| Booking System |
Owners request their four
weeks, one at a time, with 1st, 2nd & 3rd preference of dates in
each of four rounds, from a chart showing the unallocated weeks
remaining at each round. It takes several weeks, during the
autumn (starting October 2018 for 2019 allocations) but is very
effective at giving all owners weeks they can actually use
without needing to trade.
This system has been used successfully to allocate weeks for 2018 and, in practice, most owners got their 1st or 2nd choice, most of the time. Owners of multiple shares (max 3) have a ‘notional’, though not guaranteed, entitlement to adjacent weeks. |
|
| Priority for school holidays |
Three shares are designated as ‘School Holidays’ and the others as ‘Non School Holidays’. Owners can have a mix (up to 3) of School Holiday and non School Holiday shares |

The Semi-Trad stern allows space for at least two people to accompany the steerer (without needing to perch on the gunwales and hold on tight) and there is raised level seating on the port side, this being storage for the gas bottles and engine coolant header tank. For those who need to sit at the helm, there is room for a folding ‘bar’ type stool opposite the control lever. The engine is below the rear deck, along with a horizontal calorifier situated on the port swim and battery banks on the starboard swim. There are four domestic and one starter battery. You enter the galley through the hatch/doorway and down the steps. Immediately on the left is an L-shaped worktop with a Vanette four ring hob in dark green and a microwave oven at high level above. Along the worktop there is an inset stainless steel sink unit with built-in grill & oven unit (matching the hob) below the drainer. There is a generous length of work surface with cupboards and fridge under and a wall cupboard above. Opposite the sink unit is a fold-down worktop, which provides even more workspace when required. The kitchen is well equipped with a full range of saucepans, utensils, cutlery and crockery. Moving forwards again there are opening side doors and hatch in the port side and there is a transparent panel that can be used when the doors are open. There is a diesel fired, stainless steel stove opposite, where it is ideally situated for heating the daytime living space. The dinette table and seating is next. It can accommodate six utilising two stools and also converts to a ‘make-up’ double bed. There is locker space under the seating and a wall cupboard above with inset reading lights underneath. Through a door, the corridor towards the bow is on the port side, passing the bathroom. This has a washbasin, toilet and corner bath with shower over. There is a radiator, airing cupboard, extractor fan and shaver socket. Continuing along the corridor through another door, there is the main cabin with a full-length wardrobe, a cupboard housing the Alde central heating boiler, under-bed storage, high level cupboards and a radiator. The fixed double bed extends to king size utilising an extra cushion. Through another door is the saloon with a full-length wardrobe immediately to starboard followed by a toilet and washbasin. There is a cupboard unit to starboard incorporating electric and aerial sockets with space for the TV, and then a fixed bench sofa/single bed either side of the central walkway. Both make full length berths, in one case utilising a lift-up flap and additional cushion. There is locker space under these benches and they can be combined to create a Super Kingsize double berth. Beyond the benches is the front double glazed door and window unit, which has two doors and which will completely fold out when the weather permits. The well deck has storage lockers on each side which double as seats. There is a cratch and cover enclosing the well deck, which, unusually, has full headroom in the centre. |

General Comments by vendor |

Wolverley will operate in a slightly
unusual manner in that she will roam a pre-determined area
of the canal system (decided at AGM) during the season
(April until the annual stoppages take effect). She will
return to a more restricted area (currently around the Leeds
Liverpool summit) over the winter, when she is expected to
be vacant more of the time.
Also, we intend to be a ‘hands on’ owners club: we only sell shares to those who are able and willing to look after the vessel as well as helping to run the club. Wolverley is self-managed, so shareholders are expected to contribute where possible to work parties for maintenance and repair, usually in the out of season period. We already love Wolverley and she is certainly a credit to her former owners, who have cared for her extremely well since she was first built in 2003.
Normal changeover is 5.00pm on Sunday
so that the weekends aren't broken by a handover. |
