks to school holidays. These owners pay a premium of 25% on all the running costs over and above the other owners for having this "special" option. |
General Comments About the Boat
A Reeves-built 10/6/4mm steel construction vessel, fitted-out by Milburn Boats, with Betamarine 43bhp diesel engine. She has a semi-traditional stern and a mid galley and has been very well looked-after by her syndicate of owners.
Diesel central heating via new Webasto heater to radiators and a solid fuel stove. Water heating by diesel boiler and by engine (calorifier).
Inside steps to master bedroom (double bed extendable to king size, storage under), with Flat Screen TV, en-suite cloakroom and full-height wardrobe.
Fully lined curtains to all windows and blinds in kitchen and bathroom. Carpet tiles to all areas and vinyl flooring to bathroom. Light maple T&G timber and veneered panels. Willoughby is very light and airy with good use of recessed and spot lighting.
Starting from the stern and working forward:
Semi-traditional Helmsmans deck with seating area (storage lockers under - 2 gas bottles, mooring pins, windlasses etc) and engine under deck.
Inside steps to master bedroom (double bed extendable to king size, storage under), with en-suite cloakroom and full-height wardrobe.
