Joint Ownership

[claymore]

Do we have 25 of us who would each like a two week per year holiday on a Benetau?
The cost is £1k to buy and then all expenses split 25 ways.

The asking price is £29K but the £25K in cash will be hard to walk away from.

Excellent idea!!!

Consider me in the queue,

In the queue.

Where would the boat be kept? Seems some people would have 2 weeks in August and some in December. Can a joint ownership with 25 people in it really work?

Or am I missing something here? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

25 of us sharing ownership of a joint isn't going to allow more than a puff each, anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Do you need a delivery crew or is that also to be shared into parts of a hundred and odd miles each?

Skin \'em up

...so long as we don't make a hash of it......

 

[Sgeir]

Will we be required to wear reefer jackets while on board?

Re: Skin \'em up

I'm in, as long as the vendor pays for my flight to inspect the boat. Reckon it will take me at least two weeks to do a thorough survey!!!!!

 

[Sgeir]

What're the sheets like? Nylon or hemp?

 

[Kilter]

Time you were put out to grass!

 

[Stingo]

I think you are onto something here. Just up the maths to £1200 each and you're on.

 

[fluffc]

That'll be difficult as boats are traditionally sold as 64 shares...

[Stingo]

No problem - that makes it £76,800-00; a very acceptable offer. I might even ensure that a new lick of anti-fouling is included.

 

[claymore]

Thought you'd be keen.
I'm thinking that it could be kept on either Grafham Water or Rutland for winter usage- they seem fairly central and quite accessible.
Spring and Autumn on Windermere
Summer - Loch Lomond.

Lake Sailor has agreed to do change-over days for the summer period - said could we make it Sundays?

 

[snowleopard]

The first month or two should be interesting. I reckon the changeover after the first fortnight should be around 25°N 55°W. See you there.

Couldn't we invest a double amount and buy a catamaran ? Or triple amount and buy a trimaran !

Nearly Half Way

I think we may have about 13 or 14 signed up - one of em is Stingo - I suppose we'd better let him buy a bit but any bolshieness and he's bought out (That would cost us £40 each)
Keep em coming - TCM could buy 2 shares, he'd probably think he'd bought another cat.
