Refer a Friend - April winner announced and May prize revealed

Congratulations to CA member Mike Perkins, winner of April’s prize: an RYA Diesel Engine Maintenance Course kindly provided by First Class Sailing.

Mike was very pleased with winning the Diesel Engine Maintenance Course with First Class Sailing saying, "Having been caught out a couple of times with engine issues I am hoping that the diesel course will at least give me some background on what to look for should trouble arise and how the engine actually works.

"I’m always happy to refer friends to the CA so they can benefit from access to all of the information available on the website and up to date information on CAptain's Mate. The talks and seminars over the winter months also offer a welcome aid when planning the following seasons cruising."
