Simrad AIS transponderIt’s one of the most satisfying milestones in the yachting calendar – the moment when you reach up and start to tug off the masking tape around the waterline, signalling that the antifouling is at last complete, and the boat is ready to go back in the water.

CA LogoIs membership of the Cruising Association (CA) worth the £118 annual membership fee?

That was the question back in October last year when Rosemary and Brian (currently in Tunisia) wondered about it aloud on our forum.  In response, the Cruising Association kindly allowed Sailers to have a good look around their website, join MedNet for a month, and generally have a poke about under the deck boards.

RN AdventurerEXERCISE TRANSGLOBE NEWS UPDATE
Issued: 24 February 2010:  It's Leg 8 and the longest of the entire year-long expedition at 6,300 nm from Auckland to Montevideo, Uruguay.  The knock-on effect of the Army yacht Challenger's recent mast track problems within days of leaving NZ and being forced to turn back for the repair job in Wellington means that the Army are going to be around two weeks behind the other two boats into Montevideo.  Remember that this Expedition is actually a Training Exercise not a full-blown out and out 12-month race  between the services but this delay will almost certainly mean that the Army boat won't be in the right place at the right time to compete in Antigua Race Week in mid-April. The Sydney-Hobart in December/January and Antigua Race Week are the only two bona fide racing legs that have been built into the 13-stage programme.
