Congratulations to CA member James Kenning who wins the 2022 Photo Competition with his photo of dolphins playing off the Portuguese coast.

Professional marine photographer Paul Wyeth partnered with the CA as the official judge, to cast his expert eye across all one hundred and forty-four entries and decide the winner and three runners up.

Each year, the Cruising Association hosts the Flag Officers’ Lunch and presentation of the Challenge Awards at CA House, London to celebrate the outstanding volunteer work and support which contributes to the goals of the CA.

This year’s event, attended by seventy guests, took place on Saturday 20 January, hosted by President Derek Lumb and Council Members, with Honorary Member Mike Golding as guest of honour.

We launch ourselves into January 2023 with an introduction to the stunning Swedish island of Gotland and the well preserved former Hanseatic port of Visby.

Patricia Perraud, representing the town of Saint-Quay-Portrieux in North Brittany, France has become the latest supporter to join our worldwide community of Honorary Local Representatives (HLRs).

The CA is delighted to welcome Andrew Halcrow as our newest Honorary Local Representative to support our worldwide community.

Andrew, a lifelong sailor, will be the HLR for Shetland, a thriving archipelago in the heart of the North Sea.
