Co-ownership Co-ownership is fundamentally different from time-sharing. In co-ownership you own an agreed part of the asset, which means that if and when it is sold you get back part of the sale proceeds. In time-sharing you merely get a licence to use the asset for a specified period. Co-ownership also means that shareholders are actively involved in the management of the asset. They agree at the Annual General Meeting, held in January at Bisham Abbey near Marlowe, whether to keep the boat at the same places as the previous year and whether to retain the agents who look after maintenance and servicing. Co-ownership is therefore an efficient and cost-effective method of enjoying a capital asset at a much lower cost than owning it entirely oneself or of leasing it from a hire company. You can enjoy cruising the French canals economically and without the responsibilities of maintenance.
