Well done to the 23 cadets in 13 boats who endured the cold weather and gusting winds to complete two days of training and racing last weekend. The Cadets aged between 8 and 15 of all abilities practised their beating, reaching and running skills together with practise starts and finally completed a series of two laps races.
The Programme for the Cadet Training/Races led by Nick and Andras is published in the Cadet Tab under SAILING (on the left hand side), together with the Results. DON’T FORGET TO CHECK YOUR RESULTS, CADETS!!!!

Safety – All competitors are reminded of the Regulations for the Prevention of Collision at Sea and in particular that ships in the channels will have restricted ability to manoeuvre or are constrained by draught and therefore have priority over sailing vessels.
