Cruising Association Videos
Members of the Cruising Association have been generously giving their time to produce and present presentations on specialist cruising subjects for us to share more widely.
We hope you will enjoy this selection of bite-sized excerpts from our members’ online offerings and, when you decide to join the CA, you can revisit the pages and benefit from the full video and audio experience.
So sit back, relax and let’s get underway!
