General Comments by vendor
Syndicate of 13 owners, 12 own 8% share each (giving 4 weeks guaranteed a year) and 1 owns 4% (giving 2 weeks a year) remaining 2 weeks used for Winter Maintenance each year. The Syndicate is self managed with 2 owners being elected as managers, one the Syndicate Manager and the other the Financial Manager, both of whom have to sign cheques for mooring fees, maintenance, insurance etc... Sleeps 6 in 3 separate cabins: 2 Single in forward Cabin with en-suite bathroom. 1 Double rear Cabin with shared en-suite bathroom. 2 Singles (head to head) in rear starboard Cabin. Can accommodate an additional person on settee seat in lounge. Has additional separate Shower Room with heated Towel Rail. Lightning is moored and maintained to a high standard by Brooms of Brundall, on the Norfolk Broads. The mooring provides a members shower/toilet block (with own key), water, pumpouts, mains shore power, and vehicle parking. There is also a small waterside general/fishing store adjacent to the marina. The marina is next to Brundall railway station so very convenient for travel to/from Norwich or Great Yarmouth. Change over day is Saturday after 2pm. Owners must leave the boat clean by 11:00 on the Saturday to give Brooms time to undertake turnaround maintenance before next owner arrives. Pets can be taken aboard but special care must be taken when cleaning to ensure that no hair is left on board. Lightning is 'no smoking on board'. Each year an AGM is held at which 4 weeks are drawn, 1 from each quarter, from a hat, and then owners are at liberty to swap their weeks with each other as they wish, thereby changing weeks not required for a week that one can use, and giving the opportunity for those with children to get school holidays. An owner can offer to swap any of their weeks with other owners via the syndicate manager. If at a late date an owner finds that they cannot use their week, and no one else volunteers a swap, then the syndicate manager will offer the boat to others in the syndicate with no charge, other than paying for the 2 toilet pump outs and diesel used during their week on the boat.
