| Booking system | A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in the middle of the previous year. 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), 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 two months before the spare week starts. If an owner is unable to use their week(s) it is offered to all owners via our WhatsApp group with priority given to those already on the boat or due on the following week. |
| Priority for school holidays | A maximum of three owners may have "School Holiday" priority where they choose their weeks ahead of the others but MUST align their weeks to school holidays. |
General Comments About the Boat
Apperley was the first of the 'New Generation' boats commissioned by OwnerShips, and as a result is of a very high specification.

She has a semi-traditional stern and a mid galley layout.
Diesel central heating to radiators and a solid fuel stove.

General comments by vendor
Over the 14 years that we have owned our share, Apperley’s owners have continued to upgrade and refurbish her, using funds raised by a slightly higher than average monthly payment. In 2023, and without a further cash-call on the owners, we were able to pay for a new Beta Marine engine and a new diesel fired heating system. Over the last two years, we have bought a new more comfortable sofa bed; a new fridge and new curtains and are about to replace the microwave (November 2024). The incoming owner will benefit from this policy and our healthy bank balance. In keeping with this policy, at the 2024 AGM all owners unanimously agreed to a small rise in monthly contributions commencing 1st January 2025.
