A couple of years ago Malcolm arranged a first year membership discount with the Cruising Association for Jeanneau owners.
I was a little sceptical as to what they could offer at first but have to say it has been one of my better sailing memberships.
Even if your plans don't include long distance cruising there is a wealth of information to be gleamed from other members. Information which can save you a lot of money and headaches, like who not to use for an engine service, who does a good job at a fair price or as one member found who to call upon for a tow when your engine has died and you can't make the last 500m into harbour... Ask the port police for this kind of assistance in Greece will cost you big time! In fact, the CA membership cards often attracts a 6-10% discount in Marinas out here. I save 6% on my winter storage ashore which more than pays for my membership.
They also run an App called CaptainsMate which is driven my membership reports. Doesn't sound very exciting but it is a great up-to-date supplement for any pilot guide and you don't have to be connected to the internet to use it.
A belated thanks to Malcolm for making the arrangement in the first place and a 10 out of 10 recommendation for the CA.

Glad your joined up, so did we only just over 1 year but have also really befitted in our slow cruise down the French Atlantic coast, have made several new friends and attended 2 of their useful day seminars in London. We also had a part shipped out to one of the CA Hon. reps in Lorient, which was much safer than sending to a marina. Graham the hon rep - even drove down to the harbour to specially deliver it and was a mine of info. The CA House in Limehouse also has excellent rooms (cabins) that Members can use for overnight - very smart and comfortable and only £60, have used those too great value. If anyone wants the discount code just email me

Are you talking about the JSO group or another association?
