The UK Catamaran Racing Association (UKCRA) is mapping out 'Cat Friendly' sailing clubs and adding them to their big UK map at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show on stand C28.

UKCRA encourage 'Cat Friendly' clubs to come on-board and be part of a UK initiative to welcome new and current catamarans sailors to their club and catamaran sailing fleets.

During the 2015 RYA dinghy show you can sign up your sailing club to the UKCRA 'Cat Friendly' initiative, provide contact and location details.

UKCRA is making your club information available on their UK based catamaran website www.catamaran.co.uk providing a comprehensive link for those starting catamaran sailing and providing a valuable resource for cat friendly clubs to promote their club fleets, catamaran events and open meetings.

Visit the UKCRA stand C28 and your sailing club on the catamaran map.
