Interested in riding approximately once a week, perhaps to exercise your horse. English or western. Pictured is a Wikipedia horse, because my wife likes white horses. I am not an experienced rider, but my wife is and will keep me in line.

HAVE AND WANT TO SHARE: Truly Fair, a Vivacity, a 20-foot, 1967/1969, English-built, double-keeled, fiberglass sloop, with yellow topsides, blue accent lines, Seattle gray deck, and white sails. We - the two families who own her -- share other boats and cannot use her as much as we would like but are fond of her and do not want to sell her entirely. We would like one other sharing party to purchase a one-third interest or buy one of our half-interests or two other sharing parties each to buy a one-quarter interest in her.

Truly Fair would be kept in the water at the Burrard Bridge Civic Marina in Vancouver during the summer months (say June-September) and stored on land at the marina or in someone's back yard or at her mooring in Silva Bay on Gabriola Island in the winter.

Theoretically, Truly Fair sleeps four, but two adults and two children would be her very full sleeping complement. She can carry more than four day sailors. She draws 28" and can be beached on her twin bilge keels.

In the summer of 2009, Truly Fair had her bottom painted. She is in working condition but needs deck and topsides painting, new interior cushions, new standing rigging, and a replacement port rubrail. She has a brand-new main sail, new battery, 6 hp outboard engine in good condition, and a lovely natural wood tiller and rudder.

We value Truly Fair at $3,600 and would be willing to sell a one-half interest in her for $1,800; a one-third share in her for $1,200; or two quarter shares in her for $900 each. Total annual ownership costs (moorage, storage, insurance, repairs, replacements, and maintenance), exclusive of depreciation, are approximately $3,000, so, annually, approximately $750 for a quarter share partner, $1,000 for a one-third sharing partner, and $1,500 for a one-half sharing partner.There would be a requirement to do your share of annual personal work, such as scrubbing and painting and making repairs. Therefore, for an initial investment of $900 to $1,800, an annual cost of $750 to $1,500, and some elbow grease you can own part of a small coastal cruiser that you will be able to use probably as much as you have time for.

For use to commute occasionally to work/home between West Point Grey and the False Creek area in Vancouver. I don't own such a vehicle but would be willing to buy an interest in, preferably, a new one. Photo is sample only. Proposed number of sharing parties: 2-3. Estimated total purchase price: $2,400-$3,900. Estimated purchase price per sharing party: $800-$1,950. Estimated total annual ownership costs: $1,500. Estimated annual ownership cost per sharing party: $500-$750. (Costs are guesses at this point. We will need to revise.)

Wanted to share (by renting, swap for use of boat, or other arrangement), a single parking stall, preferably covered, near Broadway and Oak in Vancouver, for use from 8:30 am to 6 pm, roughly, on weekdays. The photograph of a parking sign is from a website that sells parking signs. See http://www.parkingsigncorner.com/aspa.html.

A location where we could locate a lock box, near our office, so that when we lock ourselves out or lose our keys, we could get another from the lock box instead of having to go all the way home to get another key. The photograph shown is of a type of lockbox we understand to be commercially available. We would be prepared to pay a small fee or provide a reciprocal service.

Wanted for use only twice a year, for a short haul between marina and home, when putting into or taking the sailboat out of winter storage. I would be happy to make a financial contribution in lieu of rent or a work contribution (such as greasing the axles).

The trailer photo shown is of a Highliner trailer and is for representative purposes only. The boat to be carried is a 20' Vivacity with double bilge keels, so a trailer with high side support rails or fore and aft support rails would be ideal. For details of the boat to be transported, please see http://www.sharablethings.com/interests/29.
