Winning the 'Refer a Friend' prize draw in May 2022 is CA member Sue Johnson, who is a medical trainer and referred one of her students to join the CA. Thanks to Icom, Sue was delighted to win an Icom handheld VHF IC-M25EURO radio worth £140.

The Cruising Association (CA) is acknowledged as the leading organisation for sail and motor cruisers, with over 6,400 members around the world.

Founded in 1908, the Cruising Association is at the heart of the world’s cruising community as a leading provider of trustworthy knowledge and information.

The CA and Groupo Trabajo Orca Atlantica (GTOA - Atlantic Orca Working Group) have partnered to launch a new online reporting platform for sail and motor vessels to register orca interactions and sightings along the Iberian Peninsula, in order to better understand the orca’s behaviour and identify ways to help skippers avoid interactions and reduce damage to their vessels.

Since January 2022, we have been showcasing just a few of the 6,500+ locations featured on the CA’s exclusive to members CAptain’s Mate app.

Each month we highlight a CAptain’s Mate location to inspire your cruising adventures and share the vast extent of information on our exclusive to members CAptain’s Mate app.

In April, the CA launched its Refer a Friend monthly prize draw, which runs through until the end of September 2022.

Membership of the Cruising Association grows through personal recommendation – so when a CA member invites a friend to join, your friend enjoys 25% off membership and you receive a CA shop £20 voucher* and automatic entry into that month’s prize draw.

The Kent Section will host a CA stand at Gillingham Marina Open Day on Saturday 14 May 2022.

As a member of the CA, one of the benefits you enjoy is the specially negotiated discounts on marine products and services in the UK and worldwide.
