In the absence of the London Boat Show in January, the CA has taken the initiative to open its doors to CA members and non-members as well as to a number of high-profile marine companies to exhibit their products and services at CA House.
Our ‘Open Weekend’, focuses on all things boaty and is being hosted at CA House. Everyone is welcome to come along for an informative and fun day out.
We'll be hosting an Open Weekend at our London headquarters at CA House, Limehouse Basin on Saturday February 29 and Sunday March 1.

Getting out on the water to go sailing gives many people around the world great pleasure and the chance to relax and escape the stresses of everyday life. In this Episode Dee Caffari talks to Sir Robin again, this time about his views of the unjustified perception that sailing is an inaccessible and expensive sport to enjoy.
The duo encourage more people who have not been out on the water boating for fun, to give it a go to dispel the myth that boating is only for the elite few and not for the many.
What is in store for the world of sailing? What is Sir Robin’s dream to get more people involved in the sport we all enjoy so much?
In episode 7 of 80 Seconds with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Dee asks about his vision of things to come into the future. Looking at both changes to the types of sailing participated in and the technical details of the boats we will be sailing on, Sir Robin draws on his experience to predict the future.
Repeats every month on the last Thursday 2 times. Also includes Thu Nov 28 2019.

In celebration of all things cruising and to mark the start of Autumn, October is the ideal month for cruising sailors to think about compiling their cruising log from the past season's adventures. Of particular interest to Cruising Association members, October is also the birthday month of a famous and intrepid seafarer and meticulous log-keeper, Captain James Cook, the sale of whose handwritten logs enabled the CA to build its HQ in Limehouse Basin, London.
