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 five years the cycle begins again. Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (mid-April to September inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year. By this route, thirty 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.
Priority for school holidays	Currently one owner (correct 2015) has special share status and pays 25% extra per annum in return for having priority booking in school holiday period. The purchaser of this share can also opt for special share status. This will not affect the purchase price of the share, just the annual charge.

General Comments by vendor If required an incoming owner can elect to have the share changed to one where each year going forward a school holiday priority can be secured. Please contact the vendor if this option appeals to you. We have held our share in Sunseeker for the last 11 years, with me acting in the role of secretary to the Sunseeker private syndicate since the demise of “OwnerShips”. It is always a pleasure to attend the members AGM one Saturday in November each year, and fellow owners have become my friends as we work together to keep our pride and joy in good order. We change our mooring base from time to time on average every two to three years thus allowing us to explore different cruising routes. Certain tasks are delegated for smooth operation. We have an excellent treasurer and an efficient bookings secretary who have held those positions for some years. We have a small technical team who guide us on maintenance issues. The role of “chair” changes with each AGM, and a secretary will need to be identified when this share is sold. As in all similar schemes, owners are required to sign a syndicate agreement, a copy of which is available on request. This is signed on completion of the sale. We have found Sunseeker to be very reliable and easy to handle. Like other boats in the former “OwnerShips” fleet, it has a proven design, and offers good canal boating in a safe environment.
