The Cruising Association unveiled the winners of its annual Log Competition on 27 March 2024, celebrating the best stories of inland, coastal, and offshore voyages from the past cruising season.
Year-round the CA offers our 'Refer a Friend' programme, enabling members to invite their friends to join and enjoy 20% off their first year's membership1.
The CA’s focus remains on building a community that values quality advice and connections, with member referrals remaining the primary way we welcome new members.
As the cruising season arrives along the Atlantic coasts of France, Portugal, Spain and through the Strait of Gibraltar, the Cruising Association (CA) urges vigilance for potential orca encounters.
Thirty years ago, on 24 March, the Cruising Association moved into its new purpose-built headquarters at CA House, Limehouse.
The move came after the rent for the CA’s previous home, Ivory House at St Katharine Docks, tripled, and it became evident that the space was inadequate. Following an extensive search for suitable premises, which needed to be within reach of the London mainline stations, British Waterways offered the site at Limehouse.
The Cruising Association is thrilled to announce CA member Kai Rabenstein as the lucky winner of our exclusive to members Big Winter Prize Draw. Kai has won a TEMO-450 Electric Outboard, plus a kill cord, transom fitting, bag and buoyancy float, worth £1,679, generously provided by Marine Products Direct.
The CA and Haven Knox-Johnston partnered for the highly informative 'Crossing the Channel and Cruising Northern France' webinar, presented by Bob Garrett, joint Channel Section Secretary, and hosted by specialist boat insurers Haven Knox-Johnston.
Porto Santo, a small island 27 nautical miles north-east of Madeira, serves as a great stop-over before sailing on to Madeira itself. Known for its long sandy beaches and friendly locals, visitors enjoy various mooring options, including anchorages, buoys, and a marina.
It is with a mix of admiration and gratitude that the CA announces the retirement of our Membership Secretary, Jennifer Mitchell, after 28 years of dedicated service.
