CA member Clive Carrington Wood plans to use the prize to "spend a little more on the boat."
Clive has won a pair of tickets to the Southampton International Boat Show, 19-28 September 2025, after his name was drawn as the winner of the Cruising Association's recent ‘Spot the Difference’ competition.
The competition, which closed on July 31, 2025, attracted numerous entries from members keen to test their observational skills.
"What a delightful surprise!" exclaimed Clive on hearing the news. "It means I’ll have a little more to spend on the boat. I also look forward to meeting fellow CA members at the show."
The CA team looks forward to welcoming members and visitors to the CA Stand H522 at this year’s Show. Come by to immerse yourself in all things cruising.
