| 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 9th owner can choose three weeks 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. These extra bookings are confirmed on the first day of the month before the month of the booking. |
| Priority for school holidays | A maximum of ONE owner may have a "Special" share which gives them priority over others. They may choose their first three weeks ahead of the others, and choose any two weeks in high seaton and any one week in low season. Their additional 1/9th share week will be allocated in order as per standard shares. This owner pays 25% more towards the running costs each year for having this "privilege". They can relinquish the special status in any year as long as the booking chart for the subsequent year has not been completed. |

Cookely is a 58' narrow boat built on steel by Graham Reeves (on a 10/6/4 spec.) and fitted out by John Milburn (Milburn Boats) and was initially commissioned and managed by OwnerShips but she is now run by her owners.
She is “cruiser” style, with all the main seating areas at the stern, close to the person on the tiller, and leading forward to the galley.
She has a generous 100 gallon fresh water tank, and a 65 gallon fuel tank.
A spacious and well-fitted out bathroom with corner bath and shower and fresh-water WC, and a second similar en suite WC and hand-basin for the master bedroom.
12-volt lighting and 240-volt AC supplied by inverter (2.5kw Phoenix) or by land-line hook up (via Centaur charger).
Carpet tiles to all areas except wood block floor in the kitchen and bathroom. Light ash T&G timber and maple veneered panels. Blinds on some windows where appropriate, and curtains on all other windows. Cookley is light and airy with good use of both recessed and spot lighting.
