Booking System |
A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed
priority order before the owners’ annual meeting, where the
bookings for the next year are confirmed. 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 inclusive), 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. These extra bookings are confirmed on the first
day of the month before the month of the booking
|
Priority for school holidays |
A maximum of two owners may elect to
take a share with school holiday preference.

General Comments by vendor
|
Longsdon was built in
2009 and has been very well maintained since new with
several of the shareholders being original shareholders. The
syndicate is self managed and is very efficiently run to
keep cost low but standards very high but at the same time
remains a very friendly syndicate with everyone willing to
help out.
This very friendly and
extremely competent syndicate self manages the boat with a
policy to maintain her as close as possible to her original
state with a friendly management system and a mooring policy
democratically determined by all the shareholders.
1/12th share currently pays £99 per month (correct 2018) to
cover all maintenance and running costs inclusive of all
funds for re-painting and engine replacement.
Longsdon has been a
great boat for us and we have enjoyed every week out on her
but sadly recent commitments have made it difficult for us
to make proper use of her and hence our sad decision to sell
our share.
