We maintain a private WhatsApp Community containing several groups for the exclusive use of CAI members. Groups may be added and removed from time to time.

Some groups are reserved for committee members or other specialised users, but all current members are free to join and leave these general groups at any time:

• CAI Clubhouse – conversation related to cruising in general
• CAI Sailing – current or planned sailing events or individual cruises
• CAI Regulation – discussion about yacht registration, Brexit, international travel restrictions, qualifications and similar legal matters
• CAI Photographs – your own particularly good sailing photographs that might interest others. CAI may use content here to support our objectives.

The committee can send messages to the whole community in a special ‘Announcements‘ group. (Note that if you leave the Announcements group you are leaving the Community and all the other CAI groups)

Important: Please identify yourself properly by configuring your WhatsApp settings. Your profile picture should be a photograph of yourself. You should fill in your real name in the profile so that the administrators and other members know who you are. To protect your privacy we review group membership regularly, and we’ll remove any group member we can’t identify.

You’ll find detailed instructions for your device on the WhatsApp website: How to edit your profile
