NorfolkNog Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Looks like re-badged DRL. Very interesting.........Hmmmmm....Wonder what's afoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hmm not the most original sounding name in the world but never mind. I'd be interested to know if there's been any change in ownership or if it's just a rebranding exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I've had a quick look and noticed there are no dimensions listed. Not a problem for us old timers but surely a 1st timer would be interested in the size of boat they were hiring? I also noticed that Magical Time (Foster 30) is listed as new for 2013, while i'm aware it has been totally refitted from a bare shell it is definitely not a new boat. When you click on the PDF it shows an Aphlacraft 29 or 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Having looked at Companies House registration it appears to be a simple re-branding. No change of ownership Mike O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesprite Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Assuming someone uses a search engine to find a boat/holiday, wouldn't Anglia and Boat be good words to have in your name? as a technophobe I have no idea how search engines work but it makes sense to me.

Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Assuming someone uses a search engine to find a boat/holiday, wouldn't Anglia and Boat be good words to have in your name? as a technophobe I have no idea how search engines work but it makes sense to me. Probably not, actually. Putting common words like "Boat" and "Anglia" gets zillions of hits because they are so commonplace and appear on so many pages. It's often actually better to call a business something unusual, or with a "bespoke" spelling, then they pop out at the top of search engine listings. For example googling "DRL boats" still shows the as the top hit, whereas "Anglia Boats" has them some way down the list, below "Anglia Yacht Brokers" etc. ...
