Boating forum and new website launched by MDL


Phase one of its digital


transformation with a new online boating forum – The Even Keel – and a redesigned website (www. mdlmarinas.co.uk) has been launched by MDL Marinas. The Even Keel forum is designed for all boat-owners and provides a discussion platform, as well as the space to share hints and tips about aspects of boating life, marina information, product reviews and more.


The main website’s redesign means MDL’s current berth- holders will be able to easily


navigate details of the company’s 18 UK marinas when planning their boating weekends and longer breaks. It also offers updated information on all MDL’s products and benefits. Online purchases and bookings will be available shortly. Berth-holders have instant access to a new benefits area, are able to book a break in one of MDL’s holiday parks, claim tickets for boat shows and book boatyard services. Phase two of MDL’s digital transformation will be launched in September.
