J22 Fleet Charter Pool

In an effort to help further promote our fleet and class of boat we would like to start a local charter pool. This is especially designed for owners who's boats are not being utilized for whatever reason but don't want to sell it quit yet or even would like to make a little extra cash to pay for storage fees, etc..  The idea is for the fleet officers to maintain a non-published list of local boat owners open to making their boats available for charter throughout the season. We are looking into establishing a boiler plate charter agreement that can easily be used as well as potentially standard insurance options in order to make things as easy and seamless as possible. The concept is for the fleet to market the availability of charter boats for people considering buying a boat who want to try it out or just to sail a season or even a couple events. This might also help encourage more out of town sailors for our events if they don't have to drag a boat from far away. If we receive a charter request, we will then distribute it together with the charterer's qualifications. Owners can then reply to us with any interest along with their preferred terms. If it is a match, then voilà, more boats on the line and our fleet keeps growing. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to j22fleet-19@googlegroups.com
