General Comments by vendor
An unusual five-share boat,
Harlequin owners are guaranteed 6 weeks cruising during the
cruising season. As a self managed boat the owners meet for
an Annual General Meeting at the end of the cruising season
to determine the package of work to be undertaken over the
winter period and to discuss the annual maintenance
requirements. The owners elect a Chairman, Secretary,
Treasurer and Engineering Manager to coordinate the various
requirements. With the owners carrying out as much of the
maintenance work as is within the capabilities of the group
the cost overhead is kept to a minimum.
Harlequin was built by
five ex OwnerShips owners looking for a larger share of a
boat and a more suitable management arrangement. This
resulted in a boat built for tall people with no expense
spared to produce an easy handling boat. She has
extremely long swims at front and rear, 24inch draft and
the biggest bow-thruster that we could find. She is a
very easy boat to handle in all conditions. Because she
swims so cleanly with very little wake she will do 1+
knots on tick-over. Fortunately the extra large rudder
affords a degree of steerage even when coasting. She
can travel the entire waterway system with the exception
of Froghall Wharf where she will not pass through the
tunnel.
She has recently been
repainted on the outside and has had a transmission
overhaul in 2014.
The current engine was installed in 2007 and the Webasco
central heating boiler in 2005.
Decisions at the AGM are taken on a majority vote basis and
this includes the mooring location. The boat is usually
relocated every 2-3 years to a different marina to explore
different parts of the canal network.
The
owners of the boat must agree to abide by the terms of a
Shared Ownership Agreement. An electronic copy of the
agreement is available on request.
