'''Boat Sharing''' describes the ownership of boats, mainly [[sailing|sailing boats]], by a [[non-profit organisation]] for its members, for pleasure use. |
|||
{{R from ambiguous page}} |
|||
A boat sharing organisation may be an [[voluntary association|association]], [[club]], [[cooperative]] or [[company (law)|company]]. The boats may be owned by the organisation, or [[lease]]d to it, with members hiring or booking the boats for use for a variety of cruise durations. |
|||
The costs of setting up, financing and administering a boat sharing scheme may be offset by the eventual higher utilisation of the boats and moorings, producing cheaper rates of sailing for its members compared to private boat ownership. |
|||
Members joining a boat sharing scheme may also save themselves the need to wait for a [[Mooring (watercraft)|mooring]], which in many [[marinas]] can be significant due to the demand exceeding supply. Advocates of boat sharing contend that it offers a fairer way of utilising over-subscribed but sometimes under-used moorings. |
|||
Larger sharing schemes may also offer the opportunity to members of sailing from different ports and shores, and with different classes of boat. The [[limiting factor]] for the growth of a boat sharing organisation is still, as for the private owner, the availability of moorings. |

- From an ambiguous term: This is a redirect from an ambiguous page name to a page or list that disambiguates it. These redirects are pointed to by links that should always be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should never appear on a page that has "(disambiguation)" in its title – in that case use {{R to disambiguation page}} instead.
