[Broad Ambition - TLC Time Again]

I have been looking at the forums for some time now before as Mr Anonymous, but now as a member I can comment on what a fine and outstanding boat BA looks like. I can appreciate the hard work involved in looking after a woody and the GRP lot don't realise the easy life they have to yours, and although I haven't seen her in the flesh/varnish, she does look great on YT.

But I would suggest you keep Her and Robin away from ice.

Hi Davydine,

I believe Lightning currently has 2 shares for sale, and might have 3 due to me possibly selling my share, though i have`nt made up my mind yet.  If you`re well experienced in cruising on large cruisers on the Broads, then check out Lightnings website where a link to share sales can be found.

One thing people should consider when buying into a syndicate is that you are buying into an investment which needs continued investing. That means it`s NOT all about cheap holidays, it`s about joining a likeminded group with a love of boating who wish to keep their investment in tp top condition. 

The down side of some syndicates is the draw allocation system, where if like me, you suffer from eternal bad luck, you always draw the unfavourable weeks, and others always draw the premium weeks. It`s why i`m considering selling my share, as i`m always drawing weeks at the beginning of our spring season, and the end of our autumn season, these weeks being bereft of daylight hours and bloody cold.  What annoys me is the lack of will by other share owners that are not keen to show any decency and give up the odd premium week once in a while to help others who always draw the unfavourable ones. 

I`m not exactly painting a good picture of syndicate ownership, but if a syndicate has a fair system for its allocation process, then it`s worth considering.

I've never liked the idea of buying into a syndicate and without sounding too greedy, the boat has to be all mine or not at all. I appreciate the savings that can be made by being in a syndicate and make boat ownership more closer for many. But fellow boat owners are like neighbours, they can either make it or break it.

If I can add my pennies worth, Brinks Lullaby was an excellent boat and I really liked the Led lighting too, inside and out.
