Sharing cruising expertise has been at the heart of the Cruising Association since 1908, and to recognise members’ location information contributions the Polaris Award was launched in 2022.
The Polaris Award is presented in appreciation of exceptional contributions by members to the CA’s Cruising Almanac, CAptain’s Mate and Cruising Guide resources.
The Cruising Association's prestigious annual Flag Officers' Lunch and Challenge Awards presentation took place at CA House, London on 27 January 2024.
The event, hosted by CA President Derek Lumb, awards the most prestigious honours conferred by the CA, marking an annual tradition to highlight the exceptional commitment and impact of volunteers.
The CA wishes all our members and partners around the world Season’s Greetings and Happy Holidays.
Please be advised that CA House will be closed over the holiday period, from 1200 hrs GMT on Tuesday 19 December 2023 through to and including Monday 1 January 2024. Regular opening hours will resume at 0930 hrs on Tuesday 2 January 2024.

As colder weather sets in to the northern Hemisphere, we are steering south to the inviting warmth of Antigua, showcasing Deep Bay as December’s CAptain’s Mate of the Month.
A hugely popular destination, Antigua offers plenty of mooring options around the island. Deep Bay on the north-western side of the island is an inviting and stunning anchorage. An excellent bay for overnight stops, the sand offers good holding and the gently shelving beach is wonderful for swimming.
