A quick public domain record search shows Speed Sails Limited as a dissolved company, whereas the details for Speed Sails Dinghies Limited as live, and registered to the Northampton Sailboats site:

You need GRF for this sort of thing, but a quick trawl of the free websites that do various company details suggests there's no connection. But I really know near enough nothing about that sort of thing.

According to their web site Sailboats uk is still owned by its founders Tony and Antony Lincoln.

Here a link to the whois record for the domain name... it appears to either be registered to a sole trader, using 'Northampton Sailboats' as trading style; or the record has not been updated accordingly.

http://www.nominet.org.uk/whois/lookup?query=sailboats.co.uk

IF it has been bought out by another third party, (FR or anyone else...) why would the acquirer not update the domain ownership records of a primary business asset, (being a web based retailer), that they have bought?  Odd. 

Here is the whois record for Speed Sails- as I understand it, purchased from the administrators as part of their arrangements by Northampton Sailboats.  Again why the lack of details for the current registered owner of this domain?  One can only assume it is to protect the privacy of an individual, as surely no one has anything to hide in something as cottage as the dinghy industry?

So, just to be clear on this, are Speeds, Northampton Sailboats and Purple Marine owned by Farzad Rastegar, the man behind Laser Performance Europe? The Sailboats website suggests not, but it may be out of date.

That article puts the issue of dodgy sails into perspective, and apparently not totally off topic.
