Here we are entering the season of mists and fantastic autumn colours.

As always at this time of year I like to remind us all of the leaf fall effect on propulsion.

If your revs are increasing and the boat speed is decreasing try placing the morse controller in neural and glide for a moment to allow the leaves to fall away from the propeller.

If this does not work try a short burst of reverse thrust.

The main thoughts in October are focused towards the building excitement of "Heartsease" launch.

Autumn is now fast approaching and we are busy preparing for the launch of our new boat.

It is always exciting as we watch the build starting to take shape.

All of the planning and buying of the equipment and inventory is almost complete.

The boat has been painted and the sign writer due soon.

It is at that point that you can see your new boat in all her glory.

We are now taking early bookings to view" Heartsease"

If you think she is your dream boat let me know and I will arrange for you to see her.

August Cuttings
Ownashare staff and the owners that are joining us are really looking forward to our show at the end of August.
With 2 Ownashare managed boats, a hire boat and a corporate hire boat this should be a very interesting event.
We always enjoy the hospitality of the Fradley marine staff and love the buzz of the location.

What a sudden transformation in the weather.
They are promising wall to wall sun shine.

It is in July that we meet with our syndicate representatives and enjoy lunch and a chat.
This is our syndicates and Non executive directors chance to chat to each other.
The Ownashare team always look forward to our owners feedback and we like a chance to discuss our future ideas.

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our owners for your continuing support and encouragement.

June Cuttings

June has arrived and with it the sun.

The canal is alive with activity, boats have come out of their hibernation and make a colourful sight on the waterways.

Friendly exchanges and waving to all on the cut or towpath, engender a happy relaxed atmosphere.

We were really pleased to welcome people aboard Forget Me Knot at our open day at Fradley and subsequently we are very happy to welcome some of them as new owners.

What a wonderful surprise the weather has engendered.
The array of beautiful colours the pea greens of the hedge rows interspersed by pale pinks of the black thorn.
Nature has come back to life and it is such a relief to see after such a long winter.
On our last trip out I even managed to see my first ducklings and hear the wonderful noise of bird song waking you from your slumbers every morning.
This is England at its very best and cruising through this wonderland of bird song and colour is almost impossible to beat.

April is now providing some early signs of warmth and brightness.
With Ownashares first sales event completed with wonderful success, we are now planning our early summer event.
I would like to thank the owners who regularly come along to these events to help meet new and potential owners.
We as a company are busy with our plans for the coming year and have lots of new ideas for the year ahead.
Back to the canals and holidays.
At last I feel my annual holidays are near enough to plan our first trip out.

These owners newsletters are sent out quarterly (March, June, September and December)
