Hi Simon,  great post on the Boatshow.

Re your comment about BCBM boat management?,  If you are considering a share in a syndicate boat, there are several private syndicates around. Lightning is a private syndicate which we manage between us, as is Gooseander, a 29ft 2 berth Alpha, of which a share is currently available for £5,000 and £800.00 per annum,  Blue mist, which is an Aquafibre 38,  and Ranworth Breeze (as i`m sure you know) and RBs sister ship Southern Crusader. We found on the Lightning syndicate, that we were paying several hundred pounds per year EACH share as a management fee. As a private syndicate, we run it ouselves, so all the money goes on Lightning, rather a not insignificant percentage to a management team.

Just thought you might like to know, in case you`re considering buying a boat?.

Regards and best wishes ...................... Neil.
