Booking System |
A booking chart for the following calendar
year is circulated by e-mail in agreed priority order in the
autumn. 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 September 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. The boat
"year" for bookings is April-March
|
Priority for school holidays |
(Correct 2017)
Two owners have special shares which give priority for booking.
These owners pay a higher proportion of the costs than ordinary shares.

General comments about the boat |
Shelton is
a Hexagon built semi-trad style boat, with the gas bottle
storage in a locker/seating area on the left-hand side of the
rear deck.
Below the rear deck is a well-serviced 4 cylinder Nanni Diesel
engine, with the calorifier and battery banks.
Dropping down the steps which are on the left-hand side of the
boat, you pass the rear toilet with wash basin. To the right of
the toilet is a cupboard with hanging space and access to the
top-up tank for the boiler. Adjacent to this on your left is
the main bedroom with a double bed, which can be extended to
king-size and has drawer storage underneath. There is also a
satellite TV and DVD player, and a radiator. The controls to the
Alde boiler are above the bed.
Next is the main toilet/bathroom, which has a wash basin,
shower, and a heated towel rail.
This is followed by another cupboard with hanging space, below
which is the freezer.
Moving forwards we have the kitchen with the oven below a
granite work surface, followed by the stainless steel sink
unit. Next to the sink is the hob, surrounded by further work
surfaces, underneath which is the fridge. There are cupboards
beneath the work surfaces, as well as on the wall facing the
sink, together with wall cupboards and a microwave. The kitchen
is well equipped with a full range of saucepans, utensils,
cutlery crockery and basic cleaning materials.
This brings you to the dinette area, with a glazed opening side
hatch in the right-hand wall. There is an L-shaped dinette on
the left, which sits six when using the two collapsible chairs
that are kept on board. This also pulls out to make up into a
double bed and has locker space under the seating, containing
the relevant duvets and pillows.
Immediately after the dining area, there is the solid fuel stove
to the left, and a further radiator on the right hand wall.
We then come to the saloon area, with two leather swivel chairs,
and a satellite TV and DVD player. It is possible to fit two
further berths in this area, but owners have to bring their own
mattresses.
Finally we come to glazed folding doors which open on to the bow
seating area, with storage lockers under. There are removable
cushions for both the bow and stern seating which are kept on
the boat.

General Comments by vendor
|
Shelton is a fully managed boat with a group of friendly and
enthusiastic owners. We keep in touch mainly by e-mail,
where any problems and suggestions may be raised. Each year
there is an AGM when matters are discussed in more detail.
Regular maintenance and servicing is covered by a contract
with the marina, who also carry out the winter works. Most
owners, however, deal with minor repairs themselves.
Before changeover day, owners must ensure that the toilets
are pumped out, and that fuel, water and gas are replenished
ready for the next owners. All this can be done in the
marina, whose staff are ready to assist if required. We have
an arrangement with a local company for an internal valet on
each changeover day.
Shelton is a comfortable, modern boat fitted with light
wood panelling and kitchen cupboards and has modern wall
lights, fitted with LED bulbs for economy. The head room is
particularly good, and there is no “ducking”, even in the
shower!
Mains 240V electricity is available from an inverter using
battery power or from a shore supply, if connected. 12V d.c.
cigar lighter points powered from the domestic batteries are
fitted at various locations.
Domestic hot water is heated by the engine, gas boiler or
shore electricity. Central heating is from the gas boiler or
shore electricity. The gas bottle and a spare are located in
a stern locker.
In fine weather it is very pleasant to make use of the
comfortable sitting area in the bow, where there is a
removable table.
(Correct for 2016 location, this marina may change)
In the marina at Anderton, we have our own berth, with individual access
to shore electricity, covered by a pre-paid card. In less
congenial weather, therefore, it is possible to stay in the
marina, using the boat as a base.
The marina has excellent facilities, including showers,
laundry and free Wi-Fi.
Anderton is situated, providing access to different areas
such as North Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire.
