Is it relevant to moboers?
I see that you can stay in their Limehouse rooms for £50 a night which seems cheap.

Is it worth joining the Cruising Association?

Obviously not.

Yes, if you do go cruising and do go to different destinations, rather than getting very familiar with a few local ones.
I'm not sure how relevant sail/mobo is as most of my CA conversations have been about places and facilities rather than boaty techniques. I suspect there are a lot more raggies than moboers simply because they cruise longer distances.
The main benefits I've found are pilotage info where they are very up to date technically and on latest subjective info, and simply having an excuse to wander up to anybody else in a strange marina/anchorage if they are flying the burgee.

The Blue.
You also get the right to wear a blue ensign but have to abide by two very strict rules.
A. you must have at pole to granny knot your funny blue flag too.
and
B.Must be able to answer correctly the challenging multi choice questionaire about which end of your canal boat it is supposed to go.
C. Err...... Thats it really.

relevant - I think yes. cost effectiveness is my issue. You can buy a lot of charts and pilot books every year for the cost of annual membership.
Much is made of discounts on marina fees available to members. In my experience the same discounts (actually very worthwhile 6% off) is also available with RYA membership at a fraction of the cost.

Is there some reason why you can not just piss off, to where you want to go.
Who wants the hangers on.
We stayed on the boat for free, why would you want to cart off to another room.
