With more than 6300 members across the globe, and growing, The Cruising Association provides services, information, help and advice to cruising sailors worldwide. Founded in December 1908,[3] The Cruising Association publishes an almanac which covers the whole of the British Isles and the Atlantic seaboard of Europe, and has local representatives all over the world. The Cruising Association has 19 UK and worldwide Sections providing specialised knowledge and events wherever members cruise.[4]
