Calling All Cruisers!
Our final CAI sailing event in 2025 is now only two weeks away! Places are filling up fast so book your tickets today on the event page. You’ll find briefing notes there too with all the details.
Hopefully the weather gods will be kind, and we will have the usual great turn-out of well-dressed boats (and crews) for the parade of sail and onshore festivities at the new Docklands Water Sports Centre on the river and later in the Gibson Hotel close by. If you don’t plan to sail please come along anyway, and enjoy a great evening of fun, banter, music and war stories with your fellow cruisers. It promises to be another great night, and it’s our last water-based event this season.

Our raffle has some great prizes on offer with all proceeds going to RNLI. You can buy raffle tickets on the event page, at the reception or at the dinner. Let’s make this a great event for the Lifeboats also.
