The CA is delighted to continue its partnership with Cowes Week, 29 July-4 August 2023, as the presenting trophy sponsor for the Club Cruiser Class, which now also extends to the all-new ‘Weekend Warriors Cup’ as a mini-series within the regatta.
For April’s CAptain’s Mate of the Month, we are heading to the popular Baltic cruising waters and dropping in on Sassnitz, Germany.
Located on the northeast of the island of Rügen, Germany’s largest island, Sassnitz offers a mix of charming old town, stunning nature and plenty of facilities. Shelter in the harbour is good, with a choice of pontoon and quay moorings.
Renowned sailor Jimmy Cornell has been honoured by the Cruising Association with the presentation of the prestigious Duchess of Kent Trophy.
The Cruising Association may present the Duchess of Kent Trophy to any sailor, not necessarily a member, who has achieved something exceptional in or around small boats.
The Cruising Association has announced the winners of its annual Log Competition, celebrating the best stories of cruising adventures spanning inland, coastal and offshore cruising in the most recent season.

When you introduce a friend to the CA, not only will they enjoy 25% off their first year of annual membership, but you'll also receive a CA £20 shop voucher* as a thank you from us.
The Cruising Association is proud to announce the winner of its exclusive to members Winter Prize Draw. Simon Brock has won a £2,000 voucher from Lalizas UK, a leading marine equipment provider, who partnered with the CA for the draw.
For March’s CAptain’s Mate of the Month we head to Antwerp, where you will find an excellent choice of marinas and a wide range of mooring and facilities. The Willemdok is an attractive, environment-friendly marina in an inner basin with some 300 berths, with the Linkeroever marina, which is greener and quieter, on the left bank of the Scheldt opposite.
Amongst the many benefits of membership, CA members gain access to hundreds of discounted products and services provided by our trusted brands and partners around the world.
The CA looks forward to working with our new Honorary Treasurer, Nick Clayton and Honorary Solicitor, Jenny Bowes, who have come onboard in these key volunteer appointments.
CAptain’s Mate of the Month for February features the report of CA member Andy Travell on Club Nautico de Sevilla, a marina located at the heart of the stunning city of Seville, Spain.
Getting to Seville, the capital of Spain’s Andalusia region, involves motoring fifty-five miles along the River Guadalquivir from the Gulf of Cadiz in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula, but the effort is worth the destination with plenty to explore.
