What's Involved in Cadet Week?
New to Cadet Week?
-
So who's in charge?Cadet Week is led by a passionate team of volunteers and those teaching are all qualified RYA Instructors. The training is provided for MEMBERS ONLY (so make sure you’ve joined the club!) and we’ve plenty of opportunities through the year to keep practicing and enjoying learning to sail in a safe, supervised environment.
-
Do I need my own boat?We have a sheltered lagoon area for introducing young sailors to the water to as well as a fantastic training room above the clubhouse. We can provide boats for the week to get you started and buoyancy aids too. The week involves a mix of activities from classroom work, knots and practical activities, as well as heaps of sailing out on the lake. In no time (often from day one) the sailors will be out sailing on the lake independently under the close supervision of an instructor.
-
Is it an RYA Course?We teach at a ratio of 1:6 and as an RYA Training Centre following very strict standards for our delivery. We normally expect to complete at least one full part of the RYA Youth & Junior syllabus then you can join Cadet Coaching days and continue to have lots of fun!
-
Where does it lead?We recommend Cadet Week as THE starting point to get going, as well as the perfect opportunity to keep coming back and working on new skills. We provide lots more training (for all the family) too and want sailors to take full, active part in club life. If this hasn’t whetted your appetite please contact us and we’ll be delighted to help and answer questions.

Parental HelpWe require parents to remain on site through the week (for safeguarding and supervision ashore as well as to help out). We will put up a rota during the week for running the galley kitchen & to clean up each day (including tidying up the changing rooms) but don’t worry, there will also be time to relax, enjoy the club and the views, watch the sailors having fun. We will also try to get you afloat and provide adult sail training too, subject to demand.
