This Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) Conference, organised by their Small Craft Group (SCG), will address the highly important topic, The Shifting Sands of Navigation and Pilotage for Small Vessels at Sea and the uncertainty which surrounds it. It will feature talks on this topic by industry professionals, trainers and officials; it is of extreme relevance for leisure sailors, and the navigation equipment industry.
This edition of CAptain’s Mate of the Month, we find ourselves in the delightful southern Finland town of Tammasaari.
Though it requires a detour upriver off the main east/west passage channels, the journey is rewarded with a well-equipped marina and choice of berthing – buoys, quay or pontoon – along with a fascinating old town and a variety of local sights.
Throughout the spring/summer sailing season, any CA member who referred a friend to join the Cruising Association has been entered into a monthly prize draw.
Congratulations to Jeanne, who was amongst six legendary sailors inducted into the Cape Horn Hall of Fame on Thursday 21 September 2023 in Les Sables d'Olonne, France, home to the Hall of Fame.

The annual CA Photo Competition is a fantastic platform to showcase members’ unforgettable moments from sail and motor cruising adventures during the past season.
The CA’s annual Log Competition stands as one of the association's time-honoured traditions and prominent events, tracing its origins back to 1910 when The Love Cup was first awarded.
The Cruising Association (CA) enjoyed an outstanding presence at Southampton International Boat Show, 15-24 September 2023, expanding our global cruising community with an impressive surge in members.
The Cruising Association is delighted to unveil its annual Winter Big Prize Draw in partnership with Marine Products Direct to win the fantastic prize of a TEMO-450 Electric Outboard worth £1,679.
It might be the river entrance, a view over the harbour or a spectacular view from an anchorage. Whatever the subject matter, it is YOUR photographs in CAptain’s Mate that so brilliantly complement the overview and reports, helping to make it the award-winning app it is today.
