The Cachalot was first produced in June 2001 as a four page newsletter intended to keep members abreast of club functions and activities and informed as to what the Captain was getting up to in their name.
It is now a 16 page quarterly journal containing, in addition to the above, articles and memoirs written or contributed by Cachalots.
Editorial policy has been to try and keep it that way rather than recycle content that can be found in other nautical publications. We are, however, not adverse to including such items that take our fancy and we think might take that of our readers.
The Cachalot, as printed and distributed to members, is now posted in the members only section, together with the previous editions.
Articles which have appeared in those editions and which may appeal to a wider audience are reproduced here, in no particular order other than the latest are nearer the top.
The list will be populated and updated as time permits.
Feel free to pass them on, but if you do then please give us a mention.
