With details of crewing service members always on-line you are no longer limited by the lack of crew or boat – have fun, meet great people and discover the pleasure of sharing life aboard.

Meet before you cruise!

The Crewing Service holds informal meetings from February to May at CA House on the 1st Wednesday of each month starting at 1900 – where you can enjoy a meal,a drink and excellent company. In addition you can explore the CA library with its superb cruise planning facilities.

How the service operates

• The annual season is February to October. We operate a fixed season to ensure all records are up to date.
• During the season you are required to update your records every three months, either online or by contacting CA House to remain on the list.
• Skipper and Crew details can be accessed and printed out from your own computer using a unique password. This will be emailed to you by the end of January and is changed from time to time during the season.
• The service is not for those seeking paid work of any kind or for skippers running charters.

Cost:

• Free to CA members, skippers and crew

Non-members – Crew only

• Annual cost £20
• Couples at the same address who want to crew together – £30 for their first year only.

If you decide to join the Cruising Association, the relevant Crewing Service fee will be deducted from your first year's membership.
