Estimated price for orientation: 1 800 $
Category: Narrowboats or Canalboats
Class:
Description
Depending on the time of year, it would cost between £600 and £1200 a week to hire a 2 + 2 berth river cruiser equivalent to ‘Sailor V’ on the French inland waterways.
As one of the co-owners of ‘Sailor V’, however, your week's cruise would cost you between £270 and £400 (see syndicate website for details).This auction is for 2 shares in the ‘Sailor V’ co-ownership syndicate which entitle the member/shareholder to ownership of 1/15th of the syndicate assets (boat, trailer and other equipment) and two weeks use of the boat on the French inland waterways every March or October for a minimum of 10 years. The availability and price of other weeks/shares are set out on the syndicate website. Shares/weeks in the syndicate do not have to be consecutive and can be sold at any time. This is a private, non-commercial syndicate run by the members for the members. There are no management fees. The ‘Sailor V’ syndicate is similar to others I have set up in France, the first of which is now in its tenth successful year and the members have recently voted to keep it going for at least another five years. ‘Sailor V’ is a 26ft trailerable 2+2 berth river cruiser constructed from exceptionally strong low-maintenance epoxy composite. It is currently nearing completion at my yard near Marlborough, Wilts and, although it has already been tested on the Kennet and Avon canal, it will have its 'official' launch in France in March 2017 prior to a five week spring 'shake-down' cruise from the R. Lot via the Canal du Midi and the Camargue to Avignon/Arles. Potential syndicate members wishing to join the cruise on a 'try before you buy' basis will have the cost of the cruise (£240 per person per 6 days and 6 nights (in the fwd cabin), food and drink on board included) refunded in full if they subsequently decide to become a member of the syndicate. No one joining the cruise will be under any pressure or obligation to join the syndicate. I have designed and built ‘Sailor V’ using my 30 years of experience building boats for exploring the rivers and canals of mainland Europe and I intend to be an active member of the ‘Sailor V’ syndicate. Full details are available on the syndicate website or by contacting me, Edmund Sylvester, on 07867 94 33 95 or by email at . Visitors wishing to inspect the boat are always welcome at my boatyard by prior arrangement.
