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 |
Three designated "special" shares have priority booking
of school holiday weeks and pay a higher proportion of the costs than
"ordinary" shares thus reducing the other nine shares contributions

General Comments by vendor
|
Silkwood is a well run well
maintained boat.
An owners A.G.M. is held each October to discuss any
problems arising/repairs required/ costs/plans to relocate
etc.
I have had many enjoyable weeks on board with both friends &
family and I am sure whoever takes over will not regret
their purchase for one minute.
