Normal for Norfolk! As the tail end of what could have been a troublesome season draws near, the Earth is still turning, the phone is still ringing and boats are still selling! In fact NYA has seen a marked increase in sales of both new and used boats this season. These are undoubtedly hard times for some industries (indeed the marine industry has suffered it’s share of casualties) however buoyant trading has been the norm at NYA thus far. In a way it’s not surprising at a time when savings earn little in the bank and the cost of borrowing is at an all time low. Throw into the equation the current, soon to expire VAT concession of 15% and the level of sales becomes even more understandable. More than one client this season has said ‘Why keep it in the bank?’ The year began well with a good turn out for the London and Birmingham boat shows with orders directly resulting. Our Owner’s Club reception at the Riverfest in Brundall was again well attended. The Champagne and Pimms flowed well into the afternoon. It clearly did the trick yet again; the sale of our display 350 ensued on the day to a member of the Owners Club keen to upgrade. Beware, we’re looking for the hat trick next year! The recent Southampton Boat Show has to be the high point of the year. Our new twin engined 35 Offshore was bathed in glorious sunshine throughout the show. The boat looked simply stunning. Its dark blue hull, rich oak and sumptuous hide interior were sure to appeal. And they did! Two orders were taken during the show with promises of more to follow. The 35 Offshore is a serious sea boat aimed squarely to compete with the likes of Nimbus and Aquador in the offshore market. Motor Boats Monthly has again taken interest…. Watch this space. NYA have supplied a total of nineteen Haines so far this season, to a variety of locations through out the UK and Europe. Like Haines our service knows no boundaries. The demand for new and used boats especially Haines shows no sign of easing up even with winter approaching. If you’re contemplating a change now may be the time to break cover! The year may have been unusual in all manor of ways, but to coin a local phrase, it’s certainly been……. Normal for Norfolk! Chris Cooper Norfolk Yacht Agency |
