| Booking system | The booking procedure is easier to operate than describe! For booking purposes, the twelve shares are arranged as six pairs. A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed priority order in late summer before the owners’ annual meeting. Each owner in turn can choose up to two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (mid-April to mid-October inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year. After setting aside agreed weeks for winter maintenance (usually January), the remaining weeks are booked on request with priority reversed from that used for the previously-booked weeks.Each pair of shares moves up one place (each owner effectively moving up two places) in each subsequent year and after a year at the top drops to the bottom; the order within the pair is then reversed and the six year cycle begins again. |
| Priority for school holidays | A maximum of three special shares are available, giving these owners priority to pick weeks in school holidays. They contribute a premium of 25% over normal shareholders running costs for this. There is currently one special shareholder, so converting an ordinary share to special status is possible.

General Comments About the Boat
Cheddington has a Graham Reeves hull and a John Milburn fit-out.Cheddington has a semi-trad rear deck with room for the steerer plus two and contains lockers with gas bottles, windlasses, mooring pins etc. Moveable deck boards give access to the engine bay, weed hatch and batteries.
Steps down (over the 240v inverter) lead to an en-suite (pump-out loo and wash basin) with useful hanging and cupboard storage and the master bedroom with double bed (extendable to 5’), storage beneath, cupboards above and a full height wardrobe.
Beyond the privacy door is the gas central heating boiler (concealed by the opened door) and the bathroom to the left with corner bath, shower and full width mirror, radiator, wash basin, pump-out loo, storage and extractor fan.
Next comes the galley which has a good area of worktop, numerous cupboards, oven/grill, fridge, microwave and ceiling extractor fan. A glass-fronted see-through cabinet is also fixed to the ceiling and an opening hatch prevents overheated cooks on fine days and has proved to be the best place to feed the ducks.
Moving further towards the sharp end is the dinette, an L-shaped settee around an extendable table which is easily convertible to a double bed with further storage beneath.
The saloon has a modesty curtain and 2 large comfortable armchairs which convert to beds. There is a flat-screen TV with DVD, a radio and a solid fuel stove. This area also has a full height wardrobe and drawer space.
The folding French-window style doors lead to the well deck which has a large seating area and three lockers for hoses, coal, mops etc. and the brass water tank filler cap.

General comments by vendor
Although my wife and I have been co-owners of Cheddington for only just under two years, we have very much enjoyed the cruising that we have done in that time.
In March of 2014 a new BetaMarine 43 engine with PRM150 D2 gearbox and Python drive were installed by the engineers at Swanley Bridge marina ( http://www.swanleybridgemarina.com ) and the whole drive train and propeller assembly re-engineered for peak efficiency. This has resulted in an extremely smooth and manoeuvrable boat that is a pleasure to steer.
The syndicate of owners is self-managed and extremely friendly and efficient, the management is organised with a chairman, secretary and treasurer.
There is a dedicated website service for news and general discussion, and all owners gather in the autumn for lunch followed by an AGM. The AGM gives everyone a voice as to the running of the boat. There is a comprehensive Syndicate Agreement and procedure for transfer of share ownership.
