Our annual two-day seminar is an ideal event for anyone cruising the Med for the first time and those already in the Med and planning to move to new cruising grounds. CA members and non-members are welcome.
Our keynote speakers will be Rod and Lu Heikell, with additional talks from CA members including Vyv Cox.
Rod and Lu as most know have written several books and Pilot Guides to the Med and other areas. Vyv Cox is a regular contributor to boating magazines on technical matters and has also had books published. We will have speakers covering Buying and Selling Boats in EU post Brexit and VAT implications, First Aid at Sea, Visiting Montenegro and more. See the full programme (one speaker and topic TBC) below.
Prior to the start of the seminar and during breaks on both days volunteers will be on hand in Council Meeting Room to provide country specific information.
You are also invited to join us for an convivial supper on Saturday evening.
