Baltic

Welcome to the Baltic Section

Baltic Section was formed in 2000 following the Baltic Millennium Rally and now has an international membership of over 1000. Attracted by the area’s reputation for scenic beauty and cultural interest, each year many new skippers and crews set off for the first time whilst others overwinter and possibly stay for several years. Most turn to the CA’s Baltic Section for information and advice.

Baltic Section's "Empire"

Baltic Section looks after the interests of members sailing in the ten countries bordering the Baltic Sea – Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are also in our area of responsibility.

Where We Meet

During the winter the Section provides a series of meetings and social events at CA House in London. These include a popular Baltic Seminar with a full day of presentations on Baltic sailing and a number of country specific 'Information Days' where helpful advice is provided by members with experience of the relevant country.

Being part of our Section

Members have access to a wealth of information which the Section has accumulated and, through research and regular visits together with the support of a network of over 30 local representatives, are kept informed about new legislation, changes to harbours, new publications, discounts available and much more. Baltic Section provides Cruising Guides for all the countries and Cruising Information documents on a range of topics necessary for visitors. Information is available through the Section’s Baltic Newsletter, the website and the forum BalticNet. In normal times, members meet and make friends at rallies in the Baltic and meetings and social events in UK.

The Section represents CA and UK on the Baltic Sea Cruising Network whose members are the major yachting organisations of the countries in the region. Associations have also been formed with many of these organisations enabling Baltic Section members access to some private club facilities otherwise not available to the cruising yachtsman.
