If you’re unsure about the strength and heights of the tides, general navigation or the paperwork needed to venture into France, help is at hand. The Cruising Association (CA) will be holding a seminar on Sunday 17th January, to offer instruction on crossing the Channel and answer all your questions.

It will be held at 10am in CA house (just a few stops on the Docklands Light Railway, from Excel’s London Boat Show) and is hosted by three main speakers. Peter Carnegie has sailed extensively in this area and as a former yachtmaster examiner will be talking of his own experiences crossing in bad weather. A senior instructor from First Class Sailing and the CA’s training partner will then discuss various scenarios.

The seminar is open to both members and non-members, plus anyone joining the CA will be entered into a draw to win a £2,300 folding rib, or a Henri Lloyd Elite suit of oilies, worth £825.
