Y&Y ownership

   Hi Guys 
I have been away and recently got back and I see enclosed in the Feb Issue of Y&Y was a note saying that Y&Y has been acquired by The Chelsea Magazine Company Ltd and new subscription contact points were provided. There was no mention of the website aspects nor have I noticed any comments or statements on the website. I would be grateful if Mark or anyone else can tell us:
1) has the Y&Y website been included in the package so you are now owned or contracted by The Chelsea Magazine Company?
2) So far as you know will the website continue broadly as before still covering the same aspects?
3) Any reason for the silence?
Cheers
Bob
PS This website remains very much valued by the UK sailing community and long may it continue.......

	OK I'll go back to sleep. I just saw the forum posts in another section dating from early December! Not to worry - take it as another compliment for your magazine and website Bob

	Hi Bob No worries in missing the thread earlier. Yes, GNM Media have sold Y&Y magazine, but Yachts and Yachting Online Ltd. is a separate company and is continuing as normal. Y&Y magazine and YachtsandYachting.com are of course continuing to work very closely together - the two products complement each other in many ways. While I'm now not anything to do with Y&Y magazine, I'm contine to field calls and enquiries and try to resolve any issues. All enquires with reference to Yachts and Yachting Online should come to me. Hope this clears things up a bit for you! Cheers, Mark
