Henri Lloyd stock clearance on CA stand at Beaulieu boat jumble this Sunday
The biggest social event of the sailing year takes place this weekend – Beaulieu boat jumble.
And if you go along to the Cruising association stand – R221 and R222 – you can buy Henri Lloyd stock clearance at vastly reduced prices. £145 for an Ocean Explorer jacket for instance. Or a coastal foul weather jacket for just £75 – down from £210.
Yachting Monthly asked the CA to assist with a difficult question from a reader.
The question asks about the right a marina has to force its berth holders to use its recommended broker when selling a boat. The CA has investigated the situation and found out that the berth holder has a right to fight the contract.
The CA has recently issues two press releases about Seaplane services which may be starting soon. Boat owners have expressed concern about the impact of these services. They are not a common site in the UK. See below for both press releases.
Seaplanes in Essex
A Scottish seaplane operator is planning to run daily trips between London and the Blackwater in Essex.
The Association is sad to announce that Tony Brett-Jones, a Past President of the CA and, for many years, the Editor of the CA Handbook and Almanac died in February after a short illness.
A full appreciation of Tony's contribution to the work of the Association will appear in the June edition of Cruising.
Details of the Funeral Arrangements, to be held on the 7th of March, are attached below.
