The CA’s Regulatory & Technical Services (RATS) Group is your go-to resource for navigating the complexities of cruising.
Across four days of the Southampton International Boat Show, our experts will be on Stand H522 (1100-1700 hrs) offering free, one-on-one advice on a wide range of regulatory and technical issues.
Our AGM will be held at CA House, on Wednesday 12 November 2025, at 6.30pm.
The nomination of any candidate who is willing to stand for Council membership should be submitted either by letter or email to the Company Secretary at CA House (members need to be logged in to see contact email address) (cosec@theca.org.uk), before 30 September 2025.
Get expert advice and win fantastic prizes with the CA at Southampton International Boat Show, 19-28 September 2025. Our Stand H522 is more than just a meeting point; it's a hub of knowledge, hosted by our members and staff who are as passionate about sharing their knowledge as they are about being on the water.
At the heart of the Cruising Association are our volunteers – whose dedication, passion and hard work keep the CA moving forward.
To recognise their often-unseen contributions, we launched a new Volunteer Spotlight feature, to celebrate the people who make the CA community so special. It is our way of saying thank you and showcasing how member volunteers shape the CA today and into the future.
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.
On this special day, the Cruising Association and all our members extend congratulations and best wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal as she celebrates her 75th birthday.

Since 2019, the Cruising Association has been proud to welcome Her Royal Highness as an Honorary Member.
Congratulations to CA member David Woolgar, our July ‘Refer a Friend’ prize winner of a Marine Hygiene cleaning bundle – the perfect prize for keeping your boat sparkling.
"I do not usually win anything, so I am over the moon to win this prize! The boat is going to need a good clean as I am halfway through a 6-week cruise," said David.
