Over the last two days, 8 of our cadets and PPO Gates have been taking part in a beginner's sailing course at Emberton Park Sailing Club.

They've been getting to grips with different types of sailing boats, learning all the essential knots, developing basic sailing skills and taking part in land-based drills to help put everything into practice out on the water.

It's been brilliant to see everyone getting stuck in, learning new skills and building their confidence along the way. It looks like we've got a few budding sailors in the making!

A huge thank you to Emberton Sailing Club and their instructors for giving our cadets the opportunity to take part in this course and making them so welcome.

And of course, thank you to PO H Perris and PO R Perris for giving up their time to facilitate the course and for capturing some fantastic photos along the way!

⚓ Half-term well spent!

Half-term was a great opportunity for our cadets to gain some new skills and qualifications.

At the beginning of the week, six of our cadets took on their Basic Seamanship course, and we're pleased to report a 100% pass rate! 👏

Throughout the course, they got stuck into a range of activities, from learning how to throw heaving lines and tie different knots to understanding sea terminology and their practical uses.

A big BZ to all six cadets on passing their course:

⚓ Cdt Sarah C
⚓ Cdt Luke M
⚓ MCR Bradley C
⚓ NEC SM
⚓ MCR Kelsey K
⚓ CFC Max B

We'd also like to say a huge thank you to CPO Tilley, PO H Perris, PO R Perris, PPO Gates and PPO Corlett for teaching and facilitating the course. Your time and effort in helping our cadets develop their seamanship skills is greatly appreciated!

Well done to everyone involved! 👏⚓
