i truly believe that a buy out will come...eventually. hopefully we will not have too long to wait. i have 275,000 at 13p so anything close to 20p would be good.

[daicaprice] 03/10/2013 11:16

5p divi would be a good starting point.

yeah, a buy out is my only hope.

20,000 + shares gathering dust.

20p a share would be a nice little pressie!

The company is clearly doing well, a buy out would be nice.


Y.CO Becomes First Luxury Brand to Acquire a Single Letter Domain Name
Superyacht brokerage and management company announces its new single letter web address - Y.CO
.Monaco (PRWEB) September 25, 2013

Y.CO announces its new single letter web address - y.co - today, as the 2013 Monaco Yacht Show gets underway. The purchase of y.co from .CO Internet S.A.S sees the superyacht brokerage and management company become the first luxury brand to migrate to a single letter domain and further reinforces the company's position as an industry leader in digital marketing and innovation.

Joining the ranks of Amazon, Twitter and Google, Y.CO is one of only a select group of companies in the world to have successfully acquired a single letter .CO domain. The new web address is expected to enhance Y.CO's brand recognition and allow the company to connect and engage with their consumers more effectively. To better communicate with mobile and socially connected consumers, Y.CO is today also launching its new iPad app.

Charlie Birkett, Founding Partner and CEO at Y.CO comments "To engage with a client base that includes some of the biggest names in the tech world, it is essential for Y.CO communications to be at the forefront of technology. Our website is our most important communication channel and we are proud to be one of the first and only companies to have a web address that exactly matches our brand name. The launch of our iPad app, allowing offline access to our yachts, compliments this perfectly. These are the investments that cement our position as an innovative, forward thinking company offering a truly global service to owners and charterers of superyachts worldwide."

Juan Diego Calle, Founder and CEO of .CO comments, "Just as in the world of boating, there are yachts and there are super yachts; in the digital world there are domain names, and there are super domain names. By changing its digital brand from ycoyacht.com to the eponymous Y.CO url, one of the shortest and most valuable pieces of digital real estate in the world, Y.CO joins the ranks of a handful of the world's leading tech titans, including Google (g.co), Twitter (t.co) and Amazon (a.co), each of which has previously acquired a .CO single letter domain name to further their own online branding initiatives."

YCO looking perky this morning

[drbeng] 19/6/2013 14:52

A hideous infringement of civil liberties - almost as bad as a stranger touching one's can of Spesh

[maxk] 19/6/2013 10:51

Quiet too.

[wolterix] 19/6/2013 10:33

bit dusty in here

[wolterix] 19/6/2013 10:32

cheers y'self

"it would be unlikely if the share price was much above or below 5p.

but they delisted because they thought the share price did not reflect the business"

This is what is so outrageous about the whole thing. Small shareholders have been absolutely shafted by this BoD's behaviour. And they knew that while they were doing it. I had to sell quite a few shares in my SIPP as unlisted companies are not permitted. The BoD neither seemed to understand this nor to care less about PIs in this situation when I raised this issue in the EGM. We should have been offered cash for our shares at a value that truly "reflected the business". It's a form of theft as far as I'm concerned. I should not have been forced to sell my SIPP shares for a few pence. Still angry!

Personally I think they're doing quite well and would like to think one day they may issue a special divi or of course get taken over but only time will tell.
Wont lose any sleep over them either way.

[homeboy35] 13/6/2013 11:12

cheers for that

[daicaprice] 13/6/2013 11:05

You can follow them on twitter @YCOyacht to see whats going on.

[homeboy35] 13/6/2013 10:53

I got stuck with a few of these, not even knowing they were delisted.

I recently wrote to YCO, and said it could be possible to sell them, but it would be unlikely if the share price was much above or below 5p.

but they delisted because they thought the share price did not reflect the business... or so they said!

[jamie62] 13/6/2013 10:45

I hold but never had a call....one day i might get a £1?

[acta_topup] 31/5/2013 17:53

very good news (despite being delisted! - YCO still advertise regularly in FT how to spend it and are clearly doing well):



Superyacht Big Fish Sold by Y.CO
By: Ben Roberts
Published: 22nd May 2013

Big Fish, the intrepid and ground-breaking explorer yacht from the McMullen & Wing shipyard in New Zealand, has now been successfully sold by Y.CO.

Big Fish garnered high acclaim from the superyacht community after her bold maiden voyage took her on a polar circumnavigation to demonstrate her capabilities as a robust and rugged endurance yacht with style in abundance. Since then, her reputation has only grown after a number of exciting adventures took her and her charter guests around the world.

Big Fish was originally available for sale through Y.CO at an asking price of $25,000,000. The luxury charter and brokerage experts have also extended their thanks to Captain Winston Joyce-Clarke and his Crew for their support and assistance.

However, renowned for being an exemplary charter yacht, Big Fish will still be exclusively available for charter through Y.CO in South East Asia for the coming months.

After stepping on board during the Monaco Yacht Show and the short period of time she spent on the Thames, Big Fish became an instant favourite in the Superyachts.com office and we're elated to report on her successful sale.
