Who is this year's Cadet Captain?
Luke Sheridan and Alex Downer are the Cadet Captains and serve as the link between Cadets and the Cadet Coordinators. They have started canvassing cadets for their opinions on Club merchandise, activities and theory sessions, which will be included in both the summer and winter sessions.
They can be contacted on cadetcaptain@rvyc.org.uk.
What do our Cadets do?
Meeting throughout the year on a Friday evening, the winter time is taken up with social activities in the club house.
A programme of events for the winter season is published in advance including both Fitting Out and Laying Up Suppers, Capsize practice at the local swimming pool, Cadet Week, and Registration night.
Our first on water sailing session will be in early April and typically every other Friday dependant on tides until early September.
On the non sailing nights the groups may meet for short theory sessions (depending on instructor availability).
