Privately run syndicates can be much much cheaper than a commercial one so much so that our quarter share cost the same as the 1/12th share we had when the same boat was run by a commercial company.
Pick your syndicate carefully and ensure that the unwritten "culture" is one you can live with. It might be worth buying a smaller share to start with and buy up shares in teh same boat as they become available once you know you like the boat and group. Regards Terry Rigden
