Welcome to the Cadets Website
              of Castle Cove Sailing Club

The Cadet season is well underway, but there's still time to join in. If you're new (to Cadets) or we haven't seen you yet this year, come along any Saturday morning - registration 0900hrs- 0930hrs. Check out the new wet briefing room downstairs, thanks to the boat committee we can now meet whatever else is happening in the clubhouse.

A Fantastic Fun Day at Sutton Bingham

Summer finally arrived back in time for the CCSC Cadet's visit to Sutton Bingham Sailing Club's open day; and what a superb day was enjoyed by all. An amazing 85 children of all ages, some of whom had never been in a boat before, all got afloat in a range of boats from Optimists and Laser Bugs, through RS Teras and Fevas to the larger Comet Trios.

For those who could sail the day started with a number of team relay races in a fleet of RS Teras followed by various other races and games (the water football was fiercely contested!). Less experienced sailors paired up and tried their hand at sailing Optimists and Laser Bugs. Meanwhile those who had never set foot in a boat before all progressed quickly from a joy-ride to helming under the supervision of a instructor in the boats.

The day finished with a wonderful sail-past in front of the Club House, prize bags donated by Harken and a barbeque.

We would like to thank all at Sutton Bingham Sailing Club for their kind hospitality and together with Tony Wood from the RYA, for organising such an enjoyable event.

Photos from the day can be found here on the SailDorset Website.
