C&J team put best feet forward for charity

C&J work colleagues and long-standing friends Dan Kingswell, Wayne Strickland and Managing Director Colin Davies are putting their 15-year friendship to the ultimate test by climbing the highest mountain in Wales for charity.

Over the years they have all taken part in different fund-raising events, but on May 22nd and 23rd they will be taking on Snowdon in aid of the Prostate Cancer Research Centre.

The hardy trio are joining nearly 500 other fundraisers taking part in the Snowdon 500 challenge, and are hoping to raise £1,000 towards the search for a cure for prostate cancer.

Biminis - the future's looking bright!

Summer is just weeks away - it's time to get ready for the sunshine!

Biminis are the ideal cover for hot, uncomfortable cockpit areas - they let in a cooling breeze but repel harmful sun rays, keeping those at the helm stress free and happy.

Our biminis won't get in the way of the sailing or working of the vessel, either, and like all our other frameworks, are built to last, with superior quality a benchmark. All our biminis are created from durable marine-grade stainless steel, and with a range of standard patterns - as well as a self-measurement form for those without - all sizes and shapes are catered for.

Biminis are now a standard for those sailing or chartering in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, so if you're planning a trip or kitting your yacht out for warmer seas, call us on 01243 785485 or email sales@cjmarine.co.uk.
