The syndicate

Four of eight shares are available. What a share is, and what it costs.

What a share is: one eighth of a finished boat

Four of eight shares are available. Doug and I hold the other four.

  • An equal eighth of the boat, engines and full drive train
  • Finished by us: fitout, hardtop and topcoat, in the shed at Shell Point
  • Equal time on her, the same as every other share
  • An equal say in anything the syndicate decides about her

You do not have to be handy, and you do not have to find a shed. You have to want the boat.

What it costs: $10,000 a share

Plus an equal share of the running costs.

  • Running costs split eight ways, approx. $1,000 a year per share — see Annual maintenance for the full breakdown
  • Covers the mooring, the annual haul-out and antifoul, registration, insurance and engine servicing
  • The cost of finishing her is ours, not the syndicate's

Once she is finished she is watertight and running, and she goes in the water on her own bottom.
