The story of the CA told against the background of a century of developments in boating and marine technology.
“There is nothing... absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats,’ are words first published in 1908, the year that the Cruising Association was founded.
Jeremy has adapted a different book, “100 Years of Cruising” by Brian Hammett to tell the story of the CA told against the background of a century of developments in boating and marine technology, including: how a melted ice cream led to an invention which has been blessed - and cursed - by every CA member (and it wasn’t the freezer) and how “the most valuable cargo we ever sent to America” can now be found on many of our boats and in all of our homes. Jeremy always, always, delivers his authoritative talks with dry humour.
