Hello To All

[Matt]

I believe Mandy from Moonlight Shadow is a member on here but their share was recently advertised around on Facebook- see screen shot.

So on Thunder we have school holiday shares but there are none for sale at the moment although feel free to ask on our Facebook page- https://m.facebook.com/thundersyndicate/

we have one of the said holiday shares and we always see Mandy on Moonlight so they must be able to swap regularly!

Hi, all. We are seriously thinking of joining a syndicate for a smaller boat, but am I right in thinking that shares can remain on the market for a considerable time?

They can at times and at others they sell quickly. We had someone  sell their share in Evening Shadow in about 3 weeks. It will depend on where you advertise and how much you want for your share.

I think a lot has to do with how quick the seller wants to dispose of their share.

As far as BCBM boats are concerned, when selling you will only have their web site,  unless the seller does a little work themselves using Facebook, Broads Forums and other dedicated web sites. Not selling quickly is not always a hinderance though, when buying my share in Silver Cloud the gent I bought it from had hoped to get a couple more times on her which equates to six months. A share was sold on Silver Cloud last year even before it made the BCBM web site, so they can go quickly as well.

You say you want a small boat. As far as I am aware there is only Goosander (2 occasional 4 berth) which is an Alpha fitted out by Russell Marine. We see her regularly when we top up with fuel at Boulters and being a nosey blighter can confirm she really is beautifully fitted out and maintained. Goosander goes for long periods without availability but I believe there are two shares available now.

Silver Cloud is next size up and is a pure 4 berth craft. She was fitted out by Brister Craft on a Aquafibre Diamond shell and is easily handled having taken her out solo she presented no problems. There is one share available. If you would like to see photographs of her other than on the BCBM site (although you can walk through her on their site.)

Thank you, Trevor & Deirdre (please give my regards to Bromley Common) and Fred, who may well have picked the direction of my thoughts. If anyone from Goosander would like to contact me I should be very pleased to chat.

Fred, Silver Cloud looks like a really nice boat and would be our first choice, except that pets are not accepted. I can appreciate that.

I’ve had a nose around Silver Cloud and she is indeed lovely and very soon she will have her big sister moored up very nearby....... :-)

Most of the owners on Thunder take her out as a couple- bow thruster and electric mudweight make it all a doddle really.

We were on Gooseander but moved to a bigger boat once the grandchildren came along. She is a nice boat and is looked after well there are pictures on the BCBM web site as well for her.

Hello High6

Some shares sell very quickly, we have sold shares straight after putting them on the market others can take longer and School Shares can take a long time to sell.

Many syndicates have waiting lists. I am showing one of the forum members around Ranworth Breeze next Sunday.
