The Cruising Association is delighted to announce the launch of the 2025 Big Winter Prize Draw, giving CA members the chance to win a choice of Yacht Legs, Boat Stands or Cradles worth up to £3,000. The prize has been generously sponsored by The Yacht Leg and Cradle Company.
Launched at the Southampton International Boat Show, entries opened on Thursday 25 September 2025 and will close at 1600 hrs GMT on Wednesday 18 March 2026.
"For us, sponsoring this prize is about enabling freedom, adventure and self-sufficiency," said Matthew Shore, Operations Director of The Yacht Leg and Cradle Company. "Our company was founded on British engineering and ingenuity to solve practical problems for sailors. That spirit still drives us today.
"We want boat owners to get the most out of their time on the water. Our iconic Yacht Legs epitomise this goal. Having the right equipment allows you to explore shallow anchorages, dry out safely and even maintain your boat throughout the cruising season, without the lost time and expense of a haul out. We can't think of a better partner than the Cruising Association to help us put this game-changing equipment into the hands of the cruising community."
